The Poo-Poo Garden at Cinderella's House

Some funny stories . . .

1) We went to a wedding a couple of weekends ago for a coworker of Tim’s named J. Brown (who also happens to be brown-skinned). Well the kids know her because she babysat and dogsat a couple of times for us. We explained that she was getting married, and her last name would be changed. Ethan then asked sans artifice “will she have pink skin now?” He thought that if her name was changing, she would literally not be “brown” anymore! We also went the reception afterwards, and the kids started to sing “Happy Birthday” because it was a big party :) We changed it to “Happy Wedding Day to you!”

2) I had to go to the doctor last week for some severe abdominal pain (still not sure what caused it), so Tim came home to take care of the kids. He explained to them that Mommy had to go to the doctor. Well the week before, S had seen her surgeon regarding her umbilical hernia, so she said, “the doctor press on her tummy, rub her button [her word for belly button], and she feel better!”

3) S recently called the side yard where our puppies do their business the “poo poo garden”.

4) S is excited about her impending adoption. She says often “I become a Gary, we have a big party.”
I asked her today, “do you want to have the party here at our house?”
She responded “Of course not.”
I then asked, “Where would you like to have it?”
Her reply, “At Cinderella’s, I think.” (maybe this was because Steven Curtis Chapman’s song called Cinderella in the background)
I said “Where is Cinderella’s?”
She thought for a moment and said “At Grammy and PaPa’s, I bet.”
