figured it out

another marin post-
marin has a blankie that she loves. it get's kinda nasty at times. i was "smart" enough to go to target and get another blankie as a backup. it's not exactly the same colors but pretty close. for whatever reason she now has both blankies in her bed. this morning she was holding both blankies on norton's lap. here is the short conversation they had.
norton: "what does this blankie smell like?" (referring to her original blankie)
marin: "something"
norton: "what does this blankie smell like?" (referring to the backup)
marin: "nothing"
there you have it folks! that is why having backup lovies will never work. :)

someday

marin doesn't seem to quite understand the aging process. now that she is in big girl panties, we tell her that she is a "big girl." but apparently being a big girl isn't such a great thing for her. she constantly tells us that, "someday, when i'm a baby, i'm going to sleep in my crib, wear diapers, drink from a bottle, etc." the first time i heard her say this i tried to explain....now i just let it go. :)
