N-A-U-G-H-T-Y

This is actually not a picture of naughty. This picture is Makili wearing Remick's sumo wrestler costume, which made me laugh so hard I let him keep it on. Unfortunately, he thought it was a diaper (it does sort of fit like one) and had a full-on adult sized crap on the rug. And he had a meltdown too because he was so upset about it. Thankfully Raph was home that day and I didn't have to scrub the rug and the kid (just the rug!)

But Makili has been demonstrating naughty lately. Like when he stuck a pretzel nugget in Remick's mouth. Or when he dumped all the ashes from the fire (they're in a box underneath) onto the floor so that he could "dig" with his immense tractor collection. He's been a real pistol lately. He's also taken to calling Raph and I by our first names if we don't answer fast enough. He'll be in his room for nap emphatically yelling, "mom, mom, mom." Then a pause. "Blayne. Blayne. Blayne." It actually makes me laugh. I'll have to remember to write down some more of the naughties, because they are pretty funny retrospectively. (except the crap on the floor. that wasn't so funny.)

Cankles and...?

Remick definitely has some major cankles (no difference between calf and ankles, mom, sine I know you'll ask me later what that means), but Tamara pointed out last night that he doesn't have any knees. They're like little dimples instead. Is there a name for that? Thalves? Any ideas? (Yes, sleep deprivation is contributing to this post.)
