Today, while we were in the pool, Makenna burped and before I even had a chance to tell her to say excuse me, she said "sues me, bip" (Excuse me, burp). I just started laughing. I praised her for saying excuse me. I guess some things do start to sink in after telling her over and over every day to say excuse me. Of course at lunch time she was trying to force out burps. At what age do kids typically start learning how to burp? I know it's a natural occurrence but when do they learn they can "force" more out? It seems kind of early to me.
Right now, she's on the floor playing toys with daddy. They're playing with a puzzle and having fun. It's so cute to watch them play together. He's trying to teach her colors and shapes and numbers with this one clock puzzle we got from her Great Aunt Lori for Christmas last year.
Other than that, it was a Costco day. Spent about 145 pounds (so close to $300!). Hopefully we'll be set for a while. Although we were just there two weeks ago, maybe 3. Makenna enjoyed running away from us in the store. That was another bonding time with daddy as he had to chase after her.
Another thing I wanted to mention that I've noticed is that it seems like news reporters over here need more training. They struggle to find new questions to ask. For instance, today while I was at the gym watching the news about the fire in the Euro Tunnel, they kept asking an "official" the same questions but just a little different. The official had basically repeated everything he said three times within a 8 minute period. One guy asked him, what the status of things were and the official replied that they have about 50-60 fireman in the tunnel at a time rotating as it's hard with all the equipment they have to carry in, etc. Then how they'll have to assess the damage and see when it can re-open and how it started. Then another reporter asked about the fireman to which the official replied how they have 50-60 men rotating, etc., etc. Then another guy asked about what the next steps will be. The official started talking about assessing the damage...and on and on. You get the picture. It was ridiculous! I was done working out otherwise it could've gone on endlessly. Before this news story ,they had a story on for 20 minutes or more about a holiday/leisure company going under. I can only imagine the questions that made the interview go that long (I chose not to listen at that time). Plus, as they were interviewing, they were doing it in the wind and you couldn't really hear the reporters questions very clearly as the wind was whipping over the mic and they weren't really talking into the mics to ask the question. Oh, then another guy started to give answers to the questions and they still kept the camera on the first guy. So here's some guy off camera, who you can't see talking away, again, giving the same answers. About two minutes later, they figured, "hey, I guess we should show this guy who's talking." Wow, pretty bad.
I guess the bad news about all of this is that we'll have to see if the Euro Tunnel opens up soon so that we can take our trip back to France again.
