Let’s just hope this weather is here to stay!
Let’s Talk About It: Staying Humble
We are having a typical, face-to-face potty conversation, when Emma stops and points to my mouth.
E: Mommy, your tooth.
M: Yes, those are my teeth.
E: But your tooth, Mommy.
M: Yes, honey that is my tooth. What about it?
E: It’s, it’s tipping over.
[long pause]
M: No, honey. It’s just crooked. Thanks for noticing.
E: Your welcome, Mommy.
Let’s Talk About It: Encouragement
Emma and I are paging through the new Little Einsteins coloring book Grandma & Grandpa gave her for Easter, and we come to a page that asks you to draw in creatures of the sea. Emma suggests I draw some fish and starfish. Of course, I draw away.
Then she says: “Mommy, draw Ariel.”
I respond: “A mermaid? Oh no, Emma. I don’t think Mommy can draw a mermaid.”
E: “Yes, you can, Mommy. You can do it. You’re a great Mommy!”
How could I say no to that?
Fashion Friday: Keeping Us Cool
Thanks to my stylish friend Mama C-ta, my girls are hip in these awesome alpha tees. Not only does she sell these shirts (which I think I have purchased for everyone I know), she and her hubby actually designed them. You can check out their web site here and her store here.
I admit that I haven’t really developed a “style” for Emma or Kendall. This is mostly because we have been blessed with many, many hand-me-downs that are of good quality, are in great condition, and save us tons of money.
Now that we have two girls, though, I asked Jeff if I could splurge and actually buy Emma a decent amount of spring/summer clothes. Obviously, these could be worn by Kendall in a mere 2 years. He was all for it.
Needless to say, I am so excited, I don’t even know where to start! But I do have a few items already lined up, so stay tuned…
