The Mimi returns!! Well...just for about an hour.

Delaney LOVED her pacifier as a baby and had it with her at all times until she hit three. Once while we were in OR visiting family, we were sitting around a camp fire when my sister grabbed Delaney's "mimi" and tossed it into the fire! At first I was so sad! There goes my baby! So silly...but my heart felt like it was breaking as Delaney cried for the love of mimi! I kept one in my jewelery box and she found it yesterday. She came to find me and wanted to be held. I thought,"what the heck...just a lil bit wont hurt...right???" WRONG!!! Finally about an hour later the mimi was still in her mouth. I told her it was time for the mimi to go home. "Ohhhh noooo mommy!!!" I grabbed that little mimi chopped off the tip and threw it into the trash. She cried for about 10 minutes...sinkin mimi!

Can I get it???

I was really excited to start this whole blogging deal...started the page and then I didnt share it with any friends...it's so simple...no frills. However, I love to look at my friends blogs every day...even when there is nothing new posted. I can have a little peek to see how they all are doing and how their babies are growing and what fun family events are happening. So...Iam going to try now to be better and share/create blog life!

Little girl growing up

Today was Delaney's first day of preschool. Although she is only 3, I felt like she needed some peer play/interaction time a couple days a week. She will attend Creighton United Methodist Children's Center Mondays and Tuesdays 8:30-11:30. We started our morning with scrambled eggs, toast and juice. We got her new sneakers last night and she looked so much taller as she walk out the door this morning. Titus came along for the ride to see our girl off to school. God bless dogs! He is such a great companion and comfort when Dan has to be away. She was so excited when she walked in to see other children. I was relieved that she was so comfortable and without a fuss gave me a hug goodbye. It really does happen so fast. I want her to be so confident and independent, but it hurts a little too (I know how pathetic!). This is different from when I went back to work. This was a prayerful thought out choice of what Delaney needs right now. Since we have moved to AZ there are not a lot of children her age near by to do play groups with. She also started speech therapy twice a week, so for now we are busy bees.

Story Time...for Mommas ONLY!!!

I love a good story, especially ones about mothering and kids. So I must share this one that happened yesterday at my OB appointment.
I had no idea that I was due for a pap at this OB visit. I find out as I get into our little exam room. Dan is out of town and so of course I had Delaney in tow. We got all ready to go. I packed her some books and a few toys for distraction, a snack and her baby in the stroller. I felt well prepared.
All was going well as Dr. Sally and I talked about the pregnancy and how I was feeling. I got Delaney to start coloring before we started the "fun" stuff.
As soon as Dr opened my gown for the breast exam Delaney was front and center. She looks up at my dr and says, "those are mommy's poo-poos" YES SHE SAID POO-POOS! Why? Well it makes good sense to De since "parts" are now quite brown...GREAT!!! So my dr is in a fit of laughter...I am trying to redirect and it is not working. So it is on with the show. Dr gets down to the real business side of things and I am trying to sing "The wheels on the Bus" with Delaney...praying she will not slip from me and get a look...well come on...there is a sheet up and dr is messing with mommy...she HAS to have a look. So she prys away from me and sees the gadget in my body as dr does the pap!! Oh the trauma!!! Delaney says, "Ohhh NOOOO mommy, that's ouchie!!!!" I am trying to quickly sit up grab her while I am still in working postion of things and reassure her this is the dr's job to make sure mommy and baby are healthy and only dr looks at these special parts of mommy...blah, blah, blah. I am afraid of what events are to follow this educational outing for my 31/2 year old daughter. Her college fund will get sucked up by therapy bills I am quite sure of it!!!

Ahhh May!!

Well it is already summer here by the measure and rate at which sweat produces as soon as I go outside! I know that pregnancy helps a great deal of that too. To deal with this issue we have opened the pool up for this season. Dan and Delaney have nightly swims while I usually finish up some dinner. I can see them play from the kitchen window. She adores that man. It is so fun to see her just fall in love with her poppa more every day. Dan has decided that he is going to get Titus swimming this year. I tried last year, but failed. Boxers, due to short coat, low body fat and deep chest, are not good swimmers. I think I will get him some kind of dog floaties...ohhh that'll be a fun post eh?!
