When I grow up

Naomi this morning in the car: I am going to have a red car, like Grandma's, but mine is going to be a mini van. And guess where I am going to live? In England, because thats where my house is! I told her, her Grandma and Grandad would be very happy about this, and she told me: "my cousins too!"

We hae a new tooth!

Well Paige does anyway! Her other front tooth has made an apperance1 For months she has looked like a snaggle toothed old lady! Finally the other front tooth has appeared! It evens things out in her mouth a bit!

4 going on 24

This morning Naomi went to Tia's with a full face of make-up. Purple eye shadow, brown pencil on her eyebrows, and bright pink lipstick. She gave Paige a big kiss, and transferred some of the lippo!

Papa's mantra

Every morning Barry goes into Naomi and kisses her good morning. He always tells her the same thing. "have a great day, be a good friend, and don't take life too seriously!"

Paige at age 1 year

Paige is practicing her walking skills. She is doing well and will walk if you hold her hands. Her feet are very turned out!!!! She is so proud of herself! Her other favorite trick is to give high-five! She is a little love and likes to eat anything, her favorite being peas and turkey sandwich meat. She is babbling away too, nothing legible, maybe she is speaking Spanish??!

children

at bedtime Naomi was talking about some of my friends at work, one of which does not have children. I explained that some people choose not to have kids, it was a choice. She told me She is going to have two children. Both girls. She said she wished you could choose, and she would not want boys...so funny. By the time she has children maybe it will be easy to specify the preferred sex of the baby!!!

The unveiling

Last night Naomi asked me if could keep my red sandals for her when she was bigger... I asked her if she wanted to see my wedding dress...I have saved it not really thinking she or Paige would ever use it, but it is sentimental. So we get it out, and since I did not have it cleaned and packaged properly, the sequins looked a little yellow! Anyway, Naomi LOVED it. She asked me to try it on, which I did, and Naomi thought I looked like a princess. I have to admit I could not zip it all the way up, 10 years of marriage and two children will do that! It was fun to go back in time!

Little bird

This morning we saw a bird that was struggling to fly. I pointed it out to Naomi and she said "maybe that little bird is a toddler, and she hasn't learned to fly!"

Naomi asked "how do you burn music on to a CD? " "can we do this at home?"

Ha ha, I can just imagine trying to explain what "records" are in a few years??

Who is Hillary's momma?

Naomi: Mummy, did Hillary grow in your tummy like Paige and Me?

Funny things

Naomi asked me if she will still me my honey even when she is a Grandma.

July news

7/16/07

At Happy hollow this weekend with the Murphy's, Naomi climbed to the top of the climbing frame and told me it was 'way scary." This is after she and Adam tried the stepping stones through the shallow water. Naomi was the first to fall in, getting her feet wet and crying pretty hard. Adam fell 2 seconds later and went in on all fours! He needed a fresh shirt, shorts, the whole deal...he cried for less time!!! Overall a fun day and everyone dried!

"Mama"

Paige turns one in a couple of days (July 9th) and is loving her new trick..standing. She tries to stand up at anything and then tries to climb on whatever it is. She lifts her leg way up for the smallest of steps! Cute. She is happy, happy happy, and finally said "Mama" last night! I think she was making me feel better because when I picked her up from daycare, she cried when she was passed to me and wanted to stay with Milvia! Stinker!
