This is M and L's new favorite game to play in the mornings..."She in trouble!"  They get this from Diego or Dora (I think).  There is always someone that is "in trouble" and needs help from their friends.  So, the kids push the cushions off one of our couches, dive down into them, and one pretends she is "in trouble."  The other runs to me and says, "Maddie (or Lena) in trouble.  I go help her!"  And she pulls the one that is in the cushions out- over and over and over again.  All of this while in their undies.  They tell me they want to be "maked."  Since we are still getting over our stomach bugs, colds, ear infections, and sinus infections we haven't left the house much lately.  It is good to see them getting creative.  All we have had to sacrifice for their entertainment is one of our couches.  Never, ever buy a cream colored couch if you have children (I actually purchased it when I lived by myself in Chicago).  We don't mind them playing a little rough on this one since it has already taken such a beating.  I think a leather couch is one of the next items on our home wish list (easy to wipe right off!).

By the way, Maddie is 100% attached to Pooh.  She has always liked him, but now she rarely puts him down.  I let her bring him in the car, but he doesn't usually get past there for my fear of us losing him.  I'm afraid within the next six months or so his head is going to pop off.
