What you watching on your TV?

This morning I was taking Eva to the doctor for walk-in's (her little bottom is all broken out...) Matt was taking Grace to pre-school, we were driving side by side, when I see Grace's window go down... so I drove right next to her. Grace yells over, "What you watching on your TV?" I said, "Eva's watching the SMURFs." So then - this is the movie she's watched the last 30 times she's been in the car, she says, "let me see!" So I had to speed up:-)

You calling a police man??

Grace was so funny, I shouldn't say funny b/c it started out w/ Eva getting hurt... Grace was playing in Eva's pack-n-play in the living room when she tossed a chunky set of toy keys out. The keys of course hit Eva in the head, she immediately started crying - it had to hurt (her poor noggin gets more whacks and knocks). I told Grace that wasn't nice - she said w/out looking at either of us, "I said I was sorry". I said, "That's it. T I M E - O U T!" So Grace is sitting on the couch, I went to call Matt - to complain, I mean her poor Eva is cutting teeth, her bottom hurts from the rash, the last thing she needed was to be whacked on the head by a huge set of keys. As I'm talking to Matt, Grace interrupts and says, "Mom, Mom - who you talking to? You calling a police man??" I couldn't keep a straight face, it was too funny! I wanted to tell her YES, but I couldn't fib to her...

Oh boy, what will the future hold...

Oh my gosh, I'm almost afraid to look into the crystal ball and see what the future holds. My cute, sweet, 4 year old announced tonight, "Mommy, I want to get my nose pierced - like the girl at the Apple Orchard w/ the crazy hair...." Oh goodness, 4 year old's shouldn't be saying that! I had to call Matt (he was over at the house) and tell him... after I told him Grace said, "he said - yes?" I was like no.... actually he said, "Never in a million years!" But considering she wasn't crazy about my simple no, I doubt she would have liked my answer any better.

The thought of her cute little nose with an earring in it makes my stomach hurt!!!!

Ella's birthday party...

This afternoon we went to Ella's 3rd birthday party... Grace bounded up the yard and was inside making herself at home before I could bat an eye! Eva hung on to me, she tried playing with the big kids when she could but they were so fast she had a hard time keeping up, especially with all the people. Not to mention she was tired, not much of a nap, the party started at 3:00 p.m.

It was so cute and sad though, b/c there was a 10 month old baby girl at the party, and Eva's not used to seeing too many "little people" - and this little person, was nearly the same size as she is! So the little girl kept animatedly talking to her, so Eva (sweet Eva, not the stinker who bites!) wanted to give her a hug. Every time Eva went to give her a hug, the little girl would start squawking and yelling at Eva. The mother kept apologizing saying, "she's not used to little people hugging, she plays with boys and they hit! I'm so sorry." This went on a round or two, when finally Eva not just looking sad, broke down in tears.... crying - heart broken actually that this little girl didn't return her friendship. Poor thing, I felt so bad for her.

We ended up leaving the party early to go home, I was thinking both girls might get a short nap in, but nope! Only in my dreams:-)

I hope we didn't break her!

The morning just didn't start off good - or I should say the night, since Eva was up nearly all night! Ugh! Good thing Matt is a good daddy & helps out or I'd be totally socked! We finally had Eva asleep, she was like a beast you didn't want to take a chance waking - and I have no clue why. My only guess is she's teething... she has two teeth on top and two teeth on bottom coming in. But when she cries she puts all four of her fingers from one hand in her mouth, and drools everywhere. So that's got to be it, right? Ugh - not knowing is so frustrating!

So Eva's finally asleep, but Grace is awake and we need to get ready so we can get going. We tuck Eva in tightly to the bed, surrounding her w/ body pillows. Wouldn't you know it - she still manages to roll out of bed. Thank goodness there were so many pillows she landed on them, still breaks my heart, I think it scared her more than anything.

Oh - my poor baby! Checked her body from head to toe but can't seem to even find a red mark, I hope we didn't break her!

News from Brenda...

News from Brenda, "AWWWWWWW!! The cutest thing ever. Eva knows that Breanna is leaving to go in town and she went and got her shoes out of her bag and got me a pair of shoes and brought them in the kitchen and then went and stood by the laundry room door to go. Breanna said, "where are you going Eva?" and she pointed to the door, Breanna told her she couldn't go with her and she acted sad and dropped her head down. It was the cutest thing ever."

I can totally see Eva doing this - she loves to look down at the floor all sad, and then look up at you w/ those BIG puppy dog eyes!

Toooo sweet!!!

Gymnastics....

Tonight Grace started her new gymnastics class - I just love taking her in there, we walked in the door and one of the older girls yells, "Hi Grace!" Grace leaps into her arms, and off they go. Grace had no idea who was in her class, but honestly I don't think it matters to her - she's friends w/ everyone:-) When Eva and I came back to get her, I found Grace hanging out w/ the High School Cheerleaders who have their practice there after the little girls do - like I said, she makes friends w/ everyone!

Sometimes I wish she didn't think she was 4 going on 16 though!
