A Nobel Effort

Therese has learned to get out of her toddler bed this week. We thought the full rail would be effective longer but no. So during her “nap time,” she got out of the her bed. She found the box of tissue and proceeded to take EVERY LAST TISSUE out of the box.

Apparently though, to her credit, Therese tried to stuff them back in! Of course I didn’t see this until I was giving a tour of our house to the mom of one of our friends. And Therese even continue her stuffing job when we went into her room!

Haha! The Lord has such a sense of humor!

He Found Me Out!

Today, Adam found me out! He discovered this mommy’s most effective weapon!

Ever since I could, I have been “encouraging” my husband to help me more and more with Therese. I would say to Therese while Adam was in the room, “Daddy’s going to change your diaper,” or “Daddy will get your milk,” or “Daddy is going to wash your hands,” or “Daddy will get you out of your car seat,” or “Daddy’s going to give you your bath.” I even seated him closer to her so that he can actively be the one helping her at dinner since I get lunch and snacks.

But today something happened. We were sitting at the table having lunch and Therese was acting a bit tired. Adam said, “Mommy’s going to take you up to get your nap.”

What? Did my ears hear correctly!? Did Adam just use my “encouragement”? Oh rats! He found me out!

Clueless Car Salesmen

Alright, I truly don’t understand how used car salesmen sell cars.

We went tonight to a Toyota dealer in town to see if our STUFF (i.e. carseats and stroller) would fit into a Camry or a Scion xB.

So we’re looking for a 2002 Camry. They only had a 2004. I asked, what I thought would be a simple question. “Does the 2004 have the same hiproom as the 2002?” Sellsman: “I don’t know.” I ask, when was the redesign. Sellsman: “I don’t know.” Then I remembered that the redesign came in 2003 with standard ABS. I’m thinking to myself…what DO you know buddy?!!!

Then we went over to see the Scion xB. I like the call it the box. I find it intriguing that a box shape like that would get such great mileage. So I ask the guy, “What’s the drag coeffient?” Sellsman: “I don’t know.”

ARRRGGGGGHHH!!! You would think if you’re trying to sell a car you would know at least some basic spec information. Or why a car would get such good mileage. OH BROTHER!

So, I guess it just means more work on our part…I’ll start compiling the spec list for the different years of the cars we want…

P.S. If anyone has a Civic or a Corolla, do you know if 3 car seats will fit in the back?
