few mason notes

just life as normal here. madelyn's eye is finally back to normal and she just has the bite left on her nose.

we went to the pool on friday morning with some neighborhood friends, but i didn't get any pictures because i was too busy with the kids. that was most likely our last trip to the pool for the summer because they close the pools here after labor day.

this is just a quick post to note a few things about mason.

- mason likes to sit on the couch and point the remote control at the t.v. he isn't so interested in actually watching the t.v. but he loves to point the remote and push the buttons.

- the couch is becoming one of mason's favorite places. while i am cooking in the kitchen he likes to play peek-a-boo with me by jumping up and saying "dah!" over and over. sometimes he gets a little overzealous and falls backwards off the couch.

- we were watching the "build it, rocket" episode of little einsteins (madelyn's current favorite) and mason kept trying to climb up my face every time the music for the big, bad wolf would start. he was sitting on my lap drinking his milk after a nap and would just start trying to get closer to my face every time the wolf entered the scene (it was a three little pigs episode). i couldn't believe that he was scared and he settled down by the end of the episode, but he did it again the next time we watched it too. odd.

- again, after nap we were watching "build it, rocket" while mason drank his milk. towards the end of the episode i was getting ready to put mason down off my lap when i looked down and saw that he wasn't wearing a diaper. i was really, really thankful that i found out that way and not in a wet stream. he was wearing a jumper outfit that i hadn't snapped up at the bottom when i changed his diaper before his nap and that is why i didn't notice his nakedness when he woke up - he was covered. i made a bee-line for the changing table with him since he had just finished a large cup of milk and i knew that there would be pee soon. once i had him safely diapered up i started to look for the missing diaper. it wasn't in his bed or room and he hadn't been any where else. and then i saw it - in the diaper pail! he had taken off his diaper and put it in the diaper pail.

tomorrow is a busy day so i am off to bed! love.
