Sick or Sweet ?

Probably both but still a fun story... Here's how it goes...

I was standing at the kitchen counter, holding Kate and talking on the phone. As she squawked with disapproval at me for daring to try to be productive during any of her waking moments, she spit out her binki. I looked down only to find it had landed in Charger's water bowl...SICK! I put Kate down on the floor in the living room (still squawking) and turned to retrieve the binki. But there was no binki to be found. "Ewe, Charger!" I turned back to my now very fussy child and discovered Charger had taken the binki out of his bowl and placed it right next to her face! I'd like to think he did it as if to say, "here precious little baby girl who has filled my life with joy, don't worry, I'll get your binki". But most likely he was thinking, "For real? It's bad enough you show up and all the sudden the world revolves around you and I'm suddenly getting yelled at for things I never did before. But now your darn binki is in the one thing I have managed to claim as MINE!? Take your darn binki and shut up!"

Either way I found it both sick and sweet.

Oh ya, I think my vast blogging audience should also know I immediately snatched up the binki by my child's head and replaced it with one that hadn't been contaminated.

I think it's cute. He was trying to take care of her. Good you didn't let her have it though. :-) (Even though Nate says their saliva is totally sanitary.

I can't believe how big Kate is getting. We need to have a play date soon.
