Here are the Mallory funnies of today:
- In the car on the way home from school, I was yawning. From the backseat Mallory asked “you tired, Mommy?”
- Rog is here working again today. Mallory asked where he went. I said he went upstairs. Then I asked her what was upstairs (expecting her to answer “(new) wall” or “mommy’s bed” or something). But instead she said “Wog!”, with a tone that said “mom – you are such a dumb-$$ – you just told me Rog was upstairs so why are you asking me what is upstairs??”
- The girls were super cute when we left daycare today – lots of hugs. Alli even asked for a kiss and got one from Mallory. And then I think Alli told Mallory that she loved her.
- After we read her bedtime books, I asked for a kiss. She said “EYE” and gave me a kiss on each eye, and then my nose, and then my cheeks, and then my ears and then my forehead. I asked if Arlo got a kiss goodnight – she lifted up my shirt and gave my tummy five kisses in different spots. So sweet.
- We were talking about her being a big sister to Arlo and if she was going to help give the baby a bottle and a bath and change the diapers. She said yes to all of those things. And then she said “PWAY!” (play). And she assured me that she would share her toys too.
- We are hoping to go to the Wings game next Friday when they play the Blue Jackets. We’ll hopefully get two free tickets to the game but want to take Mallory but she only gets in free if she is under two. So we’re trying to teach her to say “one” when asked how old she is. Not sure how this is going to work because she is trying her hardest to get two fingers up to be the accompaniment to the “TWO!” answer she normally gives when asked how old she is.

Tonight was night three in a row of easy bedtime for Mallory. Not sure what the trick was but I’ll take it. Tonight she told me she didn’t want to read in bed so I said that was fine but that she had to stay in bed. I just went to check on her and she must have just fallen over from where she was sitting when I left her because her head is at the wrong end of the bed (so she didn’t fall asleep with her head under the aquarium soother, etc).
