Valuable Life Lesson

You learn a lot from your kids. Hazel taught me a good life lesson this weekend, which I will now impart to you:

When living with a 3 year old, one can no longer assume the water cup that sits on the bathroom sink doesn't have liquid soap in it.

When I recovered from my gagging, retching, and coughing, we had a conversation that went like this:

ME: Did you put soap in this cup?!
HAZEL: Yes.
ME: Hazel, I just drank that!

Hazel looked at me for a moment, confused. Then,

HAZEL: Why did you do that?

October happenings...

Hey, everybody! (Mom...) Thought I'd throw some more pictures/videos on the blog. Lots of interesting things going on here. Elise is looking for an Orthotics residency, my job is winding down, and in general all is well. If anyone was wondering which costume Hazel decided on for Halloween, here you go! 

We also went on a fun mountain hike last weekend. Hazel walked for most of it, but demanded to be carried most of the way back down.

Allan Piper was in town this week, representing his fun documentary "Married and Counting." He and Alec got along pretty well.

And finally, Alec has gotten more "conversational" lately. I managed to catch some of it as we were getting out of the car.
