Time to activate the TV's parental lock. (for the husband)

Right now Rion really likes Indiana Jones. There is already so much marketing happening for the new movie that it's kind of hard to ignore. I told him we could watch parts of Raiders, but I wouldn't let him watch the end. The other day when I came home from work Rion started talking about Raiders. "And their faces were melting," he said, "and there was blood."

"You let him watch the end of Raiders," I asked Fred.

"No," he said, "I had it on, but he wasn't watching it."

"Then why is he telling me about blood and melting faces?"

"Oh. I guess he was watching it from the computer."

Rion always watches TV from the computer desk. You don't think he's listening either and then you hear him around the corner repeat something from the TV or worse something you have said. Now maybe Fred understands why I got so mad at him for watching Entourage in the middle of the day recently. So far Rion hasn't suffered from any nightmares, but he still talks about it.

It's nice to be missed

The nice thing about working is coming home. Cordelia's face lights up when she sees me. If I don't immediately pick her up she gets upset. Yesterday, after I got home, I went into the kitchen. Cordelia started to cry and she turned on her tummy so she could see me. I peeked out around the corner and she smiled and stopped crying. I love that she knows who her mommy is and that she loves to see me. I hate leaving the kids for work, but knowing that I've been missed makes me feel so good.

Arrrrrrr, matey

The boys and I were playing pirates yesterday. This is what Torii said to Rion, "Fight me, you scurvy dog."

Well, that's how mommy does it

We were at Grandma's the other day and Torii was playing with some dolls. Grandma also had a doll in her hands and Torii tells, "let's feed the babies." Grandma says "ok" and follows Torii to the couch. Torii sits down, lifts up his shirt and puts the baby up to his chest.
