Baby Emma Blog

In keeping with a promise to myself, I’ve decided that the only way to keep an account of the first few weeks of Emma’s birth is to blog it with daily discourse and late night meanderings!

Go For Gold!

Okay, Emma is now doing this half growling half yelling thing, as if she's possessed. She'll do it for minutes at a time, as if she's holding a conversation with Beelzebub about the weather in Gehenna or something! They start so young...!

Lill and the girls are really into the Olympics in Athens at the moment. I don't mind a few events, but thank goodness for PayTV! The poor twins have this thing at the moment in which they think their daddy can do everything! They were watching the gymnastics, and Sarah and Jessica start yelling, "Daddy! Daddy! Come here!" When I get there, they're both pointing at the TV yelling, "Look daddy! That's you, daddy! My daddy can do that! Can you do that now!!!", and Lill would be chuckling to herself, saying, "Yeah, I'll get the video camera!". Me, I'm just staring at the screen, thinking to myself, the last time I was that flexible, Madonna was a Material Girl!!! And to think, one day they'll look upon me as an embarrassing old fuddy duddy!

So, can somebody again remind me why I had children....!!??

ODD SPOT: Contrary to popular belief, if you swallow chewing gum it does not stay in the gut. Usually it will pass-through the system and is excreted without incident. However, several cases have been reported where the gum has stuck in the rectum, causing the unfortunate Sufferer to excrete long sticky trails of gum, like a pink spider's web.

P.S: Unfortunately, I have too much imagination not to picture this....
