- I finished another book last night! Totally Desperate Mom by Wendy Hagen (I read her blog also)....good and sometimes laugh out loud funny. So nice to be able to relate to other moms and know that we all go thru the same things, even though sometimes you feel that you are all alone in what you go thru. However, this book was a bit on the religious side. Not that I don't have faith or believe in God and I do appreciate her outlook and spirituality but there are only so many bible verses I can read. Still, it was short and sweet and totally relateable (is that a word?)!
- My mom made a peach pie this weekend, it is my absolute favorite. I can't get enough. Now, if I could only get her to make me one every week!
- Presley is funny, I don't think she means to be most of the time. As any normal 3 year old they ask questions and sometimes you don't even think about the answers! We were watching Olympic wrestling yesterday and I said that we were going for the guy dressed in blue, she asked why. I said 'well, he lives where we do' (meaning the United States) and she looked at me and said 'in an apartment?' Not quite, but how in the world do you explain states and the United States to a 3 year old. She knows she lives in Iowa and that we went to Texas, but that is her knowledge of 'states'!
- She also notices things that you don't really think about. When we were in Okoboji, I was drinking an Odouls and she looked at me and said 'mommy, babies can't have beer!'. Oops! I had to explain that it was fake beer...real good example mom!
And we were talking about cousins, aunts and uncles and I said something about Aunt Roxanne being Devins mommy. And she said to me that Devin didn't have a daddy! They got divorced a couple years ago and P doesn't know so I tried then to explain how Devin does have a daddy he just isn't around all the time and how mommy's and daddy's aren't always together. Another conversation, that is just too hard to have with a 3 year old! (which I'm sure will only be increasing as the years go on!)
- Normally when she eats peas she says they make her strong (as she flexes) and today she said that strawberries are good for her body! Not sure where she heard that, but ok! Love it!
