This week my Princess really LOVES her dolls.She wants them to go on walks, in the car, in the shopping cart - everywhere she goes. I have to buckle her in the shopping cart together.Yesterday the dolly helped us with our animal puzzle a few times ('cause you know kids always want to do things over and over an over...). She carries the bigger one around in a "wrap" I made from my scarf. She even feeds them!When she wanted diapers on both of them last night I realized that I needed some more doll … [Read more...]
Talk to Jesus
So today was a hectic Labor Day. I am preparing for a consignment sale at the end of this month so I am went through bin after bin of the Princess' old clothes. Categorizing them by size I then combed through them and set aside ones that were worthy of consignment. Once I registered to consign, I then made tags for each outfit, books, VHS tapes, or blankets. I safety pinned these items, hung them on hangers, or put them in gallon sized ziploc baggies.Did I do this easily with a toddler in the … [Read more...]
Ten Things I Can Do With One Hand
Ten things I can now do with only one hand: (While holding a toddler, of course.) In no particular order of importance: 1. Type up a new blog post . (See what I do for you all?All 10 of you or so.) 2. Upload and edit 50+ pictures from my digital camera (which I still don't know how to use.) 3. Flip blueberry banana whole wheat pancakes (hubby's wonderful recipe, they are super yummy). 4. Use the bathroom, pull up and zip pants. (TMI, but this one is pretty hard.) 5. Read a book. (That … [Read more...]
Itchy Hands
Well the last few days my Princess has been scratching her hands. Either she will rub them together or she will actually use one hand to scratch the other. It started with her right hand and now it has moved to her left hand. They are a little red right now (not too much), and not too dry. She scratches more during her sleep and right when she wakes up. I have been just hoping rather naively that it would just go away. I don't know what it is and I don't feel like having to go through it. … [Read more...]
Playtime
So, while recovering from outpatient surgery, my family really stepped up and took care of Isabella. For a couple days, they had her most of the day. When she got home Saturday evening after being away from me for 7 whole hours, I gave her a BIG hug. And you know what she did? She pushed me away! I missed her so much, and all she wanted to do was get down and play! Well... I guess I can't wish for a break and then miss her like crazy at the same time can I? (But isn't that what motherhood is all … [Read more...]
Sunday Not So Funnies
At shower time last night I was pulling my contacts out of my eyes and putting on a shower cap when I heard a splashing sound behind me. My naked Princess was smiling as she was smacking the stepping stool where she had just peed. She thought it was funny to see the "wawa" splatter everywhere. Gross!?! Mommy did NOT think it was funny at all. At least it was not poo poo. … [Read more...]
Gratituesday Top Ten
I will mix the two memes today and talk about the top ten things that I think Isabella is grateful for.#1. Mommy - of course I must be number one. She L.O.V.E.S me. That is the best feeling in the world. Some days it can be hard though, when I just want her to go to daddy.#2. Breastfeeding - she used to sign more when she wanted to eat. She will now yell Mom or hit her own little chest. She is 17 months and still loves to breastfeed. This week since all the family left, she has been wanting to … [Read more...]
