Full of something, anyway

No pictures.
Daniel was not himself at dinner time so we let him just hang out in the family room while the rest of us ate.
Toward he end of the meal we heard Daniel barf as he made his way to the bathroom.  In retrospect it was obvious this was coming but hindsight, I guess.
Christine was first on the scene by virtue of being at that end of the table but James was intent on being there second. As I was coming around the table I told him twice to stay where he was.
Before I could get to either of them he was at the bathroom then shouting "Ah! Ah!" and started hopping back to the table.
Me:  What happened bud?  Did you step in some barf? 
James: Uh huh. 
Me:  Yeah. Did you hear me telling you to stay at the table? 
James: Uh huh. 
Me:  Maybe you should listen to me next time, eh?  Believe it or not I'm full of good advice. 
James:  But I wanted to see what colour it was!
Kinda tough to argue that. We were going to clean it up before he saw it, after all.

I Miss Monster Sookie

What's a Monster Sookie ?  There's probably two parts to that question. The first being, what's a sookie ?  That's our name for pacifiers or soothers or whathaveyou.  I have no idea where the name came from, but I'm pretty sure I gave it too them when James was in the special care unit just after he was born and it was probably based on the sound he was making with the one the nurses had given him while he was there. So what's a Monster sookie?  That picture over there.  Brenda and Steve bought one for James well before he was old enough to actually use it (it only comes in one size, which is, I think, intended for six-month-olds).  We didn't really get a lot of use out of it until just last year when I was Han Solo for Halloween and James got to be my Li'l Chewbacca co-pilot. Exceptionally adorable. Last summer we brought out the outfits again for the Ottawa Comic Con.  When I was wandering around just as Han Solo I had maybe a half-dozen peopl

Robocallers

We don't get a lot of robocalls anymore thanks to the fact that we're no longer on a POTS line anymore and the blocklist service included in our VoiP package.  One of the few that still show up are "The Duct Cleaning Service".  I assume that's their "doing business as" name since that's how they always identify themselves when they call (from a local number, I may add).  But we don't talk to them.  We don't interact at all except to note the number and ban it from all future incoming attempts. I mention this because I have no  idea how tonight's bit of foolishness came about. After we had finished reading bed-time stories James and Daniel both were horsing around in James' room.  We were letting them burn through their energy and weren't paying that much attention.  Around 8pm I wandered by the room only to see Daniel with James' foot pressed firmly against his ear.  This "foot phone" has been a thing for abou
