Well, there's never a dull moment in the Berger household. Todd was out of town a few weeks ago and the smoke detector decided to "malfunction" at 2:30 in the morning. It scared me to death because we have only been in our house since April and I had no idea if it was the smoke alarm or carbon monoxide detector. I ran upstairs as fast as I could and grabbed both kids out of their beds like supermom. I threw them in the car and called 911. They were both crying and scared because they were tired and had no idea what was happening. Collin got so excited when he saw the firetruck pull up. He kept yelling "firetruck, firetruck!" He thinks firemen are way cooler than Santa. Long story short, the fire chief told me that the smoke detector's batteries were good, but that it just malfunctioned for whatever reason. I was like, "Are you serious? I just yanked my sleeping kids out of bed for this?" I do have to say that being in that situation and not knowing what was happening, I was so thankful that I had my two babies in the car with me. I could have cared less about any material thing left in that house.
Collin has been busy role playing these days. He loves to pretend that he is"going to work," or "going to the store." He is so darn cute too! The other day is was playing and told me he was going to the store. I said, "Ok, call me later." His response was, "No, I call you mommy." I just love it! They say the cutest things! His vocabulary is so great! He surprises me everyday with all of the things that he says.
Lily is five months old now. Her little personality is so sweet and passive. She just loves to eat, but is that any surprise when she has Collin as a brother? We started her on rice cereal this month. She does pretty well with it. We will probably start her on baby food next month. She has started letting more people hold her now. She was going through a "mommy only stage" for a while.
Todd and I just got back from Cancun on Sunday for Jenny (Todd's sister) and Charlie's wedding. We left the little munchkins with my parents and are so appreciative that they were able to come and help out. The kids really enjoyed it. I think Lily has Nana wrapped around her finger because Nana said she did not like to be put down at all. I think Lily knows how to get what she wants already! Collin was good for the most part. Nana and Papa did get to witness some of the temper tantrums that Collin has been throwing lately. I think Collin should win an Academy Award for some of his acting abilities.
