the babe, the boy, and me....

...a running commentary on my life in general. Who knows what I will write about on any given day? It could be about the kids (The Boy, age 3 or The Babe, age 5), it could be about my husband, or it could be about (gasp!) me, and what I am thinking/feeling/doing. After all, it is "all about erika". I am not sure how entertaining this might be to anyone who isn't me. You've been warned.

club house

Who knew life could be so fun?

Today The Boy took all the pots and pans out of the cupboard. He has done this many, many times before. He takes them out, he puts them in, he takes them out, he puts them in... over and over and over again. Well, today was different. He took them out, and he put himself in. He realized that he fits quite nicely in the cupboard, and he thought it was so much fun.

Leave it to The Babe to kick it up a notch. The cupboard is now their "club house", and it currently houses many stuffed animals and blankies. Nevermind the pots and pans that are residing on the dining room floor as a result.

The Babe and The Boy have been in the club house for a large chunk of the day. It's actually quite nice, they are playing and pretending together, even though one of them barely speaks. The Babe has also brought out her prized Disney Princess flashlight as mood lighting for the club house. They just love it in there. It's really been amusing for me, as I am listening to their "conversations" in the muffled tones coming from under the counter-top.

As an added perk, the flashlight has generated a lot of entertainment all it's own. I'm not sure The Boy has ever seen a flashlight work before, or at least he's acting like he hasn't. He holds it in his hand, turned on, pointing at the ceiling, and then runs around trying to catch the light as it dances all over the place. It's very entertaining.
