We had a little play date yesterday. Nina, who's 16 months old, visited. She was very polite, and smiled at me lots, but stayed close to her mommy. She offered Miss Squeaky a piece of Chex cereal, which, Miss S took, looked at, and tossed aside. We parental units talked about child development stages, and such. Then, Nina, who had been very good at walking around, tripped on one of the many toys and smacked her lip into her mommy's shin. She cried loudly. Mr. Grunty & Miss Squeaky were a bit perplexed, "I thought only we did that."
One thing that makes them both cry, loudly, is if they see a bottle when they are starting to get hungry and starting to get a bit fussy. Last night they did. Because we foolishly left a couple of bottles sitting out. Oh they were screaming. I tried to explain the bottles they saw weren't any good, and new ones were on the way.
(And they are kinda like Thimbletack getting honey when we finally give them the bottles. NOTE: NEVER give babies honey.)
And speaking of spoiled milk...
(I'll finish the story tomorrow.)
