Can you hear it? The proverbial fingers tapping of the 2 or 3 readers that anxiously await the 10 on Tuesday updates. Does it surprise you I'm another day late?
1. So I have a lollipop sitting on the counter and just within a certain 3 year olds vision. I know, I know. Cruel, huh? Well this morning she says to me, "mommy, can I have that lollipop when I take some pictures?" Oh, I have her so trained. Or maybe it's the other way around. Regardless, as soon as the sun decides to come back out, I'm going to start dangling that thing in front of her. I have some hopes of practicing sun flare shots in a field of wildflowers. I just need to find that field. And with my sun flare skills, this may take quite a few lollipops.
2. So this hot mess wants to get her ears pierced.
Oh boy. Not that I have anything against getting girl's ears pierced at 3 1/2, but I guess I'd always assumed we would wait until she was like 12 or something. I think that's when I got mine done. She's been begging and begging to do it. It's been kind of out of the blue, so I have no idea where she is getting it from. The other day she told me that her ears won't be beautiful until she gets them pierced. Way to tug at my heart strings. I thinking she really doesn't know what it means to have them pierced, she just wants to wear earrings. So I'm going to try to find some cute clip ons and see if that will at least pacify her.
2. Little J's favorite word is "poopie". Isn't that cute? Insert sarcasm here. It doesn't help when you have a three year old that laughs like crazy when he says it. That only encourages him more.
3. We had a playdate with little B this past week. I decided it would be a good idea to bring out the paints with a 3 year old and two almost 2 year olds. Of course I only had one plastic smock, so of course that went to little B. I wasn't about to have his mom mad at me.
Meanwhile my kids were practically eating the paint. Just kidding, it wasn't that bad. But I did have to strip them down and change their clothes. I'm sparing you pictures of that mess. It was a good time actually, so I didn't mind the clean-up.
Afterwards, Miss C sat down with them and handed out stickers. They sat like this for about 20 minutes. It was great.
4. Did you ever have your mom tell you, "wait until your brother/sister is older, you're going to be sorry?" I always heard this when my sister and I would gang up on my brother and make him do stupid stuff. When he got older, he was able to fight back (or at least got smart enough not to fall for our BS). Anyway, Miss C has always had an issue sharing with Little J. Usually when I ask her to share, she replies, "well, just 10 more times and then I'll give it to him" or "in 10 minutes". Remember how she loves the number 10? Anyway, this would drive Little J crazy. No patience what so ever. The other day I asked him to share the sippy with Miss C, he replied (with a finger wagging no less) "garble, garble, garble, 10 minutes. In 10 minutes. 10 minutes. 10 minutes." Ha!! Wait until your brother is older, you're going to be sorry. Of course I wanted to say to her, "sucks don't it?" But I just kept my mouth shut and smiled :)
5. Miss C has decided that for her birthday she would like binoculars and a diamond like Daisy (from Mickey Mouse).
6. I took the kids out on a cloudy day and tried to get a little practice in sucky lighting situations. Of course I promised the lollipops and managed to snap these:
It took a lot of coaxing, believe me.
7. I just love the bond between siblings. These two are starting to really have conversations with each other. Little J has become so verbal over the past couple of months and Miss C seems to really understand him. For example, this morning they were both laying on the bathroom floor looking at an ant (why there are ants in the bathroom is another story). They went on for several minutes just talking bath and forth to each other. It was so sweet. That's why I love this pic. It's just the two of them engaged in their own conversation.
8. Little J's birthday is on Saturday. Holy Smokes. I can't believe he is going to be 2. I have no idea what to get him.
9. Miss C is getting so brave. She went down the "dark slide" at school. You know, the tunnel slides. She has never had the urge to go down one before. Now that she's done it, it's all she talks about. She can't wait to go back to school and do it again.
10. I don't have a funny 52 weeks pic. I guess I kind of crapped out on that. Anyway, here is one where everyone is looking and even appears to be happy!
