A few weeks ago, Evie came running from Emmit's room, tears streaming down her face. When I asked what was wrong, she held out her arm and said, "Emmit bi-di-die-di-doed me".
Well since I have no clue what it means to "bi-di-die-di-doe" someone, I asked her to show me what he did. So she did...she pinched me!
The term has since caught on, and I'm constantly hearing "Don't bi-di-die-di-doe me!", and I've even caught myself saying "Stop bi-di-die-di-doe-ing your brother/sister!"

That'll Shut Him Up!
2 Sundays ago, we were at my parents' house putting together a new swing set. Emmit was playing outside, and all of sudden he said:
"Oh, a cricket! I killed him! He won't crick again!"
"Oh, a cricket! I killed him! He won't crick again!"
Actual Conversation With Evie
The following is an actual conversation that took place with Evie Monday evening at Sonic:
Evie: "Momma, momma, momma. Can I have a cheese stick? Can I have a cheese stick?"
me: "Yes, you can. Here!" {hands cheese stick to Evie}
{Evie takes a big bite & spits something out}
Evie: "Momma, what's this in the middle?"
me: "It's cheese."
Evie: "Well, I don't like cheese."

Keep Your Toddler Rear Facing!

Keep your toddler in a rear-facing car seat until age 2 (not 1)

"New research indicates that toddlers are more than five times safer riding rear-facing in a car safety seat up to their second birthday. Following are some safety tips for car seat use:
All infants should ride rear-facing in either an infant car seat or convertible seat.
If an infant car seat is used, the infant should be switched to a rear-facing convertible car seat once the maximum height (when the infant’s head is within 1 inch of the top of the seat) and weight (usually 22 pounds to 32 pounds) have been reached for that infant seat as suggested by the car seat manufacturer.
Toddlers should remain rear-facing in a convertible car seat until they have reached the maximum height and weight recommended for the model, or at least the age of 2.
To see if your car seat is installed properly and to find a certified passenger safety technician in your area, visit www.seatcheck.org or www.nhtsa.dot.gov/cps/cpsfitting/index.cfm. You also can call 866-SEATCHECK (866-732-8243) or 888-327-4236. "
