We are expecting!

Ha! Not me!! Sasha is going to have kittens. We have no idea when they'll come, but when she sits on me, I can feel them moving in her tummy. It gives me flashbacks of feeling Lucy roll inside of me. It's wild! For what seems like forever, Lucy has named every baby and Barbie "SALLY" so we will most likely keep one and be naming it just that. Anyone want one...

That time of year...

Through our almost 4 year old's eyes...it's magical. She is exploding with excitement. She went to bed saying she was so excited for Christmas in the morning.

Things I need to record so I don't forget them...

1. Can I see if Sponge Bob is on? (Probably asked 5 times a day) The sad thing is, he usually IS ON.
2. I want to leck the puppies out.
3. You are my best mommy.
4. Will you get me a new Plablo? (Back Yardigans)
5. Do you understand that Mommy?
6. I love when she says "actually" and everytime she does, she follows it with "I say actually lot of times."
7. Giving Time (Thanksgiving)
8. That's your problem. That's your deal.
9. Mommy, look at me.
10. Mommy, stop for a second.
11. I'm so esiged! (excited)
12. 1-2-3-4-7-8-9-10-14-16-18 (Her standard counting pattern)
13. Girls Weekend!
14. Blues clues is boring.
15. We got you an abocado! (avocado) Whether they did or not, she always tells me they did. I LOVE avocados.
16. Can I have a maj? (massage)
17. I need some pivacy.
18. Silly Mommy!
19. Zoe Baloney, Mac-aroni, Sasha Washa, Peanut Budder (Silly pet names)
20. And our special, never-fail, nightime conversation:

L: I love you so much to the moon and back.
Me: I love you more.
L: Don't let the bed bugs bite bite you. (The double bite is too cute.)
Me: Don't let the bed bugs bite bite you either.
L: I'll see you in the morning.
Me: I'll see you in the morning too.
L: I'll see you in the night time.
Me: I'll see you in the night time too.
L: I love you.
Me: I love you too.

Still lining up those little people...

Look at them all! Never mind the topless Barbie in the back!! :)

Future Oak Ridge Student?

One of those moments...

Samantha landed a flip tonight. And it was her birthday! All of my skating friends remember good old freestyle 4. It's a big deal. She isn't one of my students, just in a group class. I looked her in the eye and told her how close she was, and that she was going to land that jump on her birthday. And she did. I love coaching. I feel lucky to have that in my life.

Raggedy Ann or the Wendy's Girl?

She loved trick or treating. There was no time for "your welcome" after Lucy's thank you's...it was all about moving on to the next house.
