And so this is Christmas....

Sleep

Between Harper and the other 3 randomly waking up, we get about 2 hours of sleep around here at night at a time. The other night we hear from Logan's room, "Help! Me nose not working anymore."

Translation: I can't breathe through my nose.

Solution: cool mist humidifier next to the bed

potty training logie

Group potty training effort - note Emma's panies on Logie, Sam feeding him juice to make him "go" and emma reading him a story. The end result was a very stubborn Logie with the potty on his head, pee dripping down his legs, yelling "NO ME LIKE ME POTTY ANYMORE!!!"

Sam's future occupation

Today in the car I asked Sam what he wants to be when he gets older. He said,

"I will be Ironman and a daddy because you are a doctor and a mommy and daddy is a fiscal perfectionist (physical therapist) and a daddy."

I do believe that the world needs more fiscal perfectionists and more Ironmen.

Logan

Logan is perhaps our funniest child at the moment (also the most difficult) and this is one of his favorite phrases:

"....me happy"

So most of his day goes something like this:

"No me have breakfast, me happy."
"No me have me coat, me happy."
"No me cold, me happy."
"No me have poopy, me happy."

Translation of "me happy" - "leave me alone, I'm fine as is."

Gender issues

Recently, I was giving Harper a bath, and Emma was helping. She pointed to Harper's "private area" and commented that Harper did not have a penis like Logan. I said, "Girls have vaginas." Several minutes later, after some silence and in complete seriousness Emma asked, "What's that Chinese word for Harper's penis again?"
