"Sicka, sicka!"

Recently the kicking, screaming and wrestling at diaper changes got to be too much for us Yodeling parents and in desperation we stuck some random stickers on the backs of Augie's hands to keep him occupied. It worked so well that we've added giving out stickers to our diaper changing routine and we now try to keep a supply of them in our diaper bag. It's been mixed success, however. August and Rose have gotten so enthusiastic about the stickers that they now kick and wrestle over carrying the packs of stickers with them when they leave the changing table and Augie screams "Sicka!" when he wants one. He's also taken to putting them in his sister's hair as you can see in the picture below. When I took off Rosie's stained shirt after dinner the other day, I discovered a sticker on her chest as well. She doesn't seem to mind though... In the last week August has started talking so much. It's really amazing to hear him add new words everyday and to copy whatever we say to him. He gets "nose" and "no-no" mixed up and says "thank you" whenever he gives something to us, but I'm sure it's just a matter of time 'til he gets it straightened out. Rose gave August a couple of adorable hugs today. We wanted to get a photo for the blog, but before we found the camera the twins toppled over giggling then rolled onto some toys and started screaming. Maybe another day they'll repeat it for the camera.
