Do you know lions marry cheetahs?

Several funny things happened today. At lunch Madeline and I are talking about animals. Madeline told me if she were an animal that she would be a cheetah. Not to be left out, Myah pipes up with, "Do you know that lions marry cheetahs?" Trying to explain which animals marry which to a 3 year old can be difficult. Especially when MJ says, "Well, donkeys marry horses sometimes." At this point I'm just trying to change the subject before someone asks about where babies come from. Later in the day I hear Mason hollering, "Down Please" at the top of his lungs, over and over. So I take of running to the back of the house and there he is - up on the bathroom counter (which I thought the door was closed and it has a child proof safty knob, so I'm not sure who's to blame). I pulled him off and said, "Show mommy how you climbed up", just in case a big sister put him there. Sure enough he shimmied right up from the stool to the counter digging his toes into the cabinet door. Then about five minutes later, I checked on him in his room and he's sitting on the floor, without pants on. I said, "Where's your jeans?" (He hates jeans, I just didn't know he could get them off). He said, "All done!" I guess he's done with pants. Might be hard for him later in life. =) Then to top it off, I'm listing to Madeline chatter as she's painting a very colorful pic of a unicorn and a rainbow. She's going on and on about it then she suddenly says, "and I'll meet you around the corner at unicorn.com". Very cute! It's been a great day....
