The Marrying Kind

LM:

"Mom. I'm having a wedding."

Really? Who are you going to marry?

"No one. First I'm going to be a dragon, then a princess, then a bumblebee. Can you help me put on these gloves for my wedding?"

Sure.

Gogogogogogo Bananas!

MM had some real food for the first time (bananas) tonight. She devoured it.

5m2w6d. That's close enough to six months, right?

Six

BigM turns six today. I don't want to talk about it.

By the Numbers

G-Pops and Sassy are here leading up to BigM's stunning musical performance this evening of Bugz (separate post to follow) and LM just ran into the bathroom to go potty. She hasn't quite mastered the art of privacy, and she yells at the top of her lungs:

"MAMA, I JUST WENT POTTY."
Okay, do you need any help?
"YES, I DO. I JUST WENT ONE AND TWO."
Okay, I'll come help you wipe.*
"OKAY, I JUST WENT ONE AND TWO, NOT THREE AND FOUR AND FIVE."

Thank goodness. Because that would just be a mess.

*Get over it. Your mama probably helped you wipe until you were about five. And if your mama was lucky, when the daddy was home she got out of Booty Duty too.

Mwah

I'm a pretty laid back Mama. There's not much my kids (or any kids) do that flat out shocks me. But every once in awhile, I hear myself saying things that I never thought would ever come out of my mouth. Like earlier, when I told BigM,

"STOP kissing that cactus."

Cottontail

Oh how I love this little bunny booty!

Happy Easter!

Going to the Chapel

Just in case you wanted to know what we're up to this weekend:

It's going to be awesome. BigM wanted to make sure her teacher knew she will be missing school on Friday for my brother's wedding.  LM is also going to be a flower girl, which should prove to be interesting. She told DM's sister that flower girls are supposed to "butterfly skip and sing." I warned the bride-to-be.

Good luck with that, Sweet Caroline. xxxx Can't wait to call you my sister.
