____ the Bear

I give the kids a multi-vitamin every night. It's a store brand chewable variety (compare to Flintstones Complete!), with 19 vitamins and minerals designed to let me feel less guilty about letting them eat junk all day. The kids seem to like them, and they come in four fun animal shapes: Lion, bear, elephant, and monkey. Abbie will eat the elephants, or lions ("Leon," named after a Dora character) if needed. The boys will eat both of those, plus monkeys ("George," named after Curious George).

The problem is nobody will eat the bears. Right now our bottle of 150 vitamins contains about 5 each of monkeys, lions, and elephants, and maybe 30 bears. I've tried giving the bears fun names, but it doesn't work.

"Would you like a Baloo?"
"No."

"Winnie?"
"No."

"Baby Bear?"
"No."

We really need Dora to do an episode with a bear.

Mmm, pretzels

Abbie today observed, "a pretzel is shaped like a poopie." Well, yeah, I guess.

When I Grow Up...

Ian: I want to use the ladies bathroom.
Abbie: No! Not until you're a girl!

Well, Ian has been wearing mommy's shoes around the house recently...
