Put A Sock In It!
I just had to document this story so I wouldn't forget it. The other day, I was lying on my stomach, propped up on my elbows, building something with blocks. Petunia was sitting next to me playing. I started singing songs while continuing to build my masterpiece out of blocks. I noticed Petunia getting closer to me, but figured it was so she could destroy what I was building (a particularly enjoyable pasttime for her). But the next thing I know, she's stuffing one of her little socks in my mouth!
It surprised me so much that I couldn't react for a full second. Then I just lost it. I was laughing like a mad woman. Petunia thought the whole thing was hilarious and started laughing and clapping her hands. It was just one of those moments that you hope to remember always, but you know eventually you won't because of all the other moments that are yet to come. Motherhood is great!
So, if you've ever wondered where the expression, "Oh, just put a sock in it" came from, now you know.


Giving her Erica a little (very open mouth) kiss.
