Juliet has revised the pop goes the Binky game.  This is how the new version goes..

We pop the Binky in her mouth and a couple seconds later she pops it right back out but only just slightly.  Just enough so that it’s right in front of her mouth.

She then plays a game with herself to try and get the Binky back in. 

She tries…

and tries…

and tries…

until finally, EUREKA!  She gets it back in.

Isn’t she awesome!?!

Sound good to you?

1. I love how he loves to cuddle
2. I love how his lips go crooked sometimes
3. I love his wrinkles on his forehead
4. I love his new happy little woo and ooh sound he makes 
5. I love his smile and how often he smiles at us
6. I love his big feet, big hands, and little boy legs
7. I love how he stretches
8. I love his big cheeks
9. I love how he burrows in our arms
10. I love his love of washcloths

1. I love her sounds (squeaks, machine gun sounds, her new goos and gaas, and sometimes she lets out a little cry and it sounds like she’s saing hi!)
2. I love her teeny tiny hands and feet
3. I love her very delicate, feminine movements with her hands and her very indelicate sounds (toots and burps)
4. I love her little round eyes and mouth and nose.  In fact you could draw her face using just circles.
5. I love her spiky hair
6. I love the million and one faces she makes (especially the Godfather face)
7. I love her touchdown move when she’s sleeping soundly and suddenly raises her hands like she’s calling a touchdown
8. I love it when she sleeps in a yoga position
9. I love her slow, feminine blinks
10. I love that sometimes she just needs to know we’re there in order to sleep.  She’ll let out a little squeel and Dan will hold her hand and she’ll fall back asleep.

Juliet is having a tough time going #2.  She went two whole days without doing poops this past weekend.  Dan and I pumped her legs and massaged her belly all day Saturday.  Finally, Sunday morning she worked really hard and got it out.  Poor little peanut.

Chapter 1

One day King Dan and Queen Elizabeth found that their babies, Prince Ryan and Princess Juliet, had magical powers.  Unfortunately, however, the evil goblins wanted to obtain their powers for their own evil deeds.  So the King and Queen stole away one day from the Kingdom of Chestnut to the Land of Gildairia where they could protect their own from harm.  To reach the safety of Gildairia they had to cross the treacherous forest of Lishakill.

As they traveled through the forest of Lishakill, they were mesmerized by the beauty of the trees and the golden shimmer of the leaves which reminded them of golden mountains of Gildairia.  Ryan and Juliet were secreted in slings for their travel across the unfriendly territory.  The King and the Queen kept a keen eye out for the goblin sentries they knew must be near.  As they rounded the bend (its always the bend!!), a goblin came out of its hiding hole to glare at the passerbys.  To the goblin’s excitement, he saw the seemingly defenseless family.  He stepped out into the path to confront the weary travelers.

“Avast ye!” said the goblin, “Move not, for I can have a hundred goblins breathing down your neck ere I count to three!”

The King and Queen were taken aback and were paralyzed by their fear.  Juliet, however, undeterred by the monstrosity blocking their path took a single, solitary slurp from her binky and the goblin was sent soaring into the air only to get caught in a thistle bush on his descent back down.  Hearing the raucous, a hundred more goblins poured from the hiding hole ready for battle.

End of Chapter 1

Chapter 2

The King and Queen stood staring a hundred goblins in the eye, not knowing how they would escape.  Ryan let out a soft, sad cry and at that moment, a flock of birds, a pride of lions, a herd of deer, and a family of grizzlies emerged from the forest.  The flock the birds swooped down and carried away half the goblin horde.  The pride of lions and the grizzlies ate their fair share.  And the deer, well, they cuted the rest to death.

Now that the goblin army had been destroyed, the path to Gildairia lay open.  They trekked on and as they crested the largest hill, the golden spires of Gildairia glistened in the autumn sun and they knew they were safe.

End of Chapter 2

Chapter 3

They lived happily ever after.  The End.  (Ryan is crying.)
