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!
