Karma....

We recently experienced a little bit of karma in the Goodrich household. I use this word with heavy emphasis, like I was the defendants attorney; allegedly, when I was a child my sister and I flushed a Barbie doll down the toilet. The Barbie doll got lodged somewhere in the toilet causing my Mom and Dad to pull if off and fish out said Barbie doll...then put the toilet back.

Well, I recently got to experience this as a parent. I am guessing due to karma!

Yes, this is our toilet, on the front lawn with the plumber's truck in the background. Teagan and Wyatt got the brilliant idea that their Nemo bath squirty toy needed to "go back to the ocean to be with his family." So they flushed him down the toilet. Very similar to the actual Nemo movie they had just watched. Very sweet of them wasn't it? The only problem: it got lodged in the back of the toilet and the plumber had to take the toilet off, fish out Nemo, and re-seal the toilet back to the bathroom floor. All for the low, low, price of a couple of hundred bucks. Thanks guys.

The irony of it was too: the plumber spent over an hour trying to "free Nemo" and couldn't get him out of the toilet. Luckily when my Mom got here she got Nemo out (due to her prior experience I assume!) within 3 minutes. Great...now she has two on me!!

3 Years Old!!

Whew.


3 Years old. Really?


We have been busy enjoying summer. I am not sure what we are so busy doing - but it seems like as the 4th of July comes and goes that signals the "half way mark" of summer to me - and I feel as if I need to make sure we enjoy summer because it is almost over! Weird right?


The kids had their three year "well baby" check up yesterday and both kids are doing great. The Doctor commented on how advanced their verbal/language abilities are. He also commented on how Wyatt looks like a 4 year old. And of course we are going to have to get Teagan in to see a Dentist soon because of her thumb sucking habit...but I am hopeful it is manageable.


Here are their stats:


Wyatt
34 Lbs = 75%
40 Inches = 90%


Teagan
31 1/2 Lbs = 50%
37 1/2 Inches = 50%
