Teiya and Casey like to play a game at bedtime. After crawling around the bed for a while, Teiya gets up on her knees and Casey says, “Fall over, Teiya.” She hesitates for a second, beams a smiles, then keels over sideways or backwards.
Last night, Casey spent part of the night in the top bunk of his bed for the first time. He slept restlessly, so I went to check on him. As I stood there in the dark, he sat up and said, “Why don’t we have another baby if there are still more eggs?” I don’t know where he could have gotten this idea, except that Paul has been reading The Enormous Egg (a book in which a triceratops hatches from a chicken egg) to Casey at bedtime.
