Welcome Baby Jesus

Kiran has been taking things to the trash for us but only under close supervision because we keep the trashcan cornered off so she can't you know play in it. Whenever we have a dirty diaper (yeah we totally get her to take her own dirty diapers to the trash!) or a piece of paper that needs to be thrown away, we head to the trash can where an adult moves the stool that is blocking it. Kiran meticulously puts the trash in her right hand, opens the lid with her left hand, places the trash in the can and closes the lid.

Today for the first time, Kiran went to the trash can all by herself and tried to furiously push something in the already full trash can. Unfortunately, it was the Welcome Baby Jesus book we've been reading at bedtime.

This is wrong on so many levels.

First of all, is she jealous that we've been reading and talking about another baby? This does not bode well for Baby Grant when he/she arrives in July. I hope she doesn't try to shove him or her in the trashcan.

Second of all, its a book about JESUS. Really Kiran? You couldn't have chosen Yum! Yum! I'm Ready to Eat! or The Belly Button Book. Oh no- she's trashing the Jesus book.

Y'all pray for my daughter.

Baby Grant?

Maybe she's upset because the book shows the wisemen at the stable, when really Kiran knows that the Bible says they didn't show up for another year or so. She's trying to throw the heresy out, clearly.

I want to know about the Baby Grant thing as well.

Kiran, don't throw Jesus in the trash can.

Well I don't know about the Baby Grant thing and I"m curious...
Maybe Kiran thinks the trashcan is something cool... I mean she gets to throw things in it like a "big girl"... so maybe she thinks the trashcan is cool... so if that's the case, then it isn't a bad thing that she picked the Jesus book - it means she thinks it's cool! :)

I heart Baby Grant. What I really love is that we call your baby,"Baby Grant". It's hilarious!

I'm tempted to explain why, but since it's your blog, I guess you can.

I got it!! I know who Baby Grant is now. Shew, I need a vacation!

No matter what you really name the baby, Auntie LP might still refer to him/her as Grant from time to time.
