It’s been really rainy here lately! On the news the other night, they said this is the most rain for the month of May EVER on record for Utah. And apparently, the ski resorts will be open through the 4th of July! I haven’t minded the rain because we haven’t had to water our yard at all, and it’s so green & lush now.
These two little friends don’t mind the rain, either. Gotta love the non-boring outfits!
Charlotte adores her little friend that we watch once a week. Charlotte even uses this friend’s name in songs and as an adjective for things she likes.
An update on little miss piggy bank. She has passed the penny! Charlotte had her shots scheduled for yesterday so after her shots Charlotte got her first x-ray ever. Joy told me she wasn’t scared at all but instead asked the x-ray tech if she liked her sandals. Two hours later Joy poked around Charlotte’s logs and found a hard metal item. We are SO glad this experience is over. And Charlotte is now a big advocate for not eating money. I also made the mistake one last time of calling her my little piggy bank, she quickly said “no daddy, I’m Charlotte!”
Being the amazing husband I am, I was watching the kids while Joy went to some relief society thing. While having a great time putting the kids to bed I found a penny in Charlotte’s bed. So I put it on her night stand and said good night to them both. I went into our room across the hall. I enjoyed listening to them laugh with each other and then for me to say “sssshhh”. After a while they were being more quiet. Then all of a sudden Chase the vigil lookout and defender that he is started screaming “Charlotte is choking! Charlotte is choking!!” This freaked me out quite a bit as I jumped up. I found Charlotte gagging but luckily still breathing. So frantically I asked what she had eaten. She said in a very small princess voice “money”. I chuckled and took her to the bathroom to stick my finger down her throat and see if I could find anything in her mouth. It was too late. She swallowed the penny. They both got a very stern reminder about only food going in their mouths. I figured Joy would freak out when she came home, but she just laughed and said Gino used to eat money all the time. We are still waiting for confirmation that the penny has passed. Charlotte doesn’t like her new nickname of Piggy Bank.
