The One With the Fly On the Wall

Or, a conversations round-up post for my sister who is due any day now. Hope this makes you laugh Jess :)

Here are some things you’ve missed the last two weeks:

The One With the AC Unit

Apparently new AC units (for central air) aren’t meant to go below 70 degrees.

H.I.T.: Ridiculous. Shouldn’t I be able to determine how cold I want to be at night? I wake up drenched in sweat every night.

Sister: Husband is from California - we sleep with the AC at 73 every night.

H.I.T.: WHAT?! If Husby tried doing that, I’d make him dress up in some long johns, flannel snow pants, and an oversized hooded sweatshirt for his pajamas and I’d hide a heating pad on his side of the bed. How else can you teach empathy?

The One With the Wine Fridge

Following Babes around while she explores the kitchen:

Babes, stops in front of our wine fridge: Dada!

H.I.T., thinks, “Girl knows her father,” says, smiling: Yes, honey, Daddy.

The One With ABC’s


My daughter, the picky eater:

Avocados = YUCK
Broccoli = YUM
Carrots = YUCK
Salmon = YUM

I don’t even like salmon.

Watermelon = YUCK
Pickles & BBQ Potato Chips = YUM

I wonder if she inherited my pregnancy cravings for taste buds.

The One With the Splish Splash

In the kitchen*, cooking dinner:

Husby: H.I.T., where’s Babes?

H.I.T.: Playing in the hallway. She thinks if she stands at the bathroom door long enough, it’ll magically open and let her in.

Husby, looks down the hallway at Babes: Uh...H.I.T., it looks like Babes figured out a way to “magically” turn the handle and open the door.

We both run down the hallway to grab her before damage can be done...

Babes, laughing and splashing around in the toilet: Ha! Ha ha!

H.I.T.: She's mocking us. She's definitely mocking us.

Husby: That's our little girl!

*The hallway is less than 10 feet away from where I was standing and this happened in all of one minute. I think you get my gist...
