Dirty Tricks, Child Edition

I bought Bean a set of toy keys earlier this month. They were supposed to make an annoying jangly sound when dropped, and a toot! toot! vroom! business when certain buttons were pushed.

After about five minutes of play, Bean somehow busted it such that it made no noise. At first I thought "Crap. Now I'll have to return it and get another one." Then I realized "Am I NUTS? This thing makes no noise now. It's PERFECT."

Bean still liked the toy, sans-jangle and TOOT TOOT VROOM!

But then, the other day, she mysteriously fixed it. It jangles and TOOT TOOTs again.

TOOT TOOT VROOM TOOT TOOT VROOM TOOT TOOT VROOM TOOT TOOT VROOM TOOT TOOT VROOM TOOT TOOT VROOM TOOT TOOT VROOM TOOT TOOT VROOM TOOT TOOT VROOM TOOT TOOT VROOM TOOT TOOT VROOM!


Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

I taught her a new trick last night... I stuck the end of the key on the palm of my hand, turned it, made it go TOOTTOOTVROOOOM and then I made the same noise, only goofier. Boy, did she laugh!

Grandma's funny.

Funny!
Dax is finally old enough to where I can go 3-Martini-Playdate on him. Nothing but blocks, matchbox cars, and small platic figurines... until his Birthday, anyway - my friends are all evil!

I almost forgot to tell you about our first emergency room visit with Dax.
Yesterday morning, Ryland and I were discussing the possible acitivities for the day when our decision was made. Dax was at his counter eating raisins when I saw his finger in his nose(a common occurence). He had a funny look on his face, though, so I checked, and sure enough, there was a raisin up there! I got the tweezers, but after 2 minutes of Dax screaming and me seeing the raisin get sucked farther and farther out of reach, we got dressed. Luckily, the Doctor's office was open and the Dr. got the raisin out without a problem. Dax got a stern talking to by the Doctor, though!
It was so funny!
