A stinky ordeal!

So the other morning I was in the midst of getting Adalynne and Alora into the bath when the phone rang. I had already stripped the girls down to bare bottom. I was expecting an important phone call, so I left Alora in her room to play and Adalynne in her bed just for a moment. Well, it turned out that it was my friend Kelly and so I began to talk. Well, a few minutes later Alora comes into the kitchen and says "pew-wee mommy, it is stinky." I rushed into the bedroom, where the most awful smell was permeating through the room. Yes, that is right, Adalynne had done the doo all in her bed. That's not the worse of it, she is also eating it. HOW DO YOU EAT YOUR OWN POO? Of course, by this time I am off the phone trying to pick Adalynne up without any poo getting on me and I throw her in the tub.(not literally) It took me at least half an hour just to scrub all the poo off and another 30 minutes to get her smelling good. The funny thing is, this isn't the first time something like this has happened. Lesson learned: Never ever leave a child near a messy diaper or without a diaper on, unless you want to be cleaning up poo.

Best Friends!

Adalynne is now 14 months old and into everything. She loves to dance and pretend to eat make-believe food. She loves to read books and build blocks but her very favorite thing to do is chase her big sister around the house. Alora will run around and yell come and get me sissy. It is so precious to see my two little girls play together. Well, sometime last week as they were chasing each other around the house. Adalynne fell down on the ground and Alora fell on top of her and started kissing her. Adalynne was trying with all of her might to get up, she finally managed to get from under the kissy monster, when Alora grabbed the back of her shirt and called out, "Come back here my best-friend." Children truly are such a blessing.

Caterpillars

So yesterday, Alora fell asleep in the car on the way home from the store. When we got home she staggered into the living room and fell back asleep on the couch. Shortly after that, Adalynne noticed Alora sleeping on the couch when she began to beat on Alora's bootie. Adalynne was yelling some word at Alora that I couldn't quite understand but none the less it caused Alora to slowly wake up. When I noticed that Alora had her eyes open and they remained open for more than 30 seconds. I ased her what she wanted to eat. She immediately jumped up on the couch and yelled, "Caterpillars!" What an imagination!
