I think Scarlett must've seen how much attention the Octomom is getting from national and local media...
Yesterday, for the better part of 2 hours, the miniature version of Nadya Suleman took over our house. Ok, So there were 5 babies-not 8. Scarlett can't quite count that high. But those 5 babies were very demanding-not only did Nadya Jr. take great care in lining those babies up for sleep, she also got into her diaper rash cream and covered each one of them. Let's just say those dolls won't get a red butt rash anytime soon. Then came out the lotion. Then, she donned the rubber gloves (which her daddy STILL wears to change her when things get messy), and diapered them, so we pitched in to help. Oh wait...babies need clothes, right? There goes the neatly organized drawers. Soon enough, all 5 dolls were drowning in Scarlett's toddler sized shirts, pants, and dresses. Even the boy doll. As I sat and watched (and stepped in to help when needed)...I actually thought to myself, "is it time to put these babies to bed?". Is that sad? I'm counting the minutes when Oct-TOT-mom put her dolls to bed. I couldn't handle 5 FAKE babies...so God Bless the REAL Nadya...hope she's cut out for what lies ahead.
Anyway, Little Mommy finally found enough bottles (so one was a ketchup bottle, whatever!) to feed all of them, cover them up and 'shuush' them to sleep. It was precious. And exhausting. And wouldn't you know, those damn dolls were awake in 30 seconds?
Does she want to come take care of Stella for a while?

I love babies when they are precious and little, but toddlers are so much fun. They are watching and learning and then doing all these funny things to crack you up. Most of the time it's so funny because you can't believe they are having such a big thought process. I wonder why we sell them short sometimes. The oct-tot-mom. I love that nickname. That might be one that sticks, kinda like woman of 1000 voices.
Today Jackson told me that Frosty was made out of milk. He called him Frosty the Milk Snowman.
