Funny Rylan
I was soaking my feet in the tub while the kids took a bath tonight.
Rylan patted my leg.
"Oooh, mommy," he exclaimed, "I feel something pokey."
What? I thought. I just shaved my legs this morning. They are silky smooth.
"Mommy, you are a cactus!"
Today at the grocery, Rylan and I were having an in depth conversation about...the classification of living things.
"Mom, is an opossum an animal?"
"Yes, it is an animal, a mammal, actually. Did you know you are a mammal, too?"
"What! I'm not a 'possum!"

Big brother
Caroline really loves her big brother, and most of the time he is sweet and kind to her.
A few more haircut pictures
I just couldn't resist. She really doesn't look like my baby anymore.
That funny flip in her hair.

Snip, snip again...
As much as I loved Caroline's new ponytails, I decided to break out the scissors today. Her hair was looking pretty stringy at the ends and was constantly getting sticky food in it. She is not fond of me brushing or fixing it, so until she is ready to be more cooperative, I am going to make life easier on both of us.
I was debating about taking her up to Great Clips, but decided to try cutting it myself. I put her in her booster seat with a bowl of cheerios and amazingly she hardly noticed what I was doing. She didn't like my water spray bottle, but sat pretty still for the scissors part. I am very happy with the results although I kept the scissors handy for neatening up any stray ends!
I never noticed it with the first haircut, but I think she has a cowlick in almost the same place I do. Her hair wants to flip out in a certain spot, just like mine.
Caroline helps me with the combing part.

Precious girl.

Precious girl.Slumber party
Caroline and Rylan quite possibly have the best daddy in the world. Their mother certainly wouldn't let them do anything that could disturb sleep like...
a slumber party! So, while mommy was at work, Charlton let the kids camp out in Rylan's room. This was as close to a "big girl" bed as Caroline has gotten.
She looks so grown-up! Sleeping in her own bed didn't last long.
Finally asleep around 9:00 when Caroline got her wish to sleep in "Bubba's bed."
Love those little toes peeping out.
