Mama the Dentist, Dad the Cereal

Leelee must have learned how to say dentist a while back, because out of the blue yesterday he was in the car and said "Mama is a dentist". He didn't know what dad was so we told him Dad is a surgeon. So we asked him to repeat what Mama was and he said Mama is a dentist again. We asked what dad was and he said "Uh...a Cereal". hehe. Slightly off, but at least the first consonant was the same sound.

I am always amazed at how nice and generous people are. This morning I met Minah and Selynn for a playdate and they gave me a very generous gift, and last week work threw a potluck for me and Heather (another dentist who is also pregnant) with a gift for each of us, which was so nice. Minah and Selynn if you are reading, thank you! (Leelee sends his thanks as well, as he is dreaming of the gallons and gallons of milk he can get! haha)

Christian is becoming a scaredy-cat, or maybe he always was and it's just rearing its head now. He's scared of most things: water, anything new, remote controlled vehicles (we learned that today), sand, grass, the beach, pigs, any animal except for dogs, which he tolerates but does not love. I know the origins...I too was a major scaredy-cat in my early years, so I know it's Bian genes and not Lee genes. (I blame most other traits on Dae.) Dae likes the story of the first time I went skiing at age 5 and refused to get off the chairlift, therefore having to ride it all the way around. How embarrassing. I still remember the fear and I still have bad memories of Anthony Lakes ski resort!

  1. You are welcome! :) I feel so neglectful as a friend for those that had kids before I did. I was clueless about the little things that matter and visiting etiquette!

  2. Oh I know! I was the same way - I'm sure my gifts were pretty embarrassing my first couple of baby showers.
