Quite Contrary]
From K:
Setting: This morning, Oliver and I had a cute conversation about opposites. Oliver: "Up is duh opposite of doooowwwn. Yight is duh opposite of daarrrrrk. Good is duh oppoiste of baaaaaad." Etc.
Fast forward to now: Oliver is in his crib for his nap, singing and screaming his head off. "Oh yord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz…. I LOVE strawberries…. Tirty-tree, tirty-four, tirty-five…. If you're happy and you know it stomp your FEET!!!" (loud thumping noises against the wall).
I go into the room. I say: "Oliver, this is quiet time. You don't have to go sleep if you don't want, but you need to be quiet. It's resting time. No singing. No shouting. Be quiet."
He goes quiet, looks at me. Puts his hands over his eyes, as if to prove he will now try to go to sleep. I back out and close the door. As I turn to walk back to the office I hear, shouted at my back:
"THE OPPOSITE OF QUITE IS LOOOOUUUUUUDDDDDDD."

Congrats on Stella. Hope all is going well for mom and baby. I am a little disappointed you don't have pictures up yet. Its been at least an hour. (I figure I am at least that far out on the telephone chain.
I think the next 16 years are going to be fun.
