Today’s 2 Funny Stories
Story #1: With the remodel in progress, we’ve moved the kids to their room upstairs while Jason and I are still sleeping downstairs. So after 4 and a half years of having kiddos in our lives, we finally broke down and bought a baby monitor. On a separate note, when we sang ‘Happy Birthday’ to Tarek earlier this month, he didn’t really get it. Since then it’s been growing on him. This morning we woke up to this coming out of the baby monitor:
Tarek (singing): Happy Birthday to Taaaaarek. Haa-
Maia (interupting): Tarek, quiet … stop singing. I’m trying to sleep!
Story #2: Maia is a little obsessed with President Obama. She recognizes his voice on the radio and gets excited if she sees a picture of him. Today, the kids and I were standing in line at Alterra coffee shop and Maia yelled, “Mama, look … Obama.” I was instantly embarrassed and sheepishly looked around the room for the unsuspecting man who was just falsely accused of being President Obama. Instead, and to my relief, I realized that she saw a photo of him on a greeting card and there was no actual doppelgänger in the room.
