Got my first screamed "I NEED A FIRE TRUCK! FIRE TRUCK!" as he went to bed last night. I went in and gave him a fire truck and he was out like a light.

Little dude got a Thomas the Tank Engine set for his birthday. We set it up, ran the trains, pulled the cars, lost the boulders… we had a good time.
Man took one of this trains to bed with him and slept like a rock holding that thing. One of those OH COME ON cute moments that you think only happens in Hallmark commercials.

We bought a Thomas set for a friend's kit & she reported the same "train in bed" development - too cute!

Abby saw a boy playing with a football on Saturday morning, and asked for one all day long. "Foo-bah. Foo-bah. Foo-bah." So that night I took her and her brother out to the sporting goods store and bought them each size-appropriate footballs. At about two in the morning, she woke up screaming "Foo-bah! Foooooooo-BAH!" I couldn't find hers, but I managed to find the bigger one that I got for her brother. She snuggled up with it and went back to sleep.

Kid obviously, not kit xp
My wife and I are genuinely concerned about the amount of crap in my son's crib. It's like he sleeping in a toy box.

as we drove home yesterday, "gangsta's paradise" was on the radio, and as it faded down to just the choir at the very end, evie asked "is this christmas music?"

Wait - she's old enough to be asking stuff like that?! Mind blown.

Wasn't this kid just born?
Last night, as we were putting her to sleep, Abby kept moaning "Pink binkie...gone! Blue binkie...gone!" which was weird because she had both of those binkies in her possession (alternating between mouth and hand). My best guess is that she's got some anxiety about losing them.

Insane. Also, I have no idea what two year old are like but that seems like an impressive thing to recognize - that choral stuff might be Christmas music. Smart girl! :)

they've been talking about christmas at her day care a lot, so it's on her mind. they probably listened to christmas music there and that's where she picked it up. but she's a little brainiac too.

my little guy has taken to identifying colors pretty accurately but also using them w/other words at random ("yellow mama", "blue dadda" for example.) recently he started putting colors together with the word "people", which was pretty awkward when the cable guy came over and heard an 18 month old saying the phrase "black people" over and over.

Veronica: What is that statue?Me: It's some Christian saint.Veronica: What are Christians?Me: Christians are people that believe Jesus Christ was a very special person. Veronica: Who is Jesus?Me: He lived a long time ago and had ideas about how people should live their lives, be nice to each other, things like that. Christians believe Jesus was magical. For example, they believe he died and came back to life.Veronica: Like a zombie?

I was saying on the other thread how my little girl gets scared of spooky stuff sometimes, but she also plays a bunch of zombie games on my wife's tablets and has a growing collection of Zombies vs. Hunters figures. Sometimes it gets real important that we find “Girl Zombie” at bedtime.

yeah that's what reminded me of this exchange... my daughter is similar, she insists on going up the stairs in the dark and then shrieking cuz she sees a vampire or a werewolf or whatever but it's all giggles and melodrama as far as I can tell. she hasn't come crying to us about nightmares or freaked out about anything (yet). I fear I may be raising a little horror fan haha
