Yesterday Josh and Matt made me crack up. I hope I do justice to this story because it's such a "You had to be there" moment.

Matt loves to roughhouse with his daddy. But yesterday when I had to get up and do something, I interrupted the play when I handed Millie off to Josh. So the rough house turned from Josh and Matt playing around, to Matt and Millie playing.

Josh and Matt had been play-fighting. Josh told Matt that Millie fights dirty and then proceeded to show him what he meant. Matt had his hands up and Josh told Matt that Millie had something on her hand. Matt moved in to check it out and Millie (with Josh's help) delicately punched Matt in the nose. Matt reeled away from them laughing, but totally shocked. Josh said to Matt, "See? I told you she fights dirty." Then Josh told Matt that Millie had something on her foot. You guessed it, as soon as Matt came in to inspect it, he got kicked in the face. Matt was just as shocked as he was the first time this happened. Finally, Josh asked Matt if he heard Millie rumble and asked him to sniff Millie's bum and see if she needed a diaper change. Sure enough: bum in the face attack by Millie. Matt AGAIN reeled away laughing and in shock. It was as if he couldn't tell that Josh was controlling Millie's actions and Matt was surprised that his little sister would fight so dirty.

Yeah, that was a "You had to be there" moment. Oh well.

Two other Matt moments...at his doctor's appointment last week, the doctor asked Matt about his older sisters. Matt said that his sisters are Emma and Abby. Then he said, "Abby is annoying." Guess what word is used a lot at our house.

Moment number two. Tonight I went into Matt's room to help him get ready for bed and I asked him if he got his room clean. He said, "I can't clean it well because of all of Abby's cwap!" Then he took Abby's doll and stroller to her room and said to her, "Abby, keep your cwap out of my woom!" Guess what other word is used too much at our house.

Here's the kicker...if those two kids can't keep their rooms clean, they're going to share a room when Millie's ready for her crib. That way the mess is contained into one area. I can see the future blog posts now..."So, today Abby and Matt buried themselves in all their toys, clothes, and cwap..."
