Day 2: IWTR

Wouldn't you know that after I sent all of my grades in to work yesterday, I swore off the computer in order to spend some time with my family. We had a fun day together and I stuck with the "no computer" thing. Then, as I was planning out the day today, I realized I hadn't written a post for Day 2 I want to remember. Luckily, my short-term memory is doing well and I can sit here and jot down a few thoughts about my girls from yesterday.

Peach:

You came home from school excited because you saw your name scheduled on the helper list. They call it VIP when you are helper and you get to wear a little VIP ribbon. You love being the helper, and you even save all of your VIP ribbons!

Brownie:

You are doing well with writing your name. We worked on one of your Christmas bags and you wrote your name. I helped you with 2 letters, and the rest you wrote all on your own!

Bug:

I found more of your artwork. As I was tucking you girls in for naps today, I discovered some blue lines (in Sharpie pen) on the toy vanity set in the big girls' room. It was determined that the marks were made by none other than you, my artist. Yes, you know the rules, but you don't believe in following them-- at least not this particular rule!

Boushka:

While we were at Target with Grammy today, you spotted Christmas dresses. You were so excited for all the pretty clothes--you oh'd and ah'd over everything. Your eyes were big as you pointed to all of the dresses. Looks like we may have another fashionista to raise. Brownie, you're in charge of fashionista Jr.!

Baby girl in my belly:

I sat down to eat dinner last night when all of a sudden it felt like a huge muscle tightening took over. It stretched from one side to the other around my abdomen and never ceased for 10 minutes. It was painful and I started to get worried because it wouldn't go away. I tried changing positions, breathing techniques, anything I could think of--- then all of a sudden it just melted away. During this time it seemed like you were moving differently as well. This still boggles my mind (even after 5 pregnancies), and I'm just glad it hasn't come back.
