Everything I Need to Know...

I Learned in Kindergarten~

Most of what I really need to know about how to live and what to do, and how to be, I learned in kindergarten. Wisdom was not at the top of the graduate school mountain, but there in the sandbox at nursery school.

These are the things I learned:

Share everything.

Play fair.

Don't hit people.

Put things back where you found them.

Clean up your own mess.

Don't take things that aren't yours.

Say you're sorry when you hurt somebody.

Wash your hands before you eat.

Flush.

Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you.

Live a balanced life.

Learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work every day some.

Take a nap every afternoon.

When you go out into the world, watch for traffic, hold hands and stick together.

Be aware of wonder.

Remember the little seed in the plastic cup? The roots go down and the plant goes up and nobody really knows how or why, but we are all like that. Goldfish and hamsters and white mice and even the little seed in the plastic cup -- they all die. So do we.

And then remember the book about Dick and Jane and the first word you learned, the biggest word of all: look.

Everything you need to know is in there somewhere. The Golden Rule and love and basic sanitation. Ecology and politics and sane living.

Think what a better world it would be if we all -- the whole world -- had cookies and milk about 3 o'clock every afternoon and then lay down with our blankets for a nap. Or if we had a basic policy in our nation and other nations to always put things back where we found them and cleaned up our own messes. And it is still true, no matter how old you are, when you go out into the world, it is best to hold hands and stick together.

Happy 20 Month Birthday Sophia & Noah!

Here we are again, another month has slipped by in a blink of an eye. I dont have as much time these days to post but because TESSA sends me hate mail unless I do... so here goes! :) The babies are so active and into everything ...their busy all day except during their naps from 11:30-1:30pm. Sophia has become my picky eater. Noah is pretty easy going and Sophia is high maintenance. They are both loving taking baths, new shoes, balloons, suckers, slides, and brushing their teeth. They are sleeping really good these days... I have adjusted their bedtime to 7:30pm which works out great bec they wake up around 7:30am... right when I am ready for my day to start too! :) They love having each other to play with and be with all the time... they love getting into everything and being double trouble, especially when I am on the phone! They both are starting to outgrow their size 5 shoes and mamma is already planning their 2nd birthday bash! :)

Noah-ism's...

"ma-ma Oh NO!" - when he is telling on himself or sophia!
"sissy"
"da-da"
"an-du"
"Ba-ba"
"bob" for spongebob
"go" go diego go
"backpack"
"map"
"bye-bye" waves
"bash" for bath
"NO!"

well, Noah is not quite as chatty as Sophia but they do say boys are a bit behind girls so I am waiting for him to catch up. He says a lot of words just not alot of sentences. He has some other things he does that are hilarious tho. :) He loves to walk around with the stroller and put a baby in it. he is not gentle at all and bangs in to everything but its really sweet. He loves giving kisses and loves to hold my hand. Noah has a bad boy side but it doesn't come out very often. Only when he gets tired. He is so adventurous and will go up and down a slide without any help at all. he runs full speed ahead! Noah is my lil handsome boy with a big heart.

here is noah with his new purse! (what? Mommy got Sophia one and he had to get one too!)

Full speed ahead - watch out ya'all!
No fear!
Cool guy - loves his new glasses and loves to pull his pants up like this:

SOPHIA-ISM's



"Noah dit it"
"I two" as she holds up two fingers
"OH NO!!!!!!!!! Wheres Noah?" (when she wakes up and noah isn't in his crib!)
"Come here Noah!"
"NO NOAH!"
Grabs my hand "come here I show you!"
"Ma-ma, ba-ba... wheres Noahs ba-ba?"
"Ma-ma, I lud yu"
"I dont wut to"
"Ma-ma, Ma-ma, Ma-ma, Ma-ma!!!!!!!!!!" AHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
"ma-ma, a, bish, c, g, fsh," supposed to be the ABC's!
"dat beesh" = "the beach" of course!!!!
"bye bye Da-da"

Whats your brothers name? "Andu"
"mime" - she learned that from a lil boy yesterday at the park!

She is talking so much now. Everything is Noah this and Noah that... sometimes thats the only word I understand in all her sentences. She is his lil mamma. I have to remind her that I AM MOMMY but I do thank her for being mommys lil helper.

ok, I admit, she has become quite bossy and def has an additude but this lil girl melts my heart! :) She is becoming a lil girl and no longer my infant baby I am realizing. It sucks! Yesterday when we left the park and she didnt want to go she stood with her arms folded and turned away from me with her head down. She wasnt crying but she was def upset. Andrew and I just looked at each other bec we know we are in for it!

We are starting swimming lessons next week and can't wait. Fun, Fun, Fun!!!

Guess who came to visit!

Aunt ANNIE!!!!

and look what she brought!

Yes, toys and IN AND OUT!

Can we do this every week sans the parking ticket!???

Happy Birthday Mom!

Dear Mom,

Today is such an emotional day for ... I don't quite know where to begin. .. I think of you everyday and feel your arms wrap around me when I really need it. I know you are watching down on us and I am thankful for that. Life seems to go on every day but I still remember you, see your smile, and hear your voice and miss you everyday.

Happy Birthday Mom!!!! Today we celebrate your life and the memories we shared together!

As I scanned this photo today - both babies kissed it. It was sweet. I will make sure they know who Grandma is by showing pictures and telling stories. I only wish you were here to see them grow...and, oh, maybe babysit sometimes too!!! ;)

I know you are dancing in heaven celebrating with Elvis somewhere! ;)

Until I see you again,

your loving daughter

xoxo

PS- Aunt Annie thanks for the message this morning- of course it made me smile AND CRY! :) Love you all.

Chik-Filet... who knew?

So Andrew was off on Monday and some girl friends were telling me about Chik-fillet so I wanted to go check it out. Who knew the food was great, although kinda pricey, and they have a toddler play area. It was great. I was so shocked at how brave Sophia was. She climbed all the way up went through and all the way down the big slide and said WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!! Noah was a lil skeptical about going by himself so Daddy and I went with him a few times and it was super fun. :) Def going back there again!


Of course Dad had to 'one up me' by going down the slide backwards! Whatever!

Noah kept going up and then back down.... he just could not do it!

Look at her go...

My brave girl. I got closterphobic in there!looking for mommy out of the lil window! :)
