Onion Dip Anyone?

Well, as if the glitter wasn't enough a few days ago, Paulchen got into some onion dip today.  That was really fun.  It was this time that Paul finally learned it really only takes a minute or two for Paulchen to cause so much trouble. Paul came to hang out with me in our bedroom as I woke up.  While we talked, we heard some squealing and were happy.  Boy were we dense.  Then Paulchen came in with a butter knife covered in white goop.  All I could think was he got into the mayonaise and there was now a broken jar on the kitchen floor.

Paul stepped out of our room and started exclaiming.  I told him I didn't want to see, just tell me.  I eventually looked.  Ava was weraing some of the white goop.  It turns out Paulchen found the French Onion Dip in the fridge and "iced" Ava with it.  The rest of the tub was upside-down on the kitchen floor.

Glitter... AGAIN!

Well, today was a VERY busy day.  First, this morning Paulchen showed me his new understanding of "left" and "right".  He held out his right hand and said "left", then his left hand and said "right".  Okay, so he had them mixed, but he understood the concept finally.  By the end of the day, he had them correctly labelled.

Paulchen is also very eager top learn German.  He remembered that his favorite "buddy" Turtle, is called Schildkrote in German.  All day long, he would say a word in English and wait.  The wait was for me to teach him the German.  So as we were driving and saw a tree, he would say, "tree..." and I would say "baum".  Then he would say, "tree... baum".  He's so clever.

Yet sometimes he's too clever.  It seems we had some more glitter hiding in the craft store within his reach.  So once again, his sister was doused in green glitter.  Darn it, just as I was getting the last batch out of her hair, we have to go through this all over again.

What you doing?

This morning while I was playing with Paulchen, he said, "What you doing Cat?"  I looked around me or a book with a picture of a cat and couldn't find anything.  Then I realized he was probably calling me by my nickname.  I asked him what he said and he repeated it.  I had a good laugh and gently changed it to Mummy.  Then he said it properly.

I went to tell Paul what his son said and ask him if he set me up.  Paul was clueless and thought it was funny.  Then Paulchen came in and looked at his father.  I crossed my fingers that he would say "What you doing Paul?"  What he said made me burst out and laugh.  "What you doing Tiger?"  Paul was shocked.  He swore I told our son to say that, but I didn't.  He used his Da's nickname.  It was hilarious.

Bucket Ride

Paulchen and Ava have found a new way to occupy themselves at work.  Paulchen was annoying me as he pushed a mop bucket around the store and Ava was annying me with the fact that I could not put her down without her whining.  Finally I had an idea.  I had Paulchen bring the bucket over and placed Ava in it.

Now every time we go to work, Paulchen brings the bucket over and says "Down Ava."  I place Ava in the bucket and he pushes her all around the building.  It's really cute and they both have a lot of fun.

Walking the Lonely Road

Well, maybe not so lonely.  As usual, Ava stood up and was holding on to the furniture to move around.  She'd been pushing Paulchen's castle and chair to get around the apartment today.  For giggles, I asked her to come over to me.  I knew what would happen.  She'd stand for a moment or two, then get down on hands and knees and crawl to me, taking the easy way out.

Instead, she took three steps and fell.  I was practically screaming with delight and calling Paul.  He ran out and she took some steps for him as well.  We were so excited, she became overly excited as well.  We are so proud of our little girl.
