Things that surprised me in recent days…
1. That there are now clocks that set themselves. I bought a new clock radio this week, plugged it in…and it displayed the correct time. Kinda freaky, actually…
2. When told to hug his sister for knocking her down, Alex added, of his own accord, “I love you, Erin.” First time that’s every happened. It was definitely too cute!
3. Megan has a molar. At almost 14 months, she has two bottom teeth in, as well as the front top where she’s got one tooth and 2-3 white bumps. But the other day, I realized that she’s completely put through one of her molars. So much for the standard order of these things…and that would also explain some of the cranky she was showing earlier this week, too!
4. I’m beginning to think that Erin is pretty much potty-trained. Even in public restrooms, she can (and wants to) go in, shut the door, do her thing and then let herself back out. Still working on pulling the pants back up, but I think she’s figured this thing out…woohoo!
5. Megan can talk. She’s been doing some animal sounds for a while. She’ll say “no-no” when she’s touching something she knows she shouldn’t have. She totally understands what we’re saying, nodding her head violently to give affirmative answers to our questions. But then…boom…out of nowhere the other day, she starts rattling off real words: nose, ear, belly, all done, stuck, tractor, book, pizza. Heck, this morning, she pointed at my notebook and said “Booh” and when I asked her what color it was, she correctly answered with her word for green (which sounds more like “ghee”). But seriously…this kid’s gonna be hitting full sentences by Christmas at this rate!
So yeah…it’s been an interesting world around here in recent days. Fun…but man, I’ve got to stay on my guard all the time!

I agree- little freaky about the self setting clocks! Yay for the potty training, I love you’s and talking so much already! I don’t know how you do it with 3. I can barely do it with 2!!
