Me: seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, TWENTY!
Pancake: twenty-one . . .

I could write ten cute Pancake quotes a day

This is turning into a kid quote/update blog.

Pancake and Doodle were watching an episode of Curious George, which, admittedly they've seen numerous times, in which George is told to count how many eggs are in the fridge.  There are no eggs and he doesn't know what to write.  As he stands there with the notebook and pencil in his hands Pancake yells, "He should write zero!"

Mr. D and Doodle -- same place, same day.

Pancake's 9-word sentence

This morning Pancake pulled an empty juice box out of the garbage and said, "That's Doodle's apple juice, I want Pancake's apple juice." Even though the kids don't normally have juice boxes, she was so cute asking that I had to go downstairs and get her her own juice box.

Both kids are sick with runny noses and fevers. Doodle stayed home from school today after a 101 fever last night. Pancake's started this afternoon after a three-hour morning nap.
