Life with TWO

"Vincent has an owie!! What's wrong? What happened, Mama?"

How do you explain to a 2 year old why there's a cord attached to a belly button yet and it needs to fall off on its own? We told her it didn't hurt him, but he doesn't seem to understand. Oh well.

She seemingly has this crazy desire to pick it off his belly. And of course, "He needs a bandaid, Mama. He has owie."

Vincent got his second sponge bath yesterday since it was warmer in the house (and outside). He had some cord goo on his outfit, so I decided to clean him off while he was having naked time. Got him cleaned, changed (which he HATES getting anything pulled over his head)....and 2 minutes later he pooped. So I change him...as I'm closing the diaper...pee everywhere. NEW OUTFIT! SO, really what was going to be a nice calming sponge bath turned into 15 minutes of Vincent crying because of this whole fun ordeal--in addition to the fact that he was hungry because I was just going to give him a quick bath.... I can't wait to be able to immerse him in water, I think he'll love bath time!

OH, and to make this 15 minutes more fun, Quinn got soap in her eyes or stubbed her toe somehow or something in the bath tub and SHE was screaming that the only thing that would make her better is a juice box. Mike was luckily available to help with the Quinn bath fun. SO, moral of that story is don't put Q in the bath tub when Vincent is awake ever. Lesson learned!

Today is Mike's first day away for the whole day. Hopefully stir crazy Quinn will stay close to the house when we go play outside today!
