Echo got a music player for her birthday and has been listening to it constantly. One of my proudest moments as a father was when Echo realized what great music AC/DC has contributed to society and asked me "Dad can you put 'TNT' on my iPod?". It is great to have offspring who appreciate the classics.

Echo was driving up to Idaho with Beau after having lunch with my sister Erica. Erica had broken her foot and had a boot and crutches and Echo couldn't stop looking at it. While in the car Echo put baby wipes on her own foot and said:"Dad, pretend that I broke my foot and that I have a cast. And then pretend that Aunt Erica died and I got her stick."(meaning her crutch)

So tonight I had my stethoscope out and Echo was getting ready for bed. She comes up and says "Can I listen to your heart?" "Yeah if I can lay on the couch." So she walks up with the stethoscope in her ears and begins her exam. (She was in the process of put her PJ's on so at this stage she is just in her underwear) "Dad I'm a naked doctor but that's okay". She then proceeds to listen to my chest and says "Dad you don't have boobs only a chest." "Dad take a deep breath..........good job!" Then while still listening to my heart she says " Okay open your mouth." Then as if she was just about to tell me I had terminal cancer she says "Oh man. There is something wrong in your mouth, there is something like a food in your teeth!" Then she smiles, looks me in the eyes and says "your heart sounds really good." After which she took off the stethoscope and says "Can I watch Yo Gabba Gabba now?"

Echo was going potty yesterday and found herself at the end of the toilet paper roll. Not only did she think that the roll needed to be replaced but also the holder (the plastic post that the toilet paper roll hangs on). So she grabbed a tampon and put it through the center of the toilet paper roll and tried to hang it. I walked in as she was assembling her invention and trying to fix it on the holder. She looked at me and frustratedly told me that it was broken.
