Recent Paige-isms

Setting: Looking through pictures with Daddy on the computer
Daddy: Who’s this? {pointing to a picture of Grandma and Grandpa’s dog Molly}
Paige: Molly!
Daddy: Who’s this? {pointing to a picture of Grandma and Grandpa’s dog Beau}
Paige: Beau!
Daddy: Who’s this? {pointing to a picture of Norman}
Paige: PUPPY!

Yes, Norman’s name is Puppy and Orko’s name is Kitty. Without fail.


Setting: Grandma is babysitting Paige while Dad is at work and Mom is taking the other kiddos to the vet.
They walk into the bathroom and Grandma points to Paige’s potty and asks “who’s potty is that Paige?”
Paige: Mommy’s!

Um…clearly potty training is a work in progress! (And just to be clear, mommy does NOT use Paige's potty...I don't fit.)

Good vs Bad hair day

For the first time Paige let Mommy style her hair. Adorable!

This is what it looked like a couple hours later...
(To be fair, the "after" shot was taken after a long nap)

The Greatest Show on Earth

Paige experienced her first circus this weekend! Clowns, elephants, tigers, zebras, horses, dogs, acrobatics…it had everything. Even Daddy got called on stage for the first act to play musical chairs with the clowns. Poor Daddy didn’t expect his first chair to collapse underneath him.

Paige had a great time!

Gone to the Dogs

This week has been an interesting one. Paige's grandparents were out of town so we've been watching their dogs, Molly and Beau. Both are very sweet dogs, even though Beau is a bit gender confused and has a crush on Norman.

Paige wasn't so sure of them on Monday, since Beau has quite a bit more energy than Norman and tends to push her to the ground and love on her. So, much of the day was spent carrying her from place to place, anything so her feet didn't touch the ground. Luckily she managed to move all of her toys to the couch, so playtime was not interrupted.

Is there a market for toddler protein drinks?

In true Funkhouser fashion, Paige has learned the advantages of eating enough protein every day. Gotta grow up strong and healthy, right?

I'm sure it doesn't hurt that this protein shake was flavored with strawberries!

Hello Kitty

Paige was absolutely beside herself when Orko decided to curl up on her lap!
