"I'm Stuck!"

Ayvri's decided bedtime is playtime but this one back-fired on her. I know, what kind of mother walks in on this and spends 2 minutes saying, "It's ok, Daddy's getting the camera" instead of just freeing her? But it WAS funny. Her mattress is on the floor and she wedged her way between it and the footboard of the bed. It was a good moment for me because she distinctly repeated after me the words, "I'm stuck" . . . the clearest thing she's said in a long time which proves that she CAN talk when the situation requires it. She was a very good sport about it though and this is as serious as it got (I didn't leave her there long enough to get upset). It probably helped that Ksenya thought it was VERY funny and will probaby try to help her do it again soon! It's a good thing we have tough kids.

Sorry, that is about the cutest/funniest thing I have seen forever! This little girl looks just like her mom did when she was that age. Had to take a double take just to make sure I was seeing what I thought I was seeing. You have some adorable little ones Toni. Thanks for making my day.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Who wouldn't walk in and just laugh!? We've debated putting a mattress on the floor for Ava too so little brother can have the crib. But I'm not that brave yet!

That is so funny! How could you not take a picture of that! I just read your "Pickle Negotiations". Ayvri is your third child, isn't she? Devin (my 3rd) had the same problem. He was a late talker because he had so many ear infections. We also discovered it was because he has two older brothers and a lot of competiton. They are always talking, so Devin just chose not to talk. We had to do the same things with him, and now he is talking fine. Sometimes I have to ask for an interpretation from his brothers, but it is all good! Now, onto my fourth child...he has even more competition, but he just uses that as an excuse to exercise his lungs. He is a very vocal little man! So fun! Anyway, sorry for the long comment. Oh, and in the piano picture you don't even look pregnant!
