It's Not That I Don't Love You . . .

I know, you're wondering why I never tell you the cute stuff any more. No delightful little tidbits that fall from my children's mouths. I want to. Really, I do. It's just that, well, she won't let me. She?, you wonder. Yes, she. She Who Must Be Obeyed (i.e., OBaby) has asked that I NOT share some of the funnier comments she's made recently. Oh, and that I not tell anybody some things she's done. Yes, my friends, at 5 years 6 months my girl wants her privacy. She doesn't want all her secrets being shared with the world. Basically, she wants Mommy to shut up. Sigh. Too bad she's the funny one. Oh, don't get me wrong, the little one is cute and sweet and sometimes says funny things, but O is the one who makes me laugh out loud every day. So, you'll have to settle for the occasional picture now and then and maybe a chuckle or two from the little one. But OBaby's life is off limits.

Personally, I think she's just trying to reserve the copyrights to her life story.

Party, Party, Party









We had a very busy weekend celebrating YBaby’s third birthday. Last year, she was clueless about the whole birthday thing. This year, she totally got it. She was excited for DAYS ahead of time about “my birfday”. She has happily told people that she is “three a old”. Saturday, we had a party at the local kiddy pool for all of her best friends. Then Sunday, the fabulous little W Family came over for a family party. To say Ying had a great time is an understatement. She loved it. She loved the cake. She loved the presents. She loved the attention. It was a far cry from the confused little girl who sat through last year’s party without a clue what was going on. The pictures really say it all – Ying digs birthdays!
