wii wii wii all the way home

Aaron wants the new Nintendo game system, the Wii. Of course, he doesn't say that to people. He says, "I want a Wii." Which has led to many conversations like this:

Aaron: I want a Wii.
Innocent Bystander: What?
Aaron: I want a Wii.
IB: What?
Kate: For the love of god, he wants the new Nintendo game system.

And the Wii is the ONLY thing he wants as a gift. And they all sold out the first day they came out in like one second.

Dylan is really grabbing for things now.

It is cool, but also a little creepy, like if an amoeba suddenly reached out and started grabbing things. It has also led to immediate frustration with not really being able to bend her hands to her will beyond the first grab. As far as I can tell, her will is to stuff large objects into her mouth. It has made playing with toys more fun, though. And by "playing with" I mean "eating." The second I decided toys would be fun, the house was instantly coated in a thin layer of them:
Snuffy also likes the toys. And by "likes" I mean "eats." Actually, he is pretty good about knowing which toys are the baby's and not destroying them. He seems to just want to snuggle them.

Let's hear you roar now, lion.

Jill -- thanks. Although it could be argued that Snuffy has amazing, if manipulative, eyes.

Anon -- Mom, is that you posing as Tommy again? And no, I don't think normal healthy people have amoebas in them.

Sol -- What?
