GO AWAY, SNIFFLES!! (& SOME EDEN FUNNIES!)

Sorry for lack of posting lately. We have been battling a nasty sinus infection at my house. Nick dealt with allergy stuff for about a week and then developed a sinus infection. Poor guy had to deal with it for 2 weeks straight and is still coughing some. Then, Eden got a sinus infection & now me. When I took Eden on Friday, her pediatrician started her & I both on an antibiotic. I woke up that morning with a sore throat and just knew I was getting it too. I started the meds and thought I was in the clear until Sunday night when I started getting sniffly, head pressure, congestion etc. Today, I feel MUCH better but still have some congestion and cough. E is much better too. She kept saying "Mommy, I have the sneezes!!" The babies sounded a little congested on Monday morning, so I went ahead and took them in just to make sure they weren't getting it too. Our pediatrician started them on an antibiotic as a preventative so hopefully they won't get it. So far, so good!

Hopefully we are at the end of all this yuckiness!

Since this is a boring post I'll share some funny things Eden has been saying lately.

*Eden has named most of her babies - here are some of them...
-Squeaky baby - b/c the arms and legs squeak when you move her
-Naked baby - b/c she took all the clothes off of her
-Heidi bug - a little baby she has named after her friend

and this is the best one....this is how our conversation went today:

Me: Hey Eden, what is this babies name (pointing to a particular baby)?
E: That babies name is called about Flower Crap.
Me: What did you say?? (wondering where in the world she heard crap!)
E: Mommy, her name is called about Flower Crap. (This time she is showing me what crabs do with their pinchers. This baby says things when you squeeze it's hand so she named it Flower Crab, but she says Crap.)Haha. There is a flower on it's shirt so I guess that's where flower came from.

*If you ever ask her what time it is she will most likely tell you "It's thirteen-o-four-o-clock!"

*This one is actually from several months ago, but I'm sure she would say the same thing now...

We were eating at a Mexican restaurant & were telling her about all the different foods on our plates:

Me: Eden, do you know what this is (pointing to refried beans)?
E: (In a very loud voice) POO-POO!!!
Me: (after a long laugh) No, sweetie those are beans.
E: (still in a very loud voice) No, that is POO-POO!!

*Since we moved her to a big girl bed, it's really rare that she gets out without calling for us. When she wakes up she always says...i mean yells:
"Mommy, I'm awake!! - Can you hear me - I said I'm awake!!" -she does this until one of us goes and gets her.

*The other morning I went in to get her and the first thing she said was...
"Mommy, I was wonderin' - I'm hungry - can I have some French Toast and milk?"

Every time I talk to my Mom on the phone, she always wants to talk to her too.
I was talking with my Mom the other day, trying to say things so she wouldn't know who I was talking to yet (b/c she begs until she gets to talk if she knows I am talking to GG)...
E: Mommy, who you talk to?
Me: A lady.
E: Oh! What that lady name?
Me: uhhhhhh....Charlotte (my Mom's name)
***Eden makes a real serious face like she is thinking really hard.
E: Is that my friend GG?
Me: uhhhhh
E: Mommy, that's my GG! I want to talk to my GG too Mommy!

*She has a radar like you wouldn't believe. Nothing gets past this girl. We tried to hide her medicine in some ice cream the other day, b/c it's torturous trying to give it to her.

As she is eating her ice cream:

E: Mommy, something hurts my mouth!
Me: Are you OK? Did you bite your lip or something?
E: No.
Nick: Is the ice cream too cold in your mouth?
E: No, the medicine in my mouth! (now panicking!)
Me: It's just ice cream, baby girl. Eat the rest.
E: No I can't, the medicine hurts my mouth.

*This morning I put a cough drop in my mouth. I was sitting on the couch working on a project, and she was sitting next to me playing with her Leap Pad.

E: *sniff, sniff* Mommy, something smells good!
Me: oh really? (knowing exactly what she is smelling)
E: Yes, what you making Mommy - something smells good! (the sniffing continues)
Me: (trying to ignore & change the subject) I don't know - what are you learning over there?
E: *sniff, sniff* Something smells good - I want some!
Me: It's a cough drop.
E: oooooooo - I want a cough drot too!

-I had to go cut a little piece of a pink starburst so she could have a "cough drot" too! lol

And this is where I found her the other day...


She is so smart and keeps me laughing!! :)
