Funny Day

I found myself laughing out loud at several things that happened today.

First, something that made me laugh at myself. Today, I put Caroline in a cute little dress because we were going out to lunch to meet a friend of mine. When she woke up from her nap I got her dress out of the closet and grabbed a pair of her monogrammed diaper covers out of the drawer and dressed her in a big hurry. I started to put her in the car seat and had a hard time getting the straps tight enough around the dress. We had lunch, came back home and she was sitting in my lap. I had my hands around the waist of the dress, which felt odd, like there was some extra material inside the dress. I put my hands up the dress, and, to my surprise, there was the matching diaper cover that came with the dress, still attached. I wondered to myself-- haven't I washed this? I clearly remember washing everything before I put it in the closet back before Caroline was born. And then I looked at the diaper cover and still attached to it was the tattered price tag that I had also left on when I washed it. They always say pregnancy causes you to lose part of your brain function, as well as motherhood causes the phenomenon called "momnesia". I think this is clearly a case of both!

Now for a couple of funny Caroline stories......

Caroline got a Little People airplane from Aunt Helen for her birthday. I have "helped" her play with it, by making it fly through the air and adding airplane sound effects. This morning, she picked up the airplane and started carrying it around, making the "whoosh" sounds that she had heard from me in the past days. I thought it was funny that she remembered and then exactly repeated the sound.

She also happened to get a hold of Chris's cell phone charger. She was playing with his suitcase and the charger was in the pocket. She pulled it out, held it up to her ear and said "hello" and proceeded to have a conversation. Then, she held it up to my ear. I was really laughing out loud at that one.
