Adventures in eating

Below, we have a short video of Toddler Jeneric's latest gustatory pleasure. Can you guess what she's eating?

Licensed!

Over the weekend, the Wily Jeneric family was luck enough to snag a copy of Mario Kart for the Wii. Jenni loves racing games - guess it runs in the family.

Toddler Jeneric raced for a good half hour, turning the wheel/remote in every direction possible. She came in 12th! (out of 12, with a race time of, well, thirty minutes.)

And just for fun:

Do note the Hello Kitty Uno cards and the vest that is many sizes too small.

Just say No!

Toddler Jeneric appeared to reach another milestone a few nights back, sleeping in her new toddler bed.

Dad and Grandpa built the bed last week - with Toddler Jeneric's supervision. After her nap, we flipped the crib mattress into the bed and she hasn't looked back. Toddler Jeneric tucked her doll into bed for a quick nap (complete with two animal friends) as we went to dinner.

As bedtime approached, we asked Toddler Jeneric where she wanted to sleep - bed! she said. We read a story on her bed. We tucked her in. The thunderstorm began. We wondered if that would frighten her - and make her ask for the crib. She made not a peep. Not one noise through crashes and flashes.

Wow, we thought. How did we get so lucky?

We didn't get lucky. We'd forgotten the wee rash Toddler Jeneric's been sporting and the wee teaspon of Benadryl we gave her right before bed.

So there you go - the Wily Jeneric family secret of transitioning a toddler from a crib to a bed: drugs.

Psst!

Still here, still breathing. Jenni is cruising into the third trimester and we're trying not to panic what with Baby Wily's room still being an office/bedroom, Toddler Jeneric wondering why there's a baby in her tummy and two cats who are still not pleased at the constant tea parties and are even less thrilled about dress-up.

Pictures soon. Maybe some videos. If you're good and eat all your dinner.
