Quick and Dirty

It's been a while- life is (slowly) starting to adjust for the newly expanded Wakley family.
Duke is the sweetest big brother. So far he really seems to love his baby sister and is adjusting well. Let's hope that continues!


Here's a few funny things from the last month:


When kissing baby Lilly's head he commented on her soft hair. I said that Duke had soft hair like that when he was a baby. He looked pensive and ran his hand over his hair a few times. He replied "Kind of like an anemone". Yup.


Several times in the past few weeks Duke would look up from some activity and say, "Where'd Mr. Buz go?" At first I was very confused by this since my dad (Gramps) is the only Buz I know but we certainly don't refer to him as Mr. Buz. I finally remembered to ask my mom and apparently she refers to him as such sometimes when Duke is there. Mystery solved.


There is a new found interest in underpants. Unfortunately this has not translated in any way to an interest in the potty. But apparently putting them on our arms, head and yes, over our diapers, is a fun way to entertain ourselves. While he was playing with them he kept calling them "Pairins". I was trying to explain that they were a pair of underpants and wondering what on earth he was talking about. Then I remembered the failed potty training attempts, when he would wet himself I'd say you need to go put a new "pair on". And they were known as pairins forever more.
