One thing about my life right now is that I can count on getting at least one good laugh each day just by hanging out with my little girls. If you ever feel down and just need a good laugh- come hang out with us for a few hours and you are bound to get at least one good laugh! Mckayla is at an age where she is becoming more and more aware of things and starting to think about things more critically- but still thinks like a 4 year old, so things that come out of her mouth at times can be very amusing. She is very literal- so if James says "I've got to run" when he has finished lunch and is headed back to work...Mckayla will tell him to drive, NOT run there. We, at times, call her "Captain Literal." Izzy, on the other hand, is learning more and more words and trying to say more things. One thing that constantly gets James and I laughing is her new way of saying "please". She used to say "peee" while doing the sign for it. But now she is attempting more but it comes out as "peeeeeboppppp" complete with spitting at the end! James discovered she is saying it like that because she is trying to say the "s" sound but for her right now it comes out as sounding like she is spitting! She is also being real funny right now- she has a thing for Mckayla's baby doll (which is very similar to a couple of Izzy's ones) and will try to grab it whenever she gets the chance. She knows she is not supposed to take it but it just seems that because she knows she is not supposed to - it just makes her want it even more. If you have kids, you know how that is. The more a child knows they are not supposed to do something, the more they are tempted to!
This morning we had our MOPs (mom's group at church) meeting. The girls enjoy themselves in their classes and I enjoy chatting with the other mom's. Today we had a speaker on Body Image. The speaker was the daughter of a mentor mom in our group. Mentor mom's are mother who do not have little one's in the 0-5 age range anymore but they have experience in mothering children of that age and want to share their knowledge and wisdom with newer moms. Well it was the daughter of a mentor mom who had been the mentor mom at my table two different years. She was a great speaker and we all seemed to really enjoy it and had some good discussions at our tables afterwards.
Anyway now its rest/nap time and Izzy is down and Mckayla is resting in her room. So now its time for some "Me time" for this mommy! I am going to go paint a little shelf for Izzy's room and then perhaps do some more in Isabelle's baby book that did not yet get completed.
