Thank You Secret Blog Pal

Debbie B. setup a secret blog pal exchange. These are great fun with the secret blog pals supporting each other.

I just want to say thanks to my great SBP who sent a cute card from Shutterfly. When I get back home I'll take a post a picture.

Oh No

Oh No applies in so many ways right now...

Andrei has learned the phrase "Oh No" so whenever unfortunate things happen, he's trying to use the phrase appropriately. Like this morning when my alarm went off. The little guy next to me says "Oh No". I think he knows that this means I'm up and off to get ready for work.

On a side note, since we got the toddler rail for his crib he's fairly good at staying in his room until a reasonable hour. But, this week he (and his dad) have had colds, so he's been up earlier and comes and cuddles in bed before I have to get up (Oh No).

I must say he's quite diligent at using Oh No including when anything looks a little out of place. He'll also use Oh No when he thinks something bad has happened and there's no convincing him that it's okay.

Now for a bullet point update since it's been so long since I've updated the blog:

- Our refrigerator is finally fixed and working after about a month of having no refrigerator. There was a leak in the evaporator line (not sure what this means but it was bad). Luckily it was covered under warranty and we finally have a working fridge.

- Andrei's speech is really taking off. He's using three and four word sentences consistently with his favorite request: Apple Juice Box Please. The funny thing about his please is that it's a really drawn out dramatic please which is saved for those moments when he really, really, really wants something.
