Unexpected Milestone

So yesterday I was upstairs putting away laundry. I had left my little girls watching the Incredibles downstairs. While I was upstair I heard a kitchen drawer close and some movement. I didn't hear any screaming or yelling or crying so I continued to put clothes away. Soon after, I went downstairs only to find Charlotte sitting at her activity table enjoying a yo baby yogurt with her spoon and Jessica hanging out in the kitchen nibbling on her string cheesestick. Charlotte proceeded to tell me how she went into the fridge and got herself a yogurt and then got a spoon. While she was in the fridge, she figured she'd get Jessica a cheesestick to snack on, opened the wrapping for Jess, and then sat down to enjoy her yogurt...... I was surely not expecting any of this....thus, the Unexpected Milestone =).

Floor Puzzles

So I was over at my friend Christine's and came across another neat find for my older daughter Charlotte........Floor Puzzles. They are for the 3 year-old age and up...very cool. I bought mine from Amazon. You can just search on "floor puzzles". We have the dinosaur one and farm theme. They are both a lot of fun to do together. It's always nice when you can find activities to do together that are enjoyable. I love watching her put the pieces together.

Poo Poo Play Dough

So this morning I was with my 2 girls chillin'. We went to the park and then they were chilling with their favorite movie, The Incredibles. Jess, my younger one, came up to me and started saying chee chee (our word for yuckeeez) and held out her hand. As she got closer, I thought...surely not what I think it could be...It was a wadded piece of dookie with bits of corn and carrots in it.....yyyyyuuuuucccckkk!!! Words cannot describe my disgust...

Floor Puzzles

I just returned from a morning playdate and lunch with a good friend of mine who lives nearby. We always seem to discover new things from each other, which is great. She introduced me to the world of Floor Puzzles...perfect for 3 year-olds. I will definitely be ordering some soon from amazon.

Sad Stories

So I recently heard 2 really depressing stories. One was from a friend of mine about her old neighbor who has a 2 year-old son. The neighbor and her family were at the beach and noticed that their son was acting very lethargic and irritated. They took him into the Urgent Care. The doctors did some bloodwork only to find out that their son has Leukemia. What in the world!!!! How can this be????? My heart and prayers go out to him and his family. I cannot imagine that, nor do I want to.

The other incredibly sad and disturbing story that I heard was about a San Antonio woman who decapitated her 3 week-old baby boy and ate part of her brain. Oh and then bit off 3 of his toes!!!!! So the voices in her head told her to do this.....???? I'm speechless....
