Can't Sleep

Julia has been having lots of trouble going to sleep and staying in her bed. There are all sorts of things going on with that. She goes to bed upstairs and first. She sleeps in her room by herself while the rest of us are in the master bedroom and even sometimes in the master bed.

Her excuses are usually standard pre-schooler excuses: she doesn't feel good, she's scared, she's hungry. Tonight - as of 10min ago - a full 2.5 hours past her bedtime, I hear her tell her mom:

I want to sleep in your bed. Your bed is soft and comfortable. My bed isn't soft or comfortable. 

So, once again her verbal skills make it that much harder to say no even though you know you have to.

Bacon

Julia: I smell bacon.
Tara: Daddy is cooking bacon.
Julia: I am hungry for bacon.

Wise words from a 3.5 year old.

Boobies

We had a potluck dinner with some friends tonight.
It was lovely to see everyone & catch up as it had been awhile.
While at their house, I had to feed Jacqueline of course so I sat down in a very comfortable looking chair. Unfortunately it was right near the TV & the kids were watching a program.
I figured distractions were imminent for everyone, especially Miss Jacqueline who is the queen of popping on & off the breast now.
Luckily she was hungry & motivated so it wasn't a problem.
However, one of my friend's sons, D, who is 6 or 7 years old & very friendly & curious which is good, came over to chat with me.
He & his older brother, C, loved playing with Julia as a baby & so of course he loves to see how the new baby is too.
Well, he asks what is she doing; I explain that she's eating.
He pauses, stares at me, then comments "that is gross to eat from your boobies."
I respond that some babies eat food this way & probably he do too.
He shakes his head no & walks away.

So funny!
