Okay, so no one but my dad is going to get that reference. So I'll explain.
My all-time favorite TV show is The Dick Van Dyke Show. No matter how many times I watch it, it's still funny. And the actors were so extraordinarily talented. Anyway, the son on the show, Richie (played by Larry Mathews), frequently hid in one of the kitchen cabinets. Rob or Laura would open the door to find him eating a snack or just hanging out.
I keep Tupperware and other plastics in the bottom cabinet in the kitchen (having plastic kept low means nothing will get broken; fragile items are stored up high). Over the last few days Sarah and Natalie have decided that they really like playing in this bottom cabinet. Sarah clears out the salad spinner and few other items, and they both climb in. I guess this is the advantage to their small size; they both fit!
So far, neither has tried to eat a snack in there (although Natalie has been known to take her almond milk), but I'll be on the lookout. (As long as they don't start being as whiny as Richie was. That's really my only complaint about the show; Richie was really an unlikable character at times.)
In other news, I've been giving the girls a dose of elderberry syrup every morning. Apparently the stuff must taste pretty good. I was still sitting at the table sipping coffee this morning and said out loud, as a reminder to myself as much as anything, "Next I'll give you each your elderberry." I hadn't moved yet to even open the refrigerator, but Natalie immediately opened her mouth, ready for the spoon!
