Some More 2-year-old Doozies

Now that all signs of humidity have departed, we're getting shocks all over the place. Each time the girls get shocks, they off-handedly comment, "Bug bite." And then they go on doing whatever they were doing.

I'd almost forgotton, but with all of our pronounciation focuses, we often get over-pronounciation from the twins. They were excitedly wishing everyone near them, "Happy ne-ude year."

And tonight, as we listened to a music CD that my folks gave Grant for Christmas, one on which the band uses Grant's name throughout the songs, some little kids chimed in on a few songs. Breanna talked about the monkey chips, and I didn't get it right away, but finally realized she was getting at "chipmunks." Sure enough, the next time the kids sang, they sounded an awful lot like monkey chips.

Some call this time the terrible two's, but really, when this kind of stuff is going on, who can't help but smile?
