I guess when you have a little sister that always tries to be like you, it gets to you sometimes!  But this time, she has really gotten to me! 

Tristen’s new thing is that whenever she comes over to our house when the baby is not awake, she just “checks” on him, and then he is magically awake!  Funny thing is that after four months, Micah finally set up our baby monitors, so I know exactly what is going on in the baby’s room. 

This morning, Tristen came over about 45 minutes after putting Scout down for his long morning nap.  Against my wishes, she “checked” on him.  I curiously and anxiously listened by the monitor to hear the door slowly creak open.  Then what she thought were delicate footsteps over to the crib.  A few little taps on the bare back…and then a surprised HUH!  She spotted the monitor and knew she was caught red handed.  She tried to play it off, like she knew I was listening all along and whispered “MAMA” in the monitor so I could hear.  Then I hear Scout’s mobile playing “By The Sea”, as I irritatingly head over to the room.  When I get there, she quickly says, “he was already awake”.   I think NOT, as I see the sweetest little swollen eyes opened about half way.  He looks up at me and then puts his head down again.  Then Tristen says…”Whoops!”

I told her she is his caretaker for the next two hours, and then this is what I found………………..

His dad is going to kill her!  And my mom just says that we will make beautiful girls!

(P.S. - Megan just called and asked what was going on.  We told her the above story, to which she replied, “Funny you mention that.  Last night we were looking through the baby videos, and Lindsey…your kids are dead.  You were the meanest aunt.  You were always making our kids eat gross stuff and when Chloe just started walking, you were yelling…trip her, trip her!”  –Well times have changed Megan, and I am much nicer now!)

(P.S.S. - I told Tristen to clean it all off, and she hesitantly reported that it will all come off in the pool….except maybe the lipstick.  Apparently she couldn’t find a dark enough color in the regular type of listick….so she moved onto the permanent stuff.)  -Don’t worry crowd - I have the remover!
