Last night I was reading Erin the story of Adam & Eve. The snake was trying to get Eve to eat the apple, and said "don't you want to be wise?" I asked Erin "do you know what "wise" means"? She said "Yes, it means to be naked!"

birthday weekend 1
few quick notes....
erin had a blast at the party, i guess! she refused to eat lunch before we went, so when we got there, she just wanted to eat snacks. which i think was a coverup for her being nervous, remembering that this is where she hurt her tooth a few months ago! it took some doing, but by the end of the party, she was going down the big slide again. the funniest 2 moments were when she realized that everyone was going to be looking at her and singing "happy birthday" and she suddenly turned shy and refused to enter the room, and when she & Evie were playing air hockey, and seemed to think the point of the game was to hit the puck into their own goal....just cute!
wish me luck - i think jack's spoil-threshold is ridiculously low right now, for whatever reason. the last 2 nights he's woken up & violently SCREAMED, wanting me to hold him while he slept. saturday night it was 2 hrs of him screaming, me letting him cry for a while, me picking him up, him sleeping, me putting him down, him screaming, etc. in the end, we put him & the pack n play in the master closet....people seem to think that wasn't very nice of us! last night it was a much shorter ordeal, only 30-45 minutes or so, most of which we were busy with erin during, so it didn't seem that bad. erin's cough that she's had for ~3 weeks got much worse yesterday (though it seems improved today), and 3 times yesterday she got herself so worked up w/a coughing fit that she puked. one of those times was at 11:30 at night, probably woken up by jack's screaming fit, so scott was changing her sheets while i was consoling her, and jack was screaming out his frustrations. the coughing fits are weird. i truly believe that 10% of it is actual needing to cough, and 90% of it is getting herself in a tizzy, making it worse. She & jack both have a checkup friday - based on today, i think we'll make it till then w/no trouble!
