Snuggles

Maddy has gotten into the phase of needing someone to sleep with her. She is really struggling to go to sleep and needs that extra little comfort at night. She just gives me that look of "mommy I need you" and I crawl right in bed beside her. I can't help it. I know I shouldn't, but man she is so cute and she won't be in this phase or age very long. I definitely take advantage of as many snuggle moments as I can.

You ate me?

When Missy told the girls she was pregnant, she had to do a little explaining about the fact that she had a baby in her belly. Reagan caught on pretty easily and asked some curious questions.  But Maddy was confused a bit. She belted out, "you ate your baby?" and seemed to be really upset about the whole thing.

She tried to explain that all babies have mothers. Reagan did not agree. And that they all grew inside a mommy's belly. When she let her know that she was, at one time, in my belly, she got even more upset - "did mommy eat ME?"

Oh wow.

Carson having seizures again

Well Carson had some more seizures. Six to be exact in the last 24 hours. It started at 4am Thursday morning and went until 4am Friday. The last three were between 11pm and 4am. Ugh. Poor thing.

Farting?

Maddy and Jim in the bathroom. She farted and giggled. Jim said "what was that?" She said "a fart... do you want me to do it again?" with a big grin. He said "yes" :) And she did. :)

Bug bite gone bad

Maddy started complaining Sunday night after the recital about an area on her leg. She had apparently gotten a pretty nasty bug bite right below her bootie on her right leg. It was swollen, pulsing and just ugly. Poor thing. It hurt pretty bad too.

Dance Recital rehearsals tonights

Tonight was a busy night for us. Both of the girls had dress rehearsal tonight after work.  Maddy had to be in one place - Reagan had to be in another. I took Maddy because this is her first year and her first recital. I wanted to watch the experience like I did with Reagan.

We got to the high school auditorium early so we could get dressed and get pictures done too. Maddy was so excited to get into her costume, she was almost impatient. Once I got her hat on, I about lost it. She was a frog. The head piece was a hat covering her whole head with two humongous eyes on them. Way too cute.  I just couldn't get enough of her. It was perfect for her personality too. Frog. Bouncy alive and just goofy.

When she got onto stage, she was dancing her little heart out. I loved watching her. Such a proud moment when she was up there. As soon as she was done dancing, she seemed ready to go. She watned to get home.

First Day of Camp

Well, the first day of camp was a big one. Both girls went to Silverlake and had a great day. They met new people and found new things to do. They both loved their day. Mom picked up Reagan and took her to dance. I picked up Maddy. When I saw them both, they were non-stop chatting about their wonderful time at camp. Both were super excited about going back the next day.

My mom, however, had a different evening. She fell down on the path next to her home and broke her hip. This happened literally as I got home. It was perfect timing too. Missy had gotten to our house early and I was able to take off as her neighbor called me.  Long story short, she broke her hip - clean break. We won't know until tomorrow how bad it really is.

When I got home, I kissed both of my angels and told them I loved them. Even though they are asleep, I know they heard me. :)
