Zoë standing in the bathroom sink naked from the waist down. She had opened the medicine cabinet and was pointing at the tube of neosporin saying that she needed help with the medicine.
After I took her out of the sink, I told her that she needed to wash her hands. She said she already had soap on them (really!?) and went back downstairs. After a few more minutes I realized that she didn't come downstairs yet, so I went to check on her again. There was water all over the counter.
She was playing with shaving cream earlier in the day. After she was done, I put her in the bath to clean off. When she was sitting in the tub I told her that I thought she was "awesome." She got a shy look on her face and smiled. Then she said that "Vince is a hero." When I asked her why, she said it's because he helps the police.

Grandma's Birthday
I started out organizing to surprise my mom and have cake at our house, along with a few friends and neighbors, to celebrate my mom's 79th birthday. This is her first birthday in her new home in Massachusetts after all! I wanted to give her a fun evening with friends.
To make a long story short, that all got squelched by Vince getting strep throat and me getting roped into working a full day on Sunday and Monday(which I normally don't). Skipping the Sunday party at our house, I thought at least we'd have time for dinner on Monday with the family, but I ended up bogged down at work, too late for the kids to go out for dinner....
So, the next best arrangement happened: My mom and I got to go out to celebrate her birthday, and I invited along my coworker/friend Peggi. The three of us had a great time, and I did not miss having to climb under the table for missing Lego's, nor did I miss little grubby hands sifting through my french fries or knocking over my wine! It was great!
Mike held the fort down at home with all three kids, who were distraught over the fact that they may not be able to sing to Grandma, and God forbid, not eat her cake. We made sure to get home before they went totally bananas. We got home and they jumped on her, getting through the happy birthday song so we could dig in to her cake. Well, Luca was ready to skip the song and get right to the cake.
