His Turn

A dear sister-like friend is hosting a shower for me and "Birdie" in a few weeks and she insisted I register for gifts. So she and I went to Target one evening, leaving Hot Husband in charge of the Tribe.

We got the little gun to scan stuff with... I had forgotten how fun that part is! Even though I felt like there was nothing "good" to register for at this point. I have all the big "gear" like exersaucers and such. I have friends that are passing other gear pieces on to me (since I've passed on to others after Thing4). But I did scan some essentials like bibs and socks and sippy cups (in PINK!)

Then as we are wrapping things up, I get a text from Hot Husband. He is hot because, well, he's hot. But he's extra hot because he really *can* handle the kids - all of them - on his own and does so willingly with no arm twisting or promises of marital rewards. So receiving a text on my "night out" was surprising. However, the words themselves made me laugh so hard I had to cross my legs there in the aisle and had tears running down my cheeks.

 "Apparently in toddler world, the correct response to the question 'Do you have poopie' is to shove your hand into your diaper and show the person who asked you."

Minutes later I received an adorable picture of Thing4 naked in the tub, smiling his usual mischievious toddler grin. I am sure Hot Husband's text was quickly followed up with the thought "I can't believe we're going to do this again!"
