Sleeping beans = Knitting Mama

This Just Happened to me.

I am sitting here at 9:30pm PST typing up my “List of knitting” and I hear a door shut in the other room. I honestly got a little freaked out because my babies are supposed to be sleeping and my husband is at school till 10pm. I walk into Mae’s room and turn the lights on and she is sitting on her “big girl bed” (which she refuses to sleep in) wearing sunglasses and smelling like chap-stick and says to me “Mom. I need my glubs to sleep.”

So, I put her in her brother’s crib, “glubs” and all and told her to go back to bed.

So this is what is going on in my world today…

My 2 year old is making me dinner in her red wooden pot… with yarn.

TSA DOES allow knitting needles on airplanes. They also allow cross stitching, but no scissors.

How do I know this?
1. I looked it up on their website
2. I just got off a 5 hour flight from Vegas to New York with big metal US10 knitting needles, 2 babies and a husband.

Fun (unrelated) Fact of the day:

TSA does not require that I show identification for my babies. So that means anyone could just pick up any baby and fly with him/her. Isn’t that unsettling?
When I asked them why I don’t need to show ID, the lady said “people don’t typically put bombs in babies”

Unsettling thought # 2…

Knitting and baby feet.

I am slowly working on a dress for my daughter. Having a newborn and a 2 year old really cuts into knitting time. I however, have decided to not mind!

Knitting can wait, newborns are only new for a very short time

She’s 2, and oh, so talented…

Babies + yarn = mess

mess = half of a row pulled out + yarn all over

half of a row pulled out + yarn all over = Bean saying “Ot oh!” + more knitting

Bean saying “Ot oh!” + more knitting = not so upset Mama.

‘Cause I like knitting, and my baby :)
