It's been a while...

Ok, so it's been a while. We've had some crazy times around here...My hubby's grandmother was diagnosed with lung cancer, then undiagnosed, then told maybe it is cancer, maybe it's not...Meanwhile, we've had family in from out-of-town visiting her...

Anyway, L and C have enjoyed visits with their aunts, uncle and cousins, birthday parties, church, etc.

• C was hiding under the table while L finished lunch today. They were playing the game, "Where is C?" Finally, she pops out, "Here me are!"
• After rushing around to get us out the door for church, for which we are already 10 min. late, C takes her hair bow and "piggy tail" out while I'm driving us to church for the early morning nursury duty. I told her to stop, rather sharply (too sharply, I think now). L tells me, "Mommy it's ok to be frustrated with me, but don't be frustrated with C. She's just our little baby girl." Ok, so I felt lower than pond scum! Who cares when we get to church if I've hurt my baby girl and sweet man's feelings on the way??? Needless to say, I apologized.
• C loved on her cousin Jackson who is 10 months younger (Just turned 1 this month) all weekend. She'd stand by him, hug him and say, "Ooo, I love you buddy!"
• C is so into taking care of her baby dolls; she does it just like me, too...pushing the stroller with bags on the handles, baby on the hip and purse on the shoulder. Too cute! Then she changes their diapers..."Dis baby gots a bad shoo-wee."
  
• L has been so good to share his toys all weekend. He also has really been taking care of C. When his big cousin Joshua started to open C's door during her nap, L came running to stand between him and the door. "No, no, no...we can't wake up my sister. She needs to sleep."
• C had taken off her own "shoo-wee" in the kitchen this morning (messy, yucky, gross), and was trying to go to the potty on her own. Then, after that crisis was handled, busted her lip...all before 8:30!
• C can pick up any song. Right now, after just hearing the beginning of "Go, Diego, Go!" 2 times, she's got the words and tune down! Amazing.
• L told me while we were discussing what to buy his cousin Harrison for his birthday this weekend, "Hey, I know what we should get Harrison. We should get him a Diego movie. That kid LOVES Deigo!" I also should note that I love the way L says Diego...It's more like "THe EGGO."
