sometimes a gimme

I actually had a different post planned for this evening. One based on the curry catastrophe that occurred before dinner that left a certain toddler on the floor under a pile of curry and rice and ended with a certain father feeling like a superhero because he cleaned up said toddler and made more curry. But sometimes ... sometimes somebody discovers a bag of swim diapers from last summer and wants to put one on over her pants and when they won't fit, a certain father who may or may not be on his second glass of wine before dinner might think it is a good idea to wear a swim diaper as a hat so he enthusiastically asks, "Hat?" and before mother can register her formal complaint about this decision, the aforementioned toddler is jumping up and down chanting, "Hat! Hat! Hat!" and, well, the results speak for themselves.

"Got it? Okay, excuse me, I have to take this call on my Ice Phone."

"Hello? No, it's fine. No, not a head injury."

"Can I get a minute here? Seriously!"

Wait, those are awesome, but I have one question: do they make them in adult sizes? Cause I wanna be like Yuki and wear one of those.

The toddler size are surprisingly stretchy. The adult sizes are far less cute.

Oh sweet lord. I thought that she had seriously, seriously hurt herself and needed both an Elmo bandage and an ice pack. Thank you for the explanation.

panicky interlude

This is not the promised "Magical Ponies" post. Apologies. Instead, this is the "You Negligent Monster" post. Because Kiddo is in a Japanese daycare, parents are asked to remove their shoes before coming in. No problem. I have a pair of loafers that I hate that I wear on pickup days so I can get in and out more quickly. Most days while I'm putting my shoes on, Yuki will run away from me and I will make noisy protestations and she will giggle and come back. Today, however, there was the running and the noisy protestations and the giggling and a splat. I guess she tripped ("running away" involves going around a corner where I can't see her) because she was crying and pulling herself up off the floor when I got to her. "No big deal" as she likes to say (she does, really, it's friggin' adorable). She had a little red line across the bridge of her nose but there was no blood. She asked for a Band Aid and I told her we'd get her one...
