We had a very busy, but wonderful weekend. Dave was hosting a hunt test (a dog thing) in Southern IA so Mama Faye came for the weekend, primarily to help me keep my sanity! As you can imagine, she was a great help and there were 3 slumber parties while she was here. We spent the day in Des Moines Saturday and took in the Covered Bridge Festival on Sunday. The biggest milestone of the weekend was on Sunday morning when Cooper was sucking on mom's knuckle and he bit her. Yes, Cooper has his first tooth. I know 6 months is the average age for babies to get their teeth, but Layla didn't get her first tooth until 14 months. So far, so good, the little man is handling it well.
A funny little political story for you all.......we went to a new bookstore while in Des Moines Saturday and Layla walked right up to a book with Obama on the cover and said, "Look mom, its Barack Obama." Needless to say, I was more than a little floored that this is the second time she's mentioned him to me, but this time she also recognized him. So, what does this conservative, Republican mom do? Marched her right over to a magazine with McCain and Palin on the cover and explained to her that Obama is like the Hawkeyes (University of Iowa), we don't want him to win.
Seriuosly, Dave and I rarely watch TV with the kids and really purpose not to watch the news with them. We record our shows and watch them later. I really thought she was pretty sheltered from this stuff. But, I do have to give kudos to the Obama campaign team. You're doing your job well if even a 3 year old knows your candidate!

did you happen to see The Tim Aaron Band play at the covered bridge festival? That's our worship leader and was playing at that event.
Very funny that Layla recognized Obama. She's an observant little thing. Good analogy with the Hawkeyes! Way to think on your toes.
I feel your pain, Mamma! Zack recognizes both McCain and Obama, but loves to say "Barack Obama" for some reason. We've been working on squashing that quickly ;) In boy terms, it's "McCain is the good guy - Obama is the bad guy!" ;)
