Updates!

I can't believe what a slacker I have been about updating her blog! I have been so busy with Grace that I haven't been able to get in here as often. Just some quick funnies she has said (done) over the past week or so....

A while back she was sitting in my lap playing with the stapler as I typed an e-mail. She used up all the staples and then opened it up to see why it wasn't working. She looked up at me and told me that the stapler "needs new batteries."

Tuesday morning (5-27-08) she woke really early (about 5-ish) because her foot was stuck in her bed rails. She couldn't go back to sleep, so I brought her to our room and let her play in the bed while I slept ;) She finally fell back to sleep around 7:30. Well, my alarm went off at 8:15. When I saw her eyes open, I said that it was time to get up because the sun was awake (what she tells me all the time). She said, "I'm gonna sleep one more minute." I laughed and got out of bed and went to the bathroom to start getting ready. She yelled out, "Mommy, shut the door (the lights!). I told her okay and pushed the door to. Then I heard her say, "That is so RUDE!" the she got up and slammed the door all the way shut, got back in my bed and slept another 20 minutes. Is she my child or what?

Every thing is her favorite now. When we are talking about anything or anyone she really likes, she says, "That is my favorite." We have favorite dolls, potties, people and towels! When Kate was coming over to play she told me, "I like Kate. She is my favorite!"

Can you believe that my girl is turning 3 in less than a month? I can't! But, I look at her and she isn't a baby any more. And, I don't mean in looks alone. She is even acting older and older each day! I understand why parents always say they wish the could freeze time occasionally. Notice I said occasionally....when she has a tantrum, I want to fast forward it! :)

Speaking of tantrums, we have had a great few weeks with little- to-no tantrums! I am so proud, even though I'm sure it won't last long! She is playing even better with her friends, though she still isn't too excited about waiting her turn!
