Mommy, do you see the monkey?

So for those of us who are experiencing the joys of motherhood, one of the fun, yet sometimes embarrassing, times is toddlerhood. Is that even a word? Anyway, kids really do say the darndest things. The weekend before last, we were at church and one of the deacons was walking down the aisle toward us. Why did my precious little one say "mommy do you see the monkey?" Yep, she was talking about HIM...the deacon. Nope, he didn't hear her...whew. But, I guess he did slightly resemble one. He had his hair in two strand twists which hung on both sides of his face...he had long arms...I don't know. But, she was serious. I said "baby that's a man not a monkey". She said "noooo mommy, that's a monnnkey". Whatever...conversation over.

In the car, she decided to have a conversation with herself. Yep, she played two characters in the drama that was unfolding in her own mind. Hopefully, this isn't a precursor to some sort of mental disorder but rather her wonderful creativity unfolding before our very eyes. She even changed her voice for the characters. Her dad and I were rolling. The plot was very silly and not really worth recapping. But, the fact that she actually changed her voice and laughed during the conversations was...well...funny.

While walking to our cars from church on Saturday, we had to pass a few questionable characters. It wasn't a big deal. But, the funny one was a male crackhead with ORANGE hair singing "Victory is Mine". His friend sat behind the dumpster singing along. Then the orange crackhead started talking to my baby saying "you so brutiful" and whatever else. Funny!

Motherhood

Yesterday, I had something to do so the kids went to their old sitter's house for a few hours. We got home later than intended so I knew I would be rushing to prepare dinner, get them bathed, and settled for the night. Here's what really happened. As soon as we entered the house, Brayden started running around saying "Mommy, I have to pee". So we rush into the bathroom and as soon as his pants are unbuttoned, he starts peeing on himself. I clean him up and decide they can play in the tub while I start preparing dinner. As soon as we get to the kitchen, Danica throws up all over me, herself, and the floor. So, I take her to our bathroom and bathe her. Before I can get her pj's buttoned up, Brayden starts screaming "I have to pee!" Because he just went all over the bathroom floor, I'm a little perplexed. I run to their bathroom anyway only to find out he didn't have to pee, he had to poop and had already dropped two bombs in the bathtub where his s...

In Memory...

Staff Sergeant Javares Washington was killed in Kuwait. He was my cousin. My cousin died yesterday...in Kuwait...and I'm so very sad. I feel like I can't breathe. My heart is broken. We grew up like siblings. His mom had him at a very young age. She wasn't ready to take care of him. So, he lived with us for years. He was like my brother. And now, I'm in shock. I'm going to miss him so much. The military has only said he was in a government vehicle on patrol and it flipped over. We don't know what caused the flip or anything. I want to go home. He was married and had two children. His son, Jayden, is 6 years old and looks just like him. His daughter, Tristin, is 9 months old. My heart is broken.

Love at First Sight

I am absolutely in love with this little girl. Danica was born with a heart murmur but we found out today it's no longer there. We are so happy with this little perfect being and can't wait to get to know her more.
