MEMO!
Guess what we did this weekend????
We had breakfast with Elmo, or Memo as Callan calls him. My little brave boy was thrilled! He was so excited to see Elmo walk in the door! He started waving to him, and when it was his turn for a little boy-on-monster time, he ran over to him, gave him a hug, laid his head in his hands, honked his nose and then pulled his 'beard.' Memo is still recovering, but we had so much fun!
It was a very busy 60 seconds, but just as sweet as could be! Callan was running around, looking and touching everything and just absolutely loving every second. Luckily we were at the Children's Museum where looking and touching are encouraged! It was a blast! Yay MEMO!

I took this picture because I think it might be the only pay phone receiver Callan will probably ever use in his life! Viva la cell.
Guy Smiley's Game Show exhibit had BUTTONS! It was a favorite!
And more of Callan's favorite--WATER! All right with in reach. Luckily, this was a little too high to try out our new drinking skills where we drink whatever water we find ourselves in...the pool, the bath, etc. We did work up a thirst, but we stuck to our sippy instead of the Big Gulp.
Indepence Day
OK. Belated 4th of July Post. We had lots of fun! On the 3rd we took a trip to our friends Jeff & Joanie's cabin where Eric was DELIGHTED to discover the closest thing I will ever allow him to have to a 'safety harness' (read: child's leash): an infant life jacket. Doesn't Callan look thrilled????
We also got to go to a 'picnic' at NiNi and Papa's! Lots of fun and a little more freedom! Only Moxie was on a leash here!
Intercom
A loosely based transcript.
As you might imagine, Eric and I aren't always in the same room. And sometimes, to be heard, we must yell at one another. Only in the most loving of ways, of course. And sometimes the things we yell are a little peculiar. Pretty much the only thing we should ever yell is "HELP!" Meaning come here now I want to: show you; ask you; tell you; hurt you. This occurred to me this weekend while Eric yelled the following things to me:
Setting: Our house, me in closet, Eric in Callan's room w/Callan.
Eric: DOES THE FACE GO IN THE FRONT OR THE BACK?
me: WHAT?
Eric: DOES THIS GUY'S FACE GO IN THE FRONT OR THE BACK?
me: OF WHAT?!
Eric: (pissed) DOES HIS FACE GO ON HIS BUTT OR NOT?!
This was concerning to me for many reasons. However, I was relieved to learn that The Guy was not Callan, but Elmo. And the face was Elmo's face but the butt was Callan's. He was trying to figure out which way his swim diaper went on.
Phew.
