baby egg

As most of you know Miss Gracey Mae is a huge Barney fan, not sure if its because his name ends in an "ey" like the rest of our family or if its because he's big and purple and loves everyone? Anyways she's got this vhs tape of "Barney's Farm" (one that my cousin Laura and I watched back in the day when we were barney fans too..) and on "Barney's Farm" Famer Henderson takes Barney and the kids to meet all kinds of animals on the farm including a chicken egg (baby egg) who eventually hatches into a chick named Henrietta (can you tell that I've seen this movie a few times?). Well, ever since she started watching barney farm she's wanted a baby egg (I'm just glad it was the little egg and not the horse!).

So now and then I give in and let her hold a cold baby egg from the fridge. She cups her little hands around that egg and walks very carefully over to the chair and sits, holds it and talk to it. When farmer Gracey is done holding baby egg, mommy takes the warm baby egg and secretly puts it in the black garbage bag farm...

The other night Casey and I were watching american idol while Gracey and Nelley played on the floor. Grace got up because she wanted juice and went to the fridge like she always does, she messed around with the fridge door and came back into the living room. A while later I asked Gracey to go check on Nelley because she had crawled off into the other room and she was being very quite (first clue). Gracey came back not saying a word, so I proceeded to ask her what Nelley was doing, her face got red and she said "mmm, nothing" and went on playing (second clue). Being lazy I finally got up at commercial to go find the little explorer, went into the kitchen to find Nelley Jae sitting on the floor in front of the fridge with her little chubby finger in the broken baby egg yolk on the floor. :0)

So sorry that your life was so short Henrietta, but Nelley did have alot of fun playing with your splattered remains on the floor!
