"Daddy, can we pleeeeease...."

Conversation between Austin & Matt last night, Austin: "Daddy, can we watch Animal Planet?" 2 seconds pass....... Austin: "Daddy, can we watch Animal Planet?" 2 more seconds pass........ Austin: "Daddy! Can we pleeeeeease watch Animal Planet?" Immediately.......Matt: "Yes, we can watch Animal Planet." 5 seconds later.... Austin: "Daddy, can we watch Animal Planet?" They were in the basement & I was in the kitchen I had to laugh, out loud. Wonder where he gets his impatience from?

Today Lily went exploring, which means it's time to put the gates up. She used to stay in the room where she was put. But today I put her in the living room and then went in the boys room to work on laundry. The boys ran between the rooms. Eventually , when I checked on her, she was headed for the front door, which was new. Then she rounded the couch and was headed for the kitchen. Then she rounded the hallway corner and headed towards the bedrooms. She eventually went into the boys room and started paying. The whole time I stayed mostly out of site because I wanted to see what she'd do. She army crawled the whole thing, pretty quickly, and only stopped 2x, to check out the desk knobs & the tri-fold standing picture frame. And, I think we're beginning to hear "ma ma ma".
