Cael's friendship with Clio remains strong. He continues to refer to her with her full title, "My friend Clio," and be unusually distressed when she is not with him. This morning he wanted her to play but she wanted to snuggle in Ryan's discarded bathrobe on the floor of our bedroom.
(Password: Allie)
Clio appears to be unmoved. (Literally.)

My Friend Clio
Clio is likely allergic to something that's currently blooming, because she got a cut or scratch and it reacted much like the cut or scratch she got last time this year, which is to say - we took her to the vet for the good drugs.
I told Cael that we were going to be taking Clio to the vet, and he took this very seriously. He insisted that he be the one that break the news to her. He went into the living room and sat beside...

You Know You're Jealous
I usually make it a policy not to cook anything that calls for white wine, as I find that leads to having to actually drink the stuff, but I make an enthusiastic exception for this meal. Newly discovered and already one of my very favorites:
Sausage and Fennel Orzotto
We do sweet Italian sausage and half the pepper flakes because that's the way I roll, but I'm sure it's great in its intended form as we...

What Does Finn Say?
Finn has been saying "Uh oh!" for quite some time now. He seems to be under the impression that it is more versatile of a word than it actually is. He uses it when he drops things, throws things, or just plain feels like it's getting too quiet.
This is his first foray into consciously using a word solely for its intended purpose:
While reading a book to Finn I pointed to a picture of a dog and...

We're So Very Doomed
"What?! The red cheek? No, Mama! I'm not even a little bit tired! I'm just SUPER CUTE!"
"Not tired at all. Nope. I like to space out when I eat. I find the half-lidded eyes make the pancakes taste sweeter."
"FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE. IS IT NAP TIME YE...

No, Mom - YOU are doing it wrong.
Finn has plastic shapes that drop into their box through cut-outs on the lid. It has six different shapes, so it's a little advanced, and he gets a little confused, but if you point him in the right direction he has no trouble twisting the piece to get it to drop down.
I was letting him struggle with finding the correct spot on his own when he decided he'd had enough. He lifted up the lid, threw it to the side, and started...

Gangly. Big surprise.
We knew he was going to be gangly. He's a spawn of Ryan, after all. What we didn't know was that it would come in the form of a cyst.
We recently noticed that Finn has a big, bulbous thing on his left wrist. Though I was leaning toward taking Finn to the ER the moment I noticed it, Marty assured me it wasn't a broken or malformed bone and the triage nurse on the phone said if it wasn't hurting him then we could just wait for...

Sleigh Box Rides!
The lens I have on the camera right now does not allow me to look through the viewfinder and pull the boys at the same time, so I didn't get the ideal pics of this, but you can still get the gist...

Cael's Parenting Skills
[As Ryan is leaving for work]
Cael: Daddy, drive safe-a-leee! Don't drive faster! You might bonk into any cars!

Allie: And what's this?
Cael: P!
Allie: It's like a P, but it has an extra line on it, see? It's an R.
Cael: Mama, you're really great at this. Good job!

Allie: No, Finn. You can't eat that.
