Baby Merrick

We got to watch Merrick yesterday. Josie had fun with him and was nice to him. She fed him the bottle and told him no, no baby when he tried grabbing her with his hands. She brought him all his toys and watched Blue's Clue's with him. He began cooing during the show and she told him "shhh baby". When Dakota came home and was holding him Josie threw a fit and tried pulling his legs saying "my baby". She wanted him back on the floor where she could see him and rub his head. I can't believe what a good baby he is. Of course Cy tried to eat him up, being the baby lover he is.

Happy Halloween

This year I bought the foam pumpkins instead of real ones. The kids had fun carving them nonetheless. It was less messy but the kids said it was a little harder to carve. I think I like the foam ones better.
Josie being the movie watcher she is loves the Barbie movies- Rapunzel and The Nutcracker. At the beginning Barbie and Kelly are together before Barbie tells her the story. So now Josie calls me Barbie. And she is finally getting potty trained. She will go pee but calls it poop. The deciding factor I guess was that she gets to empty the toilet. She hasn't pooped in it but hopefully before she turns 3.

My political stand

Tonite as we were eating, Fletcher got some ice cubes and Josie said " Dad I want some rocks" Took a minute to realize what she wanted. Now at the risk of sounding political let me just say this. I really want to watch the debates, mainly to watch Palin, I really like her. But I guess I have too much red hot blood from my dad, I get to worked up at the opposite side and want to yell at the tv and tell the other guy that he's cheating you can't walk a batter. Wait I had a flash back to little league days. What I meant is you can't make up lies and say it like its the truth. Thats all I'm gonna say about that.
