La La La

The Gremlin has started singing. She generally doesn't know the words, but that doesn't stop her. She will go "la la lo hum hum" until she gets to a word she knows. Twinkle Twinkle Little Star becomes "La la lo hum hum what lo la la. Uppy la la high..." This morning, that played to her benefit.

We were listening to Aunt Abby on the radio and a song came on in which the refrain goes "oohhoohhoohh oh oh, don't forget what he said," among other things. We had the oohhs down pat!

Let's just hope she did NOT inherit her mother's singing ability. :)

Here are a few shots. As you can see, we have to almost ALWAYS have a doll. There are 4 we put into rotation. One is named Baby because it is a baby and wears a diaper - though it is usually naked. The other three are named Dolly. I'd like to think it is in honor of my great aunt, but...sometimes the obvious answer is the right one. And Grandpa, as you can see, Belinda and the other home-made doll are getting a second lease at life. She loves my old home-made Cabbage Patch Kids. THANK YOU. It kind of feels like she is getting to play with you and Grandma every day.

      He is just so tall. When I get him to stand up he is almost as tall as she is. I am sure he and Liam can cause some serious troubles.

Hi Ho Hi Ho, It's Off to Work I Go

Had to head into the office today. Everyone went along with the show this morning and we didn't have too many glitches. Other than the fact that someone likes to eat the Play-Dough. I gave her one warning and told her it was going away if she ate it again, so of course she ate it again. I know she knows what I am saying and is just testing me to see if I will do what I threaten. I tell you, it is hard to be firm and consistent. Especially when she looks up at me with a single tear in her eye and points at the Play-Dough and says "Doe...more...peez!" And as for the first day at the nanny yesterday... 2.0 was PERFECT. He stayed on schedule, went down for his naps with no issues, didn't cry or fuss and ate just a little less than each bottle I sent over. When I picked them up the nanny said, "he's nothing like the Gremlin was back then." No, he isn't, THANK GOD!!! And of course big sister LOVED having him there with her all day long. As for me, I ...

Wouldn't Trade It for the World

I wish I had a way of recording life as it was happening. I wanted to preserve the memory of what happened that badly, so I am writing it here to remember forever... I'll give you a little back story first. The Gremlin woke up around 5:15 or so and cried out for a few minutes. It was an odd cry. It was not her "I'm hungry" cry or a simple "I woke up and didn't want to" cry. This was more of a "I am scared, help me" sound. But she fell back asleep, so I figured it was just a bad dream and now it was done. 2.0 woke up at 6:15, so I went in to feed him. And when I got to his door, the Gremlin started crying out again. And didn't stop. My husband has to leave for work at 6:45, so there was no way he was going to be able to help out. I was on my own. So after I finished feeding 2.0, I went into the Gremlin's room. This is when I wanted the filming to start. I walked in and saw something that just broke my heart. The Gremlin was sittin...

Signs, Signs, Everywhere There's Signs

I believe 100% that the universe (or God or Allah or whatever you think helps us be part of more than ourselves) sends us signs. They can be very subtle, more like a light wind than a burning bush. Or they can be so overt we feel foolish for not heeding them. Lately, I've had the fire department on speed dial with all the burning bushes in my life. In the past three weeks, I've gotten multiple signs about multiple items in my life. There was the nightmare about an inoperable brain tumor that made it clear I need to talk to someone about a problem I was having with them. There was the conversation with my sister about husky rescues and rain that resulted in rain for the first time in weeks and a potential adoption opportunity (no, we did not get another husky, much to my dismay). There was the person who walked past my house five days in a row with a literal sign on  before I realized I hadn't gone outside in five days. And now, another one just happened and I can't igno...
