Fat Lip

We had our first bloody nose today. One going up the slide, one coming down...Maryn's nose (and lip) lost the battle. Thankfully the pain was short lived; after 5 minutes we had our happy Maryn again!

Another thing we have experienced this week...something I hoped we'd somehow missed...kids thinking it's fun to take their diapers off. We had one poop/playroom room incident I can't too soon forget! Thank God for a good carpet cleaner and a heavy duty vacuum.

I read somewhere that the average 20 month old should know between 20-50 words. I'm not sure if that's true, but it got me thinking. How many words do the girls know?
I started a list after dinner, it is by no means exhaustive, but it is a start.
I thought the girls might be interested to know how smart they were at 21 months ;)
