Stop It!

Anyone who knows us, knows that Travis and I have pretty different senses of humor. In his opinion, the more you repeat something, the funnier it gets, where as my philosophy is the more you repeat it, the less funny and more annoying it gets. We have been interested to see which way Brianna might lean but I think we found out today. Here's what happened...

Since Bree is understanding what we're saying more and more, if she hears us mention a kind of food she likes or a destination she likes, she'll immediately insist on eating the food or leaving for the destination. So, we have started using that old parenting trick, spelling things out to each other. Well, Trav was talking to me today about going out to do a certain activity and spelled it out. Then he thought it would be funny to spell everything he said and was talking completely i-n s-t-r-i-n-g-s o-f l-e-t-t-e-r-s. This continued for a little while until I couldn't stand it anymore and I said "Would you please knock it off?" Quick as a lightning flash and before he could say anything Brianna turned around to face him and said "Stop it! Stop it Daddy!" and bonked him on the head with the book that was in her hand. We couldn't help it, it was so unexpected, we laughed, even Trav..... Then we had to have a serious talk about not hitting Daddy.
