CRAZY day...

Whew! Today was CRAZY to say the least... the morning started off w/ Grace in my room at the crack of DAWN! My one day to sleep in - and Eva was sleeping but it was Grace who was up wanting donuts. Of course I had told Matt lets start cutting back on donuts, I don't want to end up the size of a house! So I was wishing I had a donut to give her in exchange for a few zzzzzz's. But instead I begged her to watch cartoons while I tried to focus enough to get up. She helped me wake up by randomly kicking me - unintentionally but kicking me none-the-less. So off we went for some breakfast.

Mid morning Grace was dancing around in Poppy's sitting area when she comes out crying saying she hurt her foot... I asked her how & she said, "on Poppy's cutter...". Poppy said she was dancing, swinging & kicking, when she kicked her foot out, clipping the coffee table - OUCH! Grace on the other hand is CERTAIN it wasn't the coffee table, but instead one of Poppy's decorative swords that he had out cleaning. I'm sort of thinking if it was the sword she might be missing a foot - but hey perception is huge! So like 50 Band-Aids later & a ton of tears she settled down.

Then apparently Eva took that has her cue to take center stage... Every time I got Eva to sleep & laid her down, littery 5 minutes later she would wake up SCREAMING. I even tried to let her just cry some thinking, she's so tired she HAS to go to sleep soon - but no, she didn't. So in I would go to get her, at that point Grace has crashed & is sleeping through Eva screaming. Eva sees me, stops screaming - hands me her blankie & then raises her arms to say "lets go!" Every time, same routine - hands me the blankie then looks for a lift out of the crib. I think she's got my number - errr! Its hard to b/c she's so da-gon cute!

When she doesn't like something, she either starts screeching, or if she's debating things - she'll scrunch her face up giving you "her look" - very similar to what Uncle Rick calls the "bunny face".

Oh & I guess I should note in the mist of all of this, Eva did take a few steps - VERY small steps, but still steps... she was hoping to get the phone. I'm certain she could start walking if she would just quit being so stubborn. Although when she does start walking we're going to have to look out she's going to be EVERYWHERE!
