Happy belated Valentines!

Conveniently (for valentines day and all) M has recently discovered...and practiced...that she can make the I love You sign with her hands. It's really great because she's really enthusiastic and excited about it. Spontaneously she walks by with the sign held out and announces "I LOVE YOU, MOM!" and it's great.


M got 3 things for Valentines Day. One was a gigantic pink and red catepillar (which she adores), two was a heart balloon with tweety on it, and three is displayed in this picture - guess what it was-
okay...it's kinda hard to tell in this picture, but we got her ears pierced! and she is soooo stinkin proud. We've talked about doing it a couple of times, but I though she was too little, plus I totally didn't want to hurt her. She kept telling me she wanted her own though, and so on V day J and I asked her if she wanted her ears pierced, and she said yes. Now, I know 2 year olds can't really make decisions like that, but she in general knew what she was getting into. I told her, multiple times "M, It will hurt to get your ears pierced. It will be owies." and very seriously she looked back and J and I and said "I know. It be owies, but I need to." - so. we did.

She is so grown up! My daughter was four and I wished I had done it earlier just so she wouldn't be taking them out all of the time! So much easier to take care of them too when they are younger.

Stranger Danger

Ok. So, we've talked to M about strangers a bit, telling her to be safe and what not. A couple of times she brings it up when we say no she can't do something and she says "because there are stangers?" or some such. We haven't talked about it recently, but apparently the message stuck: We were at Wal-Mart, had just finised checking out and J went to use the restroom and M wanted to get a drink from the water fountain -I was still a few steps behind, so M said "Mom will you come a little bit closer?" and I said yes, and she continued "because you wouldn't want a stranger to grab me." I smiled and said "No I wouldn't like that." And she said "You would say 'oh no! someone has taken my child!" At which point I couldn't help but laugh and tell her how much I loved her.

Caught Bare Bottomed.

Yesterday I went to retrieve my kids from playing in the backyard with the neighbors....When I round the corner I behold my 5 year old daughter with her shorts baring her bottom to the 6 year old neighbor boy. Me:  M!  E!  It is time to go home. now! M:  E did it too! (while sheepishly pulling her shorts back up and E snaps his head around to look at me with big eyes and "O" mouth) WHY?

Veggie Tales

so, because i'm lazy and am terrible at getting up in the mornings M and my morning routine is not the best, but it works for us. I get up when I hear her yell "mooom. daaaad. mooom. blah blah goober gibber." I get her out of bed, and still sleeping I go to the kitchen grab cereal or left over pancakes, or multi-grain bar for breakfast, put M in her highchair or more often just on the floor with a bowl and instantly she says "tales" and I turn on the one of our veggie tales movies and lay on the couch until my brain is working. well...just the other day it was the same routine, but when the movie ended I watched M disappear around the back of the couch and in a few seconds I see her hand reach up and grab the remote of the back of the couch, walks back around, hands me the remote and says "tales" and looks expextantly at the t.v. It was soooo funny and adorable. sometimes lately she comes up to me and says "remote?" and then "I dunn...
