New Tricks

I like to have a little freshly-washed sock with my morning cup of water. How about you?

Dialog:
Charles and Iain read Moo, Baa, LaLaLa. They learn that a cow says "Moo" and a sheep says "Baa" and three singing pigs do not say "LaLaLa." At the end of the book,

Charles: "It's quiet now, what do you say?"
Iain: "MOO!"

In other news, Iain has decided that breakfast requires two drinks. He demands both milk and juice first thing in the morning, then carries both around with him. Just now, he walked over, one sippy-cup cradled in each armpit, and picked up the laptop base. He carried it over to Charles, plopped the thing on his lap, and demanded "LALA!" In other words: hook up the laptop, Dad, and let's watch some more Chitty Chitty Bang-Bang. Right now. NOW!

Finally, let me just reassure you (I know you were worried) that Iain is back on the Side Of Beef Food Regimen. Yesterday, he ate:

Breakfast: one whole slice of toast with butter and bluberry jam (thanks, Dr. G!), two scrambled eggs, a bowl of vanilla yogurt with mango on top, milk and juice.
Snack: about one third of a piece of Charles' toast, plus juice and water
Lunch: noodles, bacon, and a kiwi. Milk.
Snack: a Sesame Street themed fruit bar (like a Nutri-Grain bar), milk.
Dinner: a grilled-cheese sandwich and a bowl of vanilla yogurt with mango, banana and grape pieces. Milk.

Whew!
