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.

Clearance Puppy

This has been a really crazy weekend. Thursday J got a call from a breeder he had been speaking to 3 or 4 months ago. We were going to go look at a puppy of his (with no real intention of buying) back then, but when we called the breeder said he just sold the last female 2 hours previously. Then on thursday he called to tell J that a buyer backed out last minute and J has first chance at getting her, so Friday we went to see her. She was discounted for us (and b/c she is older now, I think) and much more affordable - and so we brought her home, and her name is Sugar. Sug (shoog) for short. She is very sweet and calm, and listens really well. She is a yellow lab, and for all of you who have read the book or watched the movie - yes, we bought the "clearance puppy"! And actually we stopped at Blockbuster to return some movies and a big Marley & Me poster was in the window and M said :"Is that a picture of Sugar?" - I hope not! Saturday was the last 50 cen...

End of the week

This week has been lots of fun. J's mom, step-dad, sister and nephew all came to stay with us for the week. We've had a lot of fun visiting, playing games, and swimming. I'm so glad they came to visit us, aaallll the way from Idaho! We're lucky they had the time and all came! They are leaving in the morning because his step-dad has to work sunday afternoon! Crazy wonderful people. On another note, tomorrow J and I will have been married 3 years. I can hardly believe it's been three years....absolutely wonderful. I have never made a better decision in my life!
