My funny husband

I was flipping through the notebook we kept when the babies were born tracking how often/how long the twins ate, how many times what they ate came out, and in what form, etc., and I kept coming across little notes I wrote to myself, some of which were humorous things Zachariah had said. Here are a few of them, not all baby-related:

Jan 18: During Nuala's foray into suppository-land because she didn't really know how to poop.
Zac: (Sighing resignedly) Awww, man...
Me: What?
Zac: It's just kinda gross that I'm so used to sticking my finger in butts now...

Feb 02: Looking at my Knifty Knitter looms, circular looms of varying sizes to make hats...
Zac: Man, that's for a huge head!
Me: It's the size I made yours on.
Zac: Oh.

Feb 6th: Very wintry day...looking for our cats, Finnegan and Mushi

Zac: That's a lot of snow out there! Poor Finnegan...he's not a snow leopard!

Just the other day: During a diaper change, Bran was getting very grabby "down there"
Zac: (in a pained voice) No! Ow! Stop!
Me: (looking over, confused) What's he doing?
Zac: He's grabbing his (we all know what goes here) really hard! Buddy, stop it! (To me) He doesn't know what he's doing!
*I will add that Bran didn't seem phased in the least, but Zachariah was horrified -- almost in tears.

And, this isn't anything he said, but the twins love, LOVE, to look at Zachariah and then quite obviously move their little eyes up to stare at his hair. I am convinced it is because of their "Daddy Rattle." If Zac were a circular hunk of wood, rather than a plain old hunk, this would be him!

Keep your head up Zac, you could post funny things about Fiona if you were keeping an hour by hour account. But of course, you would be kind and not publish them. You two can see what your parents suffered through when you were that age. Love to you all,
Grandad

Well I must say that getting used to doing suppositories are not andrews specialty so fiona be thankful that zac was so willing to do them. I also must say that I rather miss those kind of poopy diapers they are less stinky and dont stick to there bums like glue!
