I'd been warned about kids taking off their diapers in their crib and smearing poop all over, so was rather anxiously awaiting when it would happen to me.  I have to wait no more:  Emily did a great job on Saturday!!  She is on her second round of antibiotics, which are tearing up her stomach.  When I went to get her from her nap, she was sitting in a pool of poop.  She still had her diaper on, it had just leaked all over.  She had splashed it, so it was all over her onesie, her hands, her face, the bumper, her toys, ...  everywhere!!  Needless to say, we went straight to the tub!  We've had many more messes this week - I sure hope her ears have cleared, because we're ready to be done with antibiotics!!!
On a more fun note - we went shopping for sandals, and Emily cried when I tried a pair on & then put them back b/c they didn't fit.  When we found a pair that did fit, she was so excited!  Today she proudly showed them to Shawn, and then strutted around in them when he put them on for her.   :-)
Also, she's had another tooth break thru - on top, to the right.
Joshua has several new words, including "amazing, cool & maybe."  He's also been calling Emily "lil punkin".  He says everything in the past happened "yesterday" (sounds like: yes-daaaay.)  And if he wants you to read he'll say "mama talking".  The English language is so hard!  say, talk, speak...  He imagination is growing as well.  We will drive his truck to the imaginary mailbox & he'll put a key in and take out imaginary toy books, and boxes with toys in them.  Then we go to the imaginary grocery store to get milk and bread, and we have to put the imaginary milk into the real fridge!
He wanted a diaper on his lovee bear, but at the same time said that bear doesn't potty because he doesn't eat anything.  Interesting equation there...
