Want to Play Doctor???

Ok...so what do you think when you hear those words??? I was at my sister's house yesterday, and I heard those words come out of my daughter's mouth! My heart almost stopped as I tried to eavesdrop on what their definition of "doctor" was. I was relieved to see that it included using pretend band-aids, medicine, and a pencil to give shots. That game has been Kassies' obsession lately, and every time she tells me she played Dr. with her cousins, I always have to ask how exactly they play it. Is it just me, or was playing doctor something completely different when we were growing up???

New Baby Pics...

My friend Debbie called me yesterday while she was at work and told me she was bored, and wanted me to bring Leini in to have her pictures taken (she works at Kiddie Kandids). I usually try to time it right so the baby has taken a nap and will be happy for the pictures. She was exhausted, but she said if I brought her in right then, she had some coupons I could use to get them taken. After the first couple of pictures, she was done smiling, but all in all, I thought they turned out pretty good. I think Debbie has the magic touch though. The picture with the angel wings was taken very last. She got the baby to fall asleep in the middle of a crowded (and noisy) photo studio on her tummy. We had to undress her (and get a onesie over her head, mind you) all the while, keep her asleep. I was amazed! When I got home and showed Abe, he said he didn't like the angel picture. That one was my favorite, but he said it looks like porn! Now I feel a little guilty. What do you think?????

Scary Phone Call...

So last night around 8, Abe called me and told me to hurry and get dressed in my church clothes. He was on his way to come pick me up and we had a meeting with the Stake President. Keep in mind, I've never had a call asking me to meet with him, so I was a little scared! Plus, I had just gotten the girls to bed, and didn't want to wake them up. My mind was thinking up a million possibilities of what he could possibly want! Abe's friends were at the church right before we walked in to talk to the Stake President, and they were all teasing him saying he must have been really bad! Turns out he was! =) I don't think I can say how bad yet since they're not announcing it for another week and a half in church, but let's just say I'm going to have to share my husband with the ward a lot more than I already do!

First Day of School....

Yay! Kas went back to school! We've been counting down til this day for the last 6 months (since she stopped going to her last school!) When I dropped her off this morning, she was out the car door faster than I could tell her to wait for me. She was already inside the school! When I went in to make sure she made it ok, I was trying to tell her goodbye, but she didn't even have the time to turn her head around to wave me off! I was a little sad she didn't even want to say bye, but I guess it's better than having to leave her crying every time like some parents have to! Am I a bad parent for being happy on her first day???? =)

Baby blessing pics...

Ok...so I was trying to get Kassie ready a couple of days ago, and she had just gotten out of the bath. I was brushing her hair and trying to pull it back in a ponytail, when I was taught a lesson...four-year old style 101! She said, " No Mom, I want my hair down, with a piece hanging down in front of my face," as she pulled a curl in front of her eyes. When I asked why, I was told, " Because Mom...it's the style!" I could not believe my four year old was giving me lessons. Then, she went into her room, and when she came back out, this was the result. Does this bring back the 80's anyone??? Apparently I have a lot to learn!

Also, my sister took her to Build-A-Bear for her belated birthday present, and she came back with a poster of Corbin Bleu (from High School Musical). She proceded to take it out and search for the Scotch tape. She informed me she needed to hang it on her wall! I'm continually blown away by this little four year old going on seventeen! I think I'm gonna be in a LOT of trouble!

Ok...so it's crazy to me that another month has already flown by! My baby girl is already 2 months old!!! She has changed so much every day. Yesterday was her first day of giving me REAL smiles! It makes me so happy! She is already so chunky too! Everybody asks how old she is and they're always amazed when I tell them she's only two months old! She's so round...she has 3 distinct seperate rolls on her thighs! Her nickname is Chunks so the poor girl will probably grow up thinking that's her real name! She's been really collicky though...it's especially bad at night, and she can scream and scream and nothing will help. It's so frustrating. I have her two month well-child check this week, so we'll see if they have any tips to help. Does anyone have any tips that work? I would be forever in your debt! =)
