Like me

Some days my little girls is so sweet. Tonight on the way hone from school, she was putting on her lipstick and had just gooped it on. Tons of red. She looked up at me and said "look mommy, I wanna look like you". So sweet. She let me know that her lips were red like mine and she loved looking like me. Mush Really!?

That's awesome

Maddy and Reagan figured out that our neighbors actually light their fireworks early. They don't wait for the 4th of July. Fine with us. They were both huddled on GeeGee's setee and were leaning into the curtains as they watched and squealed with glee about the boomies and the fireworks.

It was so darn cute to watch. This is the year we planned to take them to see fireworks. I'm super excited do see this for the first time in years through a child's eyes. I love my loves.

Maddy's quote "That's awesome Mommy"! Pointing at the fireworks.

Pouting Maddy

Apparently, when Maddy gets her feelings hurt, she immediately plops down on the floor and sulks. Literally. It's honestly very sad to watch. She just sits and hangs her head and doesn't make a peep. Nothing.

When you try to go over and talk to her, she has no interest in coming out of her funk. It's all in her own time. Not surprising.

Maddy is sick :(

My poor little girl is sick today I think. The school called and said "loose stools" and said to come get her. Of course, there is no fever and no other issues. Interesting.

So I basically came home from work to turn on Dora and watch her play. Fun for me. :) Right now, she's curled up on the couch all tucked into "bed" with her red blankey and her animals.

Cruver me up mommy!

Lovey girl

Maddy is such a lovey girl. She loves to snuggle and kiss. Today, she chose different people (or dogs) at different times and would go over to them and love (lean over an snuggle) on them and then give them a kiss. She's my lovey girl.

Giving daddy a kiss

Tonight, Maddy gave Jim a kiss. It was adorable. He said, "give daddy a kiss Maddy" and she leaned in and put her lips on his. Sooo cute. I love it.

Rough night, sweet morning

Last night, Reagan had yet another melt down before bed time. She seemed to do ok, but as Jim got closer to putting her in bed, she started to cry more and more for me. Eventually he gave up and asked her if she wanted to "sleep next to mama". Hmmm, of course she does.

So they came downstairs to cuddle. At the same time, Madelynn decided she wanted to wake up hungry. Not only that, Reagan was hungry because she didn't eat any dinner. Argh!!! Needless to say, the girls ate and I got frustrated because Reagan would not calm down at all. The crazy fit she had was close to unbearable and neither one of us wanted to deal with it.

She eventually went to sleep on my lap. I tried to watch TV, but was too tired myself and ended up falling asleep sitting up. Ugh. Jim attempted to take her upstairs to her bed, but because she wasn't 100% asleep, she woke up and fought him the whole way up. Nice. She eventually won out (about 3 am). Reagan cried her way into our bed. I was sleeping on the couch. :)

This morning, I woke up with Madelynn. I looked in on Jim and Reagan and they were both fast asleep. They eventually woke up. I was feeding Madelynn when Reagan crawled up on the couch next to me. She leaned over and patted her on the head and said "I love you baby" and just smiled.

Awwww. Totally made up for the evening before.

Flowers

Reagan has been so sweet lately. She's been bringing me flowers every day after school. Apparently she picks them up off the playground and puts them in her bin. She gets so excited to bring them to me - it's so cute.

I keep them most of the time on my dash in the car. She recognizes it too.

Today she brought me a bunch of leaves (flowers). I was just grateful none of it was in the poison oak/ivy families. :)

Back-kak

Today, I picked Reagan up from school and she actually wanted to wear her backpack out of school. She did - and put it on all by herself. How cool!?

I love you, part II

Well, not only does she say "I love you" to me and her daddy, but she now will say back to us "I love you too" when we tell her that we love her. Awwwwwww! Sniff Sniff... she's growing up so fast.

I love you

She started saying "I love you" to us today. Just out of the blue, she just came over to me, put her arms around me and said "Mama I love you". How sweet is that.

Mwaaaaaa

Today I ran out before lunch to grab some things at the store and on the way home I kept hearing a noise. So I tilted the rear-view mirror so I could see the back and I saw Reagan waving her arms about and looking up in the air. I thought at first she was just pointing upward, but when I got a good look, she was kissing her hand and throwing it in the air. She did that over and over again. It was so cute. When she caught me watching her she waved at me. Awwww.

So darn cute

This morning, Reagan was so darn cute. When I woke her up this morning, she sat up and started playing with her little turtle. It's an infant toy attached to her crib, but I've never taken it off because it's our little alarm clock for us. It let's us know when she is "officially awake".

So this morning, she played for a couple minutes before I grabbed her and snuggled. I love her snuggly butt in the morning. After the musical adventure in the crib, she points and makes noise until I take her to her "friends". Her "friends" are a bunch of stuffed animals located on the top of her chest. This morning she wanted to hold Pooh, her lamb and a bear. Every morning it is so different. But I love it. Every once in a while, she'll go through all of them and "kiss" them all before throwing them on the floor.

Guess you have to be there, but I just love it!

Lovey mood today

She woke up in the best mood today. She loved on me this morning, she loved on her "friends" on her dresser - reaching for each one and kissing them and then she loved on the doggies. I can't wait to see how she is after LRS today.

She kissed me

Awwwwwwwwww. I just love her. I picked her up this morning to pull up her pants and she leaned forward, very purposefully, with her lips all puckered up and kissed my nose! Man, she's so squishy.
