Hi sleep! Nice to see you again!

Lisa has been sleeping through the night for 3 days in a row. With sleeping through the night I mean from 12.00 to 7.30. So we can close our eyes again at night. Bliss.

I probably jinxed it now, right?

So I really can't use sleep deprivation as an excuse for my uberly dumb action the day before yesterday.

I (including toddler and stroller) walked into a street sign for getting a free eye test in front of an contact lenses/ glasses store.

Go ahead, laugh.

Does this mean I failed the eye test?

Tim's eyes aren't any better. He has a case of the maximus colorblindness, type blue.

The test: point at any object, any color and ask Tim "What color is this.." and he will answer "blue".

Always.

Anyways. Let's test YOUR eyes.

Look at the picture below and guess my age.

Early 20 something? I'm flattered, no.
Early 30's? Nope.

No, look again. Try to find mister Duplo Postman and mister Duplo Constructor.

Obviously, the correct answer is 12!

But give me some slack. How many adventures can the postman and the constructor be on in Duplo Ville without getting all Brokeback Duplo?

ha! that's fabulous.

Posted by: Leah at February 21, 2008 2:30 PM

I think they positioned the sign that way on purpose.

Oh man, I am totally cracking up at that photo. Especially the look from Tim you are getting! He's all "And *I* am supposed to be the juvenile one here.."

Hahaha! They remind me of Arkie Mama's Barbie and GI Joe pics!

Nadine recommends

Did you know your baby or young toddler can "speak" to you even when (s)he hasn't learned the ability to speak yet? I found out through the blog of Chris that sign language is a GREAT way to enable your young child to communicate with you.

Our 12 month old little Roo knows a few signs already "done" (with eating), "more" (food or drink) and "book/ reading". It was a great succes with our toddler Monkey (now 3, doesn't stop talking but stopped using signs) and we already have so much fun with Roo.

We used this book:

But there are more tools that help you
