I am grateful that it's 7:30 that comes too early these days, instead of 5:30. KA still calls for me when she wakes up and doesn't come out of her room til I get her. How'd I get so lucky??? As usual we started with a movie this morning-Diego has been her favorite. I always pretend I think she'll let me sleep a little longer while she watches, but 10 minutes in she wants breakfast. We had a smoothie this morning followed by mac 'n' cheese an hour later. She ate like a champ.
I knew the day was coming...she figured out that her tea set can hold real liquid. That lock button for the water in our new fridge is going to come in very handy these next few weeks. She also learned to clip her fingernails and pee on the floor. We tried Dora panties today and we're 0-2. I wonder how realistic this goal is to get her out of diapers before baby #2 comes.
We made it out for exercise class at the church and KA had a blast. Part of the class involves dragging the kids around the gym on a blanket. Does it get any better than that??? Next its my turn! Afterward she pushed her baby around in the snow for awhile - then ate snow for awhile - then, after licking the snow off of them, complained about cold fingers for awhile.
Baby #2 is active and I love to grab his little foot as he kicks my right side. I am starting to love being pregnant finally - maybe its that my belly is finally big enough to take the attention away from my ever widening hips. Still planning for a natural birth. I felt so robbed by my C-section with KA. I just feel confidant, given the chance, I can birth naturally - I've got the hips for it!
Dinners aren't going so well this week. I've been saving ham drippings in my freezer for awhile to cook pinto beans in. It was a good idea. They smelled so good...and tasted so...lets just say I know where my "lost shaker of salt" ended up, and its no where near Margaritaville. I rinsed mine in a strainer and they were better. KR and KA ate chips for dinner. This was about as good as the raw chicken I made for the missionaries on Monday, but we didn't back up with pizza this time.
KA isn't taking naps lately. I still am. I think that's how she is learning so much - I'm not stopping her. Her Daddy left to play basketball tonight and she donned snowpants, coat, Dora hat and rain boots. Couldn't stay in after all that effort! Thank you Family Dollar for opening in this town! I long for a mall so often, even Walmart would be wide arm welcomed. But Family Dollar we love you too. And on the way home at 7:30 my little snow monster fell asleep in full snow attire. Sweet girl, asleep at last.
