Big Guy, thank you for small pleasures.. to see a baby again.. a wee one... its a treasure. I havent seen a small one in such a LONG time. I was afraid people done gave up on havin babies!
Lets see... Mine is smarting off and tellin me NO! with an evil ornery grin. Its always somethin he KNOWS he shouldnt do.. but he just enjoys my torment.
My daughter is in preschool and she LOVES IT!!!! She's a big girl now.. and she keeps showing me all the big things she can do and its a treat....most of the time.

Really, its special to see her evolve within days and be a whole new self!! She no longer needs my help buckling her belts.. and zipping things.. she says NO, mom.. let ME do it...(tears) Ive been doin for so long.. its awkward not to. She talks my ear off about her day with such enthusiasm.. its a treat to hear it from 'her point of view'... its a treat to see her face glow with such excitement.
I hope you have been enjoying you bundles of love...
Maria.. i can attest to the toilet thing.. i dont know WHY they are always fascinated with the dirtiest places in the home... my goodness. if its not the toilet.. its the trash can... and... what is with the toothbrushes and toilets???? i just had to buy a whole new round of brushes AGAIN. and, i just remembered i have toothpaste rubbed all over my towel rack that i didnt get to yet. and... the animal cookie fight... and the cereal fight... and...the piles of school papers they treated me with today.... and the wrapping paper nightmare when they decided to get it out over the weekend(dont ask.) and... another round of dishes because of my canning freezing harvesting tirade in ma kitchen.... and the lil fuzzies that they drew out of my favorite couch when they pulled all the cushions off my couch.... and jumped on the stack. ag. its not good to think on it. Itll get done in good time. I just gotta pace myself and give them a rake and a trash can. give them cleaner and papertowel... and give them the look.

ahhh... a days worth done well!!!!
y'all take care. Im still thigh deep in apples and tomatoes... and they keep a comin.. and im not complainin... im just a doin...doin...doin..done! Its been a good year for it and... Im so thankful. I'll be back soon, take care, sweetiepies.
ps... daisy is so precious. She is all baby!! I so miss picking up a baby that depends on you and cries for you... give her a peck on the cheek fer me.
