Her Lips Are Sealed

Yesterday, Aerin visited the Hello Kitty store on her Daddy/Daughter date. Among other things, she bought a little baby bottle filled with orange liquid. Later, while I was buying my no-fat but covered in cinnamon and sugar pretzel, she was trying to drink from the bottle. She couldn't get anything out, so she looked for some instructions on the bottle. She read:

Orange Scented Glue

We had trouble paying for my pretzel because we were laughing so hard.

More On Shaving

Aerin: Dad, I know how to shave.
Dad: Really?
Aerin: Yes [pantomiming shaving]: "Ow! I cut myself. Ratsa frattin, gruel fribbin!"

Build A Bear

Aerin spent her BuildABear gift card yesterday (Thanks, Shannon and Jeff). Her kitty got a new fairy costume (and red underwear) and her bear inherited the old fairy costume.

The Cruise!

When asked what was her favorite part of the cruise to Mexico, Aerin replied "The shopping!"

Fashion Expert

One day Tracy had tucked in her shirt. Aerin said, "Mom, don't tuck in your shirt. It makes you look like a dork!"

Shaving(?) Accident

Aerin came out of the bathroom one day last week with a bit of toilet paper stuck to her chin. She said that she had seen me do that when I cut myself shaving, and she had a boo-boo on her face.

Aunt Marge

Tracy's Aunt Marge never had to do dinner dishes. She always disappeared into the bathroom right after the meal, and didn't reappear until after the dishes were safely disposed of. Her "skill" had passed to Dallin, and now has passed to Aerin.

Aerin's cover was blown, however. We could hear her chortling as she read Garfield long after she was "done". Now she has a time limit.

Sharks game

Aerin went to her first Sharks game tonight. Actually, her first hockey game. What an exciting game! Bummer we lost in overtime.

During the second period, I felt a nudge on my shoulder. Sharkie, the mascot, sat down right next to Aerin, but she wouldn't pay him any attention. Finally, I grabbed her hand and made her give him a high five.
