Oh noodles.

Oh noodles.
"Edee" and "Chicken" are nicknames for my two little rascals. The names originated from how my daughter would pronounce both her own and little brother's name when she first started talking. They've stuck. Chicken may live to regret that someday....

Wake up

Chicken usually comes into our bed some time in the wee morning hours.  I usually wake up to his jabbering and grabbing onto my ears.  This morning, as he was waking up:

Chicken:  I wan a teese 'tick (cheese stick)......
(to the tune of "Once There was a snowman) : One dere wa' a 'nowman, 'nowman, 'nowman...one dere wa a 'nowman, 'nowman, 'nowman.  An it wa' eno-mous, eno-mous, enomous; an it wa' eno-mous, e-nomous, enomous (enormous).....
Hi, mommy budder-fy (butterfly).  I baby budder-fy.  Where are my wings?

Never a dull moment with these kids--even waking up evokes a story to tell.
