First off you know that you need to post more blogs when you can not remember how to get to make a new post. It took me 10 min to figure it out... bahh

I have been watching Weston this past week and I think that he is going to be left handed. He eats better with a spoon left handed. So I have a red-headed blue eyed left hand kid. Where did he come from?!

Since Elizabeth has turned four Keith and I decided that she needs to have chores and start to have daily things she does around the house to keep it clean. One of the things is that she needs to clean her room everyday. She does a decent job of it but LOVES to stick items behind her dress-up box in her closest and under her baby doll bassinet. Yesterday, I told her that we are going to deep clean her room. Clean under everything and take out all the 2T clothes that she keeps trying to wear. After spending a hour and a half session in the morning, another hour and a half in the afternoon her room was still messy. (It really was not bad to begin with she just refused to help so there was a lot of sitting there crying and her telling me it was my job to clean her room) At one point when we were almost done there was a pile of dress-ups that needed to be put in the box. She was refusing to open the box and told me not to talk to her. When she turned around I pointed to the dress-ups and pointed to the box. She put her head down put her hand over her eyes and stood there for 10 seconds then looks up at me and says "Mom, your giving me a headache." I could not help but laugh, I think I have said that to her to many times.

Elizabeth has mini conversations with herself usually about clothes. She has a two sided conversation with herself playing both her friends and herself. It usually goes a little like this...
Elizabeth "Mommy, do you think my friends will like my new dress?"
Me "Yes, I am sure they will"
Her playing a friend "Ohh look at Elizabeth's dress. It is so beautiful."
Elizabeth "Thank you my mommy got it for me. Do you wish you had one?"
Her playing a friend "Yes, I wish that I had a dress like that."
It is way funnier in person to hear a 4 year old have a conversation with herself.

  1. You have way more patience than I ever did. If they didn't want to do the cleaning, I did but they never saw the things I 'put away' again. Luckily Heavenly Father sends they right kids to the right parents.
    We loved the Primary program. You did such a good job, and we overheard a ward member saying that very thing. Thank you for inviting us.
