Old beyond her years....

I just got the "I'm going in my room and never coming out again." I thought they only did that when they were teenagers. All because I won't let her pick a movie at the library today because of her behavior.

Tales from Gabriella Rose

Gabriella farted (why do all her stories have to do with bathroom humor) and I said "what do you say" Gabriella responded "My fart smells" I couldn't even tell her that was wrong because I was laughing to hard.

Preschool Graduation!

Sydney is graduating from preschool tonight. With her bright blue graduation gown and her white dress she picked out for the occasion 3 weeks ago. My baby will be in full time kindergarten next year. I know she is ready I'm just not so sure I'm ready.

Preschool has been awesome for you. You have loved every minute of it and hated when you were on vacation. This year you have learned... how to write your name, how to spell out loud your last name, how to make friends, how to hula hoop, how to plant a seedling, all about dinosaurs, countless songs, that recess, snack time, and arts and crafts are the best things to do at school, that you have to get to school early if you want to be the first one in the tree house, all about Earth day, that the best arts and crafts are definitely worth keeping, that even though what you made might be awesome we still don't have an endless supply of room to keep all of the art projects, how to write all your letters by looking at them, and so much more.

What I have learned... that 2 1/2 hours and not really enough time to do anything, that a 5 year old's art projects can me more beautiful than a Picasso, that she learns alot better from someone else then she does for me, also she listens alot better to someone else too, that it's ok to let your baby go sometimes, and it's alot harder than I thought to let go.

Tales from a pre-schooler

Sydney was dressed up in her turquoise and white polka-dot dress with the big sun hat to go with it. (She of course had to wear the hat even though it was raining) Her teacher said when Sydney when up to be the meteorologist for the day she heard one of the boys in class turn to his friend and say "Wow she looks like a supermodel" It's a good thing Sydney didn't hear that or she would have been posing for hours.

Do you ever.....?

Do you ever have those days (or weeks or even months) where hearing the word Mama or Mommy just sounds like a dirty word? Where if you hear it one more time you head will explode? When someone says it you just want to scream in their face? Yea i think I'm having one of those days....

We're home!

We are all done with our vacation. It's always such a depressing time for me, when the thing you've looked so forward to for the past year is all over. You're left wondering what it is to look forward to. What will take me through the screaming, the fighting, the crying, the potty training, the cleaning, the everyday same old same old. Well, I always have my 30th Birthday to look forward to next month... yea that should get me out of bed tomorrow morning
