Baby Hazards

My wife recounted to me all of the hazards that she saved Thalia from today:
Laura: My goal is to keep her alive until she's two!
Sophia: (graciously) No, don't kill the baby.

Our toddling baby is fine. It's us parents I'm worried about...

The Fortress of Solitude, a.k.a. Daddy Bear Cage

Thalia wouldn't go into her playpen tonight without a big fuss.
This way I get my work done, and she's happy playing around the perimeter.
It's genius!

A Second Opinion

Me: Thalia, I think we'll skip bath this morning.
Thalia: (projectile vomits)
(Opinion duly noted. Nice timing, kiddo. This one is going to be a comedian.)

*The Woodchip

Impressions of baby sister at 2 months:

Me: What do you think about your baby sister?
4yr: She's great and she's cute. She looks like a chubby hamster, and she looks like a wood chip, too.
Me: She looks like a wood chip?
4yr: Yep. 
Me: Why does she look like a wood chip?
4yr: Because she's cute like a wood chip.
Me: A wood chip? Huh. Oh, like a chipmunk.
4yr: Yeah.
