Little L, C, and I were snuggled deep into the couch going through an impressive stack of board books.
“Judy can pat the bunny, now you pat the bunny!” I read for the fourth time when C put her hand on my arm.
“Mama? Can you pause please?”
“Pause? What do you mean, pause?”
“Can you pause the book? I’ll be right back.”
I’m thinking maybe we need to cut back on the Tivo…

After the truly painful sleepless night two days ago I caved at 6:30 and pulled Little L into bed with me for some sleepy cuddles. Nearly catatonic with exhaustion I settled myself back into my pillow, shut my eyes, and let one rip.
Little L sat up, pulled out her pacifier, looked at me with wide blue eyes, and asked “Wah da?” in a shocked and awed tone.
“That, was a toot. A bit loud toot.” I mumbled as I pulled her back down into my arms.
“Oh. Heh. Heh.” She answered with a big silly grin. “Founy.” Because clearly, there’s no such thing as being too young for potty humor.
can you pause please????? your blogging…..so maybe you can get some break???? Ok no pause for you….your readers would miss you way to much!!!!!!!
LOL I love it!!
ROFL!!! That’s great!
You might be able to take the blame away from the Tivo as I may be partially responsible for the pause comment. I often will say that I am pausing the story if I need to stop reading to talk to other children or some other classroom task!
Heh – we say “pause” for pretty much any activity too but since I worked at Tivo for almost 5 years I am sort of proud that it made its way into our daily vocabulary – and yours too! 🙂
