Our day

My baby taking care of her baby:

She's such a good little mommy. (Despite the fact she's stepping on her stomach.) lol

Isn't it funny how I think all mom's of little girls have a house full of naked baby dolls laying aorund.

Today we started out with a visit to Sonic. Hello junior sundaes!! We also went to Old Time Pottery looking for a photo album and some new dishes, but I couldn't find either. I was also hoping to score on some cheap slip covers, but found out they don't even sell slip covers. Bummer.

We headed home for what turned out to be a too-short nap time and were suprised when Derrick came home earlier than I was expecting him. And he made us dinner. I swear sometimes I think I'd starve if he wasn't here to cook for me.

Well, I take that back. There's always lots of frozen stuff I can heat up, right? And I could probably survive for a while off of break and bake chocolate chip cookies. (And I wonder why I can't lose weight).

Here's the quote I loved from today, courteousy of Myles:

Me in response to a "Mommy"?? Yes, baby?

Myles: "I'm not a baby. I'm a big kid. I'm not as big as an adult, I mean I'm still a little kid, but just not a baby kid. I'm a big kid".

Life lessons learned today:

-toothpaste does not come out of a little girl's hair easily

-little girls don't like to have their hair rinsed off under the sink faucet

-playing with a bouncy balls inside can break a Willow Tree Angel before you can say "don't play with that in here".

-Willow Tree Angels are hard to glue back together when they don't break into big pieces.

-comforting a boy that has just broken a Willow Tree Angel after a self imposed time out feels better than being angry.

-bouncy balls are very easy to dispose of, never to return again.

Which, btw, prompts me to my final question. Who thought it was a good idea to give a class full of preschoolers a bouncy ball as a part of a Valentine goody bag? And when did Valentine's Day turn into the next Halloween, anyway? When I was little we may have passed out little valentine's, but we certainly didn't come home with almost as much candy as if we had been trick-or-treating.

And the last life lesson:

Those M&M's bought 1/2 off the day after V-Day make for a hyper mommy and for long blog posts.
