AWESOME!!!

two words: Daddy's Girl

When I was pregnant with Molly, I just felt like I would have another boy.
And I was SO o.k. with that.
When we found out I was having a girl, a DAUGHTER, I was so surprised.
Ken went to my favorite kids' clothing store, and bought an outfit.
From shoes to hat. All accessories included.
I knew, from that second on, she would have him wrapped around her tiny fingers.

And, today, those tiny fingers are pink.
All because of Daddy.

I have a 2 year old who:

- still does not sleep through the night

- loves throwing things in the trash can

- finds incredible joy in using crayons and markers...on surfaces that are not meant for art

- refuses to be wrapped up in a towel after a bath and prefers to drip dry

- loves to eat everything off my plate instead of her own

- screams her head off in the car if she drops something

- gets mad EVERY day when I only give her 2 vitamins and ignores her plea for "more"

- gets irritated when her shows are over and you change the channel....



But, I also have a 2 year old who:

- smiles so big it warms my heart

- loves her older brother so, so much

- can dance (and sing) with great accuracy

- exclaims "yeah, friends!" when we pull up at daycare

- puts her dishes in the sink when she is done eating

- declares things as "awesome"

- tells me "this is fun!"

- loves to "read" books

- can count to 14, because that's how many stairs we count everytime we go up or down

- almost always says "thank you"

- has more wonderful friends than most 2 year olds I know

- names all the people at the table on Sunday dinner at my mom's

- bonds with animals like nobody I have ever seen

- carries her special blankets everywhere we go

- thinks the Small World ride is probably the best thing ever

I have a 2 year old.

And I think she's perfect.

Happy Birthday, baby girl!

just so you know

After school on most days, I usually run up to the office to make a few copies.
Jack usually is content with a book, or his DS, or Spongebob cartoons.
Today, I came back, and he wasn't there.
I didn't panic...because I found this:

And, he was with Gavin...just so you know.

you know you listen to it TOO much when....

Happy New Year! Happy 2 Years!

I started my blog on January 5, 2008.
Looking back, I didn't realize I would become so dedicated to this whole blogging thing.
It's been lots of fun, reading the comments from all of you, and sharing the details that make life at our house crazy, and fun, and wonderful.
I found a cool thing that will "track" who visits my blog...I had a lot from Ohio and California, no surprise there. But, I was shocked to see that I had "hits" from some pretty interesting places (South Africa?)...
In this NEW year, I want to continue the blog AND know who is "out there" reading it.
So, leave a comment, so I can formally "meet" you...
and thanks for reading.
2010...here we come!
