1. Éiden has been calling me "man" for the past two weeks, as in "Hey, man," "Okay, man," and "What's up, man?" Tonight he started calling me "babes."
2. This afternoon, after lunch, the boys forgot to ask for dessert and didn't remember until this evening. When I told them I wasn't going to give them dessert (we have a "no sweets before bed" policy to help them get to sleep), Arie, in outrage, said, "If you don't give us dessert, I'm going to write your name down saying that you took dessert away from us!" "Go ahead," said. So after reading them their stories, I found this note stuck to our door underneath a flashing light, in case anyone might not notice it otherwise: "Daddy -- unacceptable" and underneath that, he drew a triangle with an exclamation mark in the center, like an error message on a computer. Under that triangle, he wrote, "see back." On the other side, it said, "you took away dessert!"
