Funny Moments in Parenting Donut

Over the weekend Donut was saying the following

"my grandma's name is Pat" and "my halmoni's name is Ruth"  and constantly addressing me by my first name and not Mommy (super annoying)
Forrest started to teach her the names of her grandparents because she was saying things like "my grandma's name is hamoni" which basically means my grandma's name is grandma.

But I asked her what daddy's name was and she replies "Forrest"
I then ask her what grandpa's name is and she replies "Pat"

I correct her and say "Grandpa's name is Forrest"

She pauses..then says "Oh!  There's two of them."

I think that must have blown her little Donut mind.

Blue frosting mayhem

I still really think flying is cool...

There is something just really amazing about it...even with all the flying i do, it doesn't ever seem ordinary and at JFK airport this week I caught a glimpse of all the planes lined up outside and I really just felt like a little kid again - amazed to go on the airplane. There is just something about it.

What?

The question is...what the hell is happening in the bathroom that we even NEED a sign like this? Never mind that this is posted in a corporate bathroom!!! Not a random bathroom in a park or something. Our corporate bathroom in our New York office...in a secure building!
Gross - just gross! Aren't we all adults here?

Found this on my desk...

After being in meetings all day. At first I was appalled then I realized what it was and found it hilarious.

As the belly grows...

22 weeks and Nacho is really starting to make his presence known :)

She is on to my game...

It's funny to watch your kid grow up and become more aware of their surroundings and situations.  You think as the adult and parent that you can shield them from things and expose them to the world on your timeline.  But a recent event gave me good laugh and reset my expectations that this kid already knows what's going on and far be it from me to pull the wool over her eyes.

I was serving Donut some cake butt* but without any frosting because I had used it all to actually frost the cake

Me:        Donut do you want some cake?
Donut:   Yes please cake!
Me:        Here you go.
Donut:   What's this?  I want some frosting please.
Me:       That's vanilla cake.  I'm sorry honey but I don't have any more frosting.

Donut gives me a perplexed look and throws the cake that she has in her hand onto the plate and says "That's not cake mommy, that's just bread."

LOL people...LOL

* Cake butt:  The dome shaped top of the cake tha tyou cut off when leveling the cake layers so you can stack multiple layers of a cake together.

Dinner with my gal :)

Now that we got extra chairs for Donut's table...sometimes we sit down together for a little meal. I am proud of Donut's overall eating habits as she has a pretty wide range of tastes. Below we are both enjoying some polenta and beef lentil soup :) man she is growing up so fast
