Em's been a little sick lately so we had the medicine and vitamin box down on the counter. She had taken some Tylenol earlier. She came up to me after we had gotten home from taking the car to the shop and declared she had just taken her vitamins. I was a little shocked. I first asked her exactly what she took. It was just her normal bear vitamins and fluoride tablet. 
We usually keep the pills way up high and I have never even let the kids watch me open the bottles so they wouldn't figure it out on their own. I asked her how she got them open. She said, "Well, I read on the lid. It says 'To open push down and turn.'" We're so glad she can read, but things have just gotten a little more tricky. They should be called 'Non-Reader Proof caps' not 'Child Proof caps'.
Emmie picked one of our few daffodils and brought it inside. On her own she found a vase. Then she climbed up into the craft closet and found some blue glass rocks and filled the vase with water. I was expecting her to put it in a cup of water at best. This was a very nice surprise. I didn't even know we had the blue glass but it made the flower look great alone in the big vase. She even took out the faded flower and replaced it with a new one a few days later.
The cats usually avoid the kids like the plague but Harvey was desperate for attention. He laid his head on Clay's lap and went to sleep. Clay kept saying, "Hey Mom! Isn't this cute?" "Hey Dad! Isn't this cute?" "Hey Emmie! Isn't this cute?" "Hey Mom! Isn't this cute?" No, I am not repeating myself. He went on and on like this. We were all in the room together so this cuteness was certainly not missed.
Emmie lost her 2ND tooth tonight with a little of Scott's help. It was just laying there sideways and Scott sort of bumped into it with his finger. I noticed Ollie's tooth in the same spot was loose and dangling too. So I yanked it. Another day and they both would have been lost like Em's last one. Emmie has 2 teeth to put under her pillow tonight. Since Ollie doesn't have a pillow she is putting his with hers. For a dog with a deadly puppy bite his teeth sure are tiny. I guess piranha have tiny teeth too. The teeth are next to a dime to show just how teensy weensy they really are.
I wish there was some way to measure how tall Oliver is getting. Oh wait, here we go! Looks like he reaches right level with the door handle.
