Lauren's Birthday & Random Fun
Lauren's 5th Birthday Party on the ice. It was FREEZING! I think her birthday fell on the coldest day of the year, seriously. In fact, the cupcakes I brought to the rink, we ate at our house instead.
Little video of her birthday at the end of this post.
Some randomness. There was a jackhammer across the street that the girls wanted to see so Daddy put them on the counter...or window seal. Anna thought it was a funny sound at first, then her laughter slowly turned into cries. There is a pretty cute video of it but I need to edit it first. Rissie's jammies are stuffed with a couple of her baby dolls. Our friends cleaned out their attic and brought over this darling little rocking horse for the girls. It's been a hit! And as you see Anna nearly naked...that has been happening far too often lately. I think she is understanding the concept of "clean and dry", so has taken to removing her diaper as well. A couple of nights ago we heard some yelling from Anna after we'd put them all to bed and were shocked to find her completely naked standing up in her crib. Haha.
My friend introduced me to this darling zoo/discovery zone. We took the girls there last week and they had a GREAT time to say the least. I am definitely considering getting a family pass. This is their son Austin whom Lauren volunteered last night that she wants to marry.
This is one of their favorite passtimes, and Anna tried out her new sticker book.
I went to a baby shower on Saturday and came home to the girls playing with Daddy. We've had a lot of COLD and rain but not a lot of snow worthy of playing. So I am thrilled that Jon took them out after this last snowfall. It's more work to get them all dressed...
and undressed than is worth it to me with my last month of carrying Kade.
Where does it hurt?
3/14/05 Lauren's cough continues, and after her heartbreaking cries of, "I don't like my cough." I asked her where it hurt, thinking it could be either her throat or her chest. She said, "Right here." Then mouth wide open she pointed to her throat with her entire hand in her mouth and her finger at the back until she gagged.
2/19/08 This morning, we are eating breakfast when J interrupts the brief silence with a small basement burp. Without missing a beat, Lauren says, "What do you say, Daddy?" He excuses himself, then still in her motherly tone adds, "We don't fart at the table do we?"
Junk Food
9/16/08 Yesterday Lauren learned the difference between junk food and healthy food. So this morning, when she saw Rissie with a piece of candy, she said, "Mom, can I please have some junk food?"
2/9/08 Today Lauren asked me to redo her hair because it was "falling off!"
Cookie Dough
L: (in her sweetest voice) "Mom, can I have some cookie dough please?"
M: "Sure."
L: "Well," pause, "do you think you can get it from the fridge so I can like it?"
4/20/2008 So Lauren got some gum (not a fan) for being a good girl. Later, Jon asked her if she had swallowed it. She said, "No." Then he asked if she threw it away. She said, "No." So he asked her where it was, she told him it was in her throat.
L. and R. have been singing and dancing to their new piano that plays fun tunes. L. has been learning them and singing them around the house. A few days ago I overheard her sining, "Mary had a little sheep, little sheep, little sheep,...
Finding the Moon
Lauren shouts, "Grandma, there is the moon!" She started singing Twinkle Little Star, but in the mean time we had turned the corner and she soon discovered it was gone. So she tells Grandma, "We need to find another moon." 01/13/08
Kids are the best source of laughter
- I was getting dressed and L happened to be there and as I reached for my br_ she asked, "Mom, you put your b__bs on?"12/07
- R had gotten in trouble for something, then after some reflection L said matter of factly, "Well, she's learning."12/07
- L just told Jon to look at her stomach then lifted her arm, pulled down her sleeve, and showed him her armpit.12/07
