a fairy for every job

bayli mentions fairies at least once a day. how do you say...obsessed? more than a bit.

so after a visit to the potty (i can only imagine what she thinks about during those personal moments) this is the conversation she brought up:

bayli: "mom, is there a poop fairy?"

(moment of shock and personal thought. "oh was she talking to me, did she really say what i thought she said?")

me: "ummm...i don't know, what do you think?" (now fighting back giggles).

bayli: "well are there? i think that there are."

me: "what do they do?"

bayli:(moment of intense eye squinting and gazing off) "well, they help you go poop. and, they probably clean up poop too."


i am glad she walked out of the room after that.
who knew? there is a job for every fairy. everyone needs a little daily dose of the poop fairy.

i wonder what the poop fairy looks like?
what kind of super fairy symbol does she wear?
instead of a wand, does she pack around a pooper scooper?

i guess to be more politically correct we shouldn't give this special fairy the title of "poop fairy". maybe sanitation specialist fairy. gastrointestinal fairy. proctology fairy. defecation fairy. the bm fairy.
i am sure a boy would come up with something more like little $#@% fairy.
in the antics of kramer off seinfeld, the ass fairy (pardon the language).

cast your vote.

dear autumn, i look forward to...

what's better than sailing?

lounging?

walking in sand?

nah, no comparison!!!

well, maybe a little beach fun...just maybe.

we had a ton of fun at starvation reservoir for the atherley family vacation. bayli got braver on the catamaran. chase was able to take short rides and have a little fun on the boat. he mostly liked running down the beach and playing in the sand. it was a fun getaway with yummy food.

and those of a future sailor...
