Mmmm, Chocolate Pudding.

Well life in this house is just...day by day. We are still fighting the sleep which means moods are forever unpredictable (for both of us) and we stay busy fighting the heat and wearing ourselves out in order to attempt to sleep more/better. Madelyn is also coming down with a cold. Imagine - how would an over-tired child get sick? Doesn't seem to be bothering her much though - thankfully.

"Gogurt"
Thanks Auntie for this fabulously messy treat!

My little spit-fire is always testing her boundaries. Now I know a lot of this is her age, and then a good bit more because she only has one parent to battle at the moment, but whew... guess you never believe in the "terrible two's" until you're smack in the middle (and we're not even two yet!) So far time out - or even a threat of "one more time and time out" seems to be working. Unfortunately, I feel I say that more than anything else nowadays. Maddy, well she still says "No" and "Mine" really well ;-) This week the prominent phrases that stand out is "da uder one" (when looking for something - one of her shoes or a different toy) and "wat dat Momma, wat dat?" (most commonly things out the window).

Walkin' Daisy.

We have been spending our days in the pool or coloring, and when brave enough venturing out for a walk with Daisy. The humidity has been a little high so a spin around the block is about all any of us girls can handle. Man, Abilene needs a Splash Zone...hmmm, anyone now how to get one in this city... or my backyard...

Well, we hope you all are well and we'll see you soon. x

Video: Yep, I share most everything with my Daisy.

P.S. I cried today when my babysitter painted my daughters nails/toes. I don't know if I'm over-tired or just an emotional Mommy. Seems like every little girl should have her nails first painted with/ by her Momma.
