My favorite things

First day of Pre-k

 Today was my big girls first day of Pre-k! From the moment I woke her up to the last shoe that I put on her sweet little foot, tears were running down my face. She asked my why I was crying and I said because I didn't want her to grow up. To add on to my heartbreak and tears, she said to me in the sweetest little voice, "Don't worry mom because God will protect me right!?" At that point I knew I had to bring myself to stop crying because she knew she was going to be okay and I didn't want to frighten her. I tried to keep her all to myself these past four years and I've had so much fun watching her grow and learn new things. I know this will be good for her and be on the right track for kindergarten. She's just too independent at 4 yrs old and it breaks my heart. I know mommies all around the world go through the same thing and that brings me a little bit of comfort to know I'm not alone :) This is just the beginning of many happy and proud heartbreaks for me but precious milestones for her. I refuse to let her get married!!! ;) I love you my sweet sweet sugar booger!

 

 

 

Boy Oh Boy I'm glad Im havin another girl

Spent the evening with my little nephew today and let me just say...boys and girls are like night and day! He wore me out! I guess I'm just not use to it. He has soooo much energy I wish I could borrow some. He yelled, he made loud monster sounds, wanted up, wanted down, wiggled and twisted and turned. He was so sweaty and sticky. He picked his nose and whatever he had in his hand automatically became a weapon. He swatted and grunted and wanted to push every button he could find! PHEWW!!!! I'm worn out just on this recap ;0 Dont get me wrong, I love him to pieces and kissed him every second that I could actually get a hold of him but MAN, I am not cut out for that.LOL! I'm use to my little princess. She's dramatic but gentle. She's sassy but sweet and she nurtures all her little baby dolls just like a real momma would. I love to dress her up and play with her hair and paint her nails and teach her how to be crafty. She lets me hold her and sing to her and she grabs my face and tells me that I'm "the best mom EVER!" But...my poor princess gets beat up by all her little boy cousins especially Noah. He will not hesitate to slap her silly if she gets in his way. He's only 1yr so she understands he doesn't quite know what he's doing. I do want a boy  eventually to carry on the last name but boy oh boy right now, I'm glad I'm having a girl. Now I know I'm asking for it because this little girl may turn out to be a rough little tomboy who also picks her nose and grunts like a monster and if that happens I will be okay. I am happy with whatever God gives me but its just amazing, the huge difference between little fellows and little ladies. Its funny because when Belle was little I never had to put anything away that I had on the coffee table because she just wouldnt touch it. No was No and she knew what the consequences were if she did. When I know Noah is on his way we all quickly run around the house frantically hiding EVERYTHING that is at his eye level and within his reach. If its there, he will grab it,smash it, rip it up, chew it and spit it out. It's exhausting! It's a relief to be able to spend time with my little booger and then send him on his way and return all my stuff to its proper place. *SIGH* I love him to the moon and back. He makes me laugh hysterically and I get to experience all the things that little boys do so much differently than little girls. He's my crazy little baby hulk and I  enjoy every minute that I have with him. Despite all the amazing craziness, I wouldnt change it for the world!!!
