Last Day of School Year 2012/2013

You both had a great school year! I can't believe how much you both have changed this year!!!!

Caylee and Carleigh says old edition

This is an old draft I found waiting to be published!! oops! :)

  Upon getting Caylee ready for the night I notice she has a brown skid mark in her undies ( I am not sure of the politically correct way to say that blog world sorry!) Before I could say anything Caylee looks down at her undies and sighs very heavily and says dead serious " Dad pooped in my undies again" I was completely caught off guard but before I died laughing I managed "WHAT?!?!" "yup, he took off my undies, put them on to poop in them, and then put me back in them...geeesh" with another very heavy sigh....... my sides hurt from laughing so hard at this one!

Carleigh was watching a Christmas movie that had Mistletoe in it, all of a sudden she disappears into her bedroom and reappears with her own homemade mistletoe on a red piece or yarn. "Here daddy hang this up for me" Mama come stand under it so he can kiss you" so we obliged only to hear EWWWWWWWWWWW and for her to run off, Next thing we know Caylee runs over to her daddy with her piece of red yarn "here Daddy hang up my MistleTALL, stand under my mistleTall mommy!!!

We took the girls to the Parade of Lights and as Santa came by I hear Carleigh exclaim "It's Santa, It's Santa, oh my gosh I am going to faint!!!

Caylee ate dinner at her meme's one night and when I asked her what  she had she said "fagaccini" I said you mean fettuccini and she said that's what I said mom "the best fagaccini ever"

We have a few people in our families that are pregant and randomly one day while driving down the road the following conversation took place with Carleigh "Mom how long after you get married is it before you go into labor?" (I was internally thinking, (A) this conversation is going to someplace I am not ready to go yet with my seven year old and (B) I am really glad she thinks you have to be married to get pregnant! LOL!!!) Me: "Well it just depends, daddy and I were married three years before you got in my tummy......"well geesh mommy it sure didn't take long for a STORK to bring a baby and put it in a person "who shall remain nameless's" tummy And here is the moment where I breathed a HUGE sigh of relief that my seven year old still believes a Stork brings babies to your tummy!!! Oh Carleigh, hold on to that nieveness for a while longer!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

4 years young

Dear my little spunky Caylee

Today you turned 4 years old, How that is even remotely possible I just don't know! In some ways I feel like you have been my baby forever. Adding you to our family was seamless, you were a perfect fit. And as you have grown with each passing year, I see how God has made you the perfect end to our little family. You aren't in a hurry to grow up, you never tell me your a big girl, you are prefectly fine with still being my baby, you still love to climb into your dad and my lap and be rocked, you have a passion for your binky that would rival any newborn, you don't feel the need to to things before you need too. You recently learned how to dress yourself, you were so excited when you ran  to me and showed me, and I was proud of you for trying! I know I have to let you grow up, and I want you to, at your own pace. You are bigger than most just turned four year olds, you wear a size 6x or 7 and a size 13 shoe. You make us laugh mulitple times a day and life is never dull with you around! A few things you are doing right now. You have learned many new things in Pre-K, including some of your letters, how to draw your shapes, you have a new found passion for puzzles and are really good at doing the, you love open play time in the gym and going outside. You still struggle at least three days a week with being dropped off at pre-k, you cry and don't want me to leave but Mrs. Bates and Mrs. Pacini say you are fine seconds after I leave. This has been by far my biggest challange. I wanted to pull you out of preschool but they assured me that doing that would make next year harder. My heart breaks every morning and I have shed more than a few tears on my drive to work over it, everyday when Meme picks you up and asks how your day is you tell her it was GRRREEAT, then when she asks if you cried when I dropped you off you say No Meme I not cry! You are such a stinker!  To celebrate your 4th birthday we went to "Carlos" pizza and bowling and decorated with Jake and the Neverland Pirates!!! Caylee each day you bring us so much laughter and joy :) I can't wait to see all the changes that come with you being a four year old!!!

Love you to the moon and back,
Mommy
