Lately our life has seemed to be normal...normal as in what we have adjusted to without any additional crazyiness going on! Normal days going to school, daycare, work, home, cooking, cleaning, bathing, playing, fussing, battling over brushing teeth and brushing hair, who's touching who in the car, who's being mean to who, etc........
Friday marks a whole new "first" for Audrey...she will be dancing at the Germantown High School football game! Not by herself, but with about 100 other excited little prissy girls! Of course, we can't get ANY information out of her, for she has become way too cool now to answer our "petty" questions! Too cool to practice her dance for us, and WAY to cool to let her pesty little brother play with her, since she is a CHEERLEADER now! We have even informed her that there are such things as boy cheerleaders, like at colleges, but that only makes her curl her lip and tell Brooks "well this is only GIRL cheerleaders". Lord help us!!! All he wants to do is whatever she does!
Brooks is testing the potty training thing. Some times he'll be real eager to sit on his potty, some times, not so much! But hey, every little step counts!! One day, just one day, maybe we can be done with pull ups all together!! Nothing grosser than to pull the back of the pull up out to check it only to realize it was seriously dirty, AND you just stuck your finger in it! OH the joys of motherhood! I don't know how I haven't gagged more than I have in the last 5 years!
Little Anna Leigh is melting our hearts more and more every day. There is nothing better in this world than to look at her and her whole face just lights up!! Or to see her look at Audrey and Brooks and her little face grin so big! She is in complete awe of them, I pray that she isn't as crazy as they are!! Maybe she'll grow up watching them and realize how insane they are, and not want to do that! But if not, oh well. That will definitly make for an interesting future in our house!
Audrey has become such the grown up lately. Duke threw up last night after devouring a huge bone, which I'll never understand why dogs do that?! Not to mention, how hard is it to move over two inches and throw up on the concrete floor, rather than stand there on the carpet and do it?!! That dog is gonna be the death of me!! ANYWAY, once she realized what he did, (it was only in the doorway into her room) she immediately began to try to comfort him, leading him to his water bowl, trying to make him eat MORE dogfood! It was sweet though, I overheard her telling him "it's okay Duke, just drink a little water...it'll help you feel better since you got sick." What a little mother hen! The other night she actually asked me to rock her in the chair, something I haven't done since she was probably a year old. Of course I dropped EVERYTHING I was doing to jump in that chair and get to rocking! Obviously she has grown since the last time, and she told me "I just can't fit in your arms anymore!" I quickly told her "Baby, God makes mommies' arms to ALWAYS be big enough to rock their babies, no matter if they are old or little bitty babies." I swear I don't care if I'm 95 years old, if any of my babies ever want me to rock them, I will MAKE it happen!!
