While preparing for a visit from baby Natalie this week, Lucie and Ryan took some time trying out their old play mat. Ryan had to make sure all the screws were secure, while Lucie tried her best to fit her entire body on the mat (a pretty tough task). It's hard to believe that two short years ago, they both fit with plenty of room to wiggle and kick.Speaking of growing up quick, here's a funny story about Lucie. Brushing teeth is always an adventure (or should I say chore?) for Ryan and Lucie. They absolutely hate it and can't understand why their two seconds of sucking toothpaste off the brush isn't enough cleaning.
Chris and I make up little games as we brush their teeth — sometimes using silly voices, others pretending there's something fun to be found in the back of their mouth. Last night I joked with Lucie, "Hey, who's in the back of your mouth? Do I see Elmo? Or is it Duckie?" Usually she giggles and plays along. This time she was fed up. "Just get it out!", she cried, "I wanna read my lyberry book!" There's no fooling this girl.

Thanks for posting the current pic versus the baby year. What fun to see them grow. I can't believe how fast it goes.
The story about Lucie having had enough of playing games and wanting to get to her library book made me howl. I've shared it with it with several people--too precious!
And I'm glad that Ryan made sure the playmat was secure and ready for another baby.
And yes, wow, what a difference two years makes!
