Hunger Games

So last night we were eating dinner- MM hadn't napped in quite some time so she was really fussy. As most moms do, I left the table and took her upstairs to put her to bed so we could all eat in peace. I put the tray to her high chair on the floor with her uneaten dinner on it and headed up. She fell right asleep, and of course, woke up right when I tried to put her in the crib.

We both came downstairs and I set her in the living room so I could finish my dinner and she could play with her toys. About a minute later, I turned around to find this cute little face staring at me.

I think she was still hungry.

Belle of the Ball

Today was LM's 4th birthday party. Your fourth birthday is a big deal at the Mouse House, because you get to invite non-family members. But because LM is the introverted type, a big giant party with lots of friends would probably freak her out, so we made a small list of friends and added family members and that was just right.

There is the most awesome place in the big town with a ginormo closet full of dress up clothes, and the princess of your choice comes to serve you tea. Obviously, we chose Sleeping Beauty. The only thing we had told LM is she was having a Princess Party- and being the middle child, she gets the shaft quite regularly- so we surprised her. She was so excited, and loved being able to dress up with a few friends and have tea. (I know I already said that, but really, that was all they did. And they LOVED IT.)

She didn't freak out and make a snarly face when everyone looked at her to sing Happy Birthday while she blew out her candles, so that was a bonus! She even spoke to Sleeping Beauty, which was quite shocking, as they had only met "once upon a dream".

Happy (early) Birthday, to my cute sweet little Princess. I can't believe you're almost four years old!

Ten

Today DM and I celebrate our tenth wedding anniversary. That was fast- except those four years in dental school. I felt like those would never end.

I'm looking forward to the next ten, by then BigM will be driving. Wait, I don't want to think about that. Good thing I have ten more years.
