I know that by late October I will be thinking back to these hot summer days and wondering what in the world we did every day so here is where I will give entirely too much detail about our day. If you decide not to read it I do not blame you. We aren't all that exciting unless you consider drinking coffee until 10 every morning exciting. In which case we would be best friends.
(I started this post about 3 weeks ago so lets pretend the days are correct)
We have finally trained Reese to sleep in which hasn't been as great as I had expected. Monday morning she slept until 9:15 which was great because I got up at 7 and almost had her room cleaned out and organized (one of my goals for the summer) by the time she was up. (I LOVE it when I beat her up because I can actually get something done). (When I went back and read that sentence it sounded like I physically beat her up, but y'all know what I mean.) However, she DID NOT take a nap ALL DAY LONG. Does my use of capital letters show you how this didn't make for the best afternoon at our house?
Jolie (better known as "Joey/Goalie) stayed with us last night and today which means I have basically had a free day because when Jolie is around Reese is not concerned with her momma. And who would want their boring old momma when you've got this.....?????
I guess we can call it her first real spend the night party since we let her sleep in the floor with Jolie instead of her bed.
It turned out to be the best day of Reese's whole life because Addison also came over to play. She had her 2 favorite people in one location.
Later that same week we went shopping with Allison and Addison.
Addison was kind enough to let Reese play in her hair while we shopped. (Yes, we own our very own stroller, but they are much happier riding together.) Plus when they are not in the same stroller/buggy they try to crawl over the buggies to get together which leads to Addison falling out on her head in Hobby Lobby. You better believe that we got some ugly looks from the older generation of ladies that stood nearby. For the record Addison was not injured (too bad) and once we realized she was okay all we could do was laugh. Because we are mature like that:)
We have also spent a lot of time in the kitchen this summer. Reese loves to reorganize the silverware.
And, of course, we've spent time at the pool. The only problem with the pool is that she doesn't get a nap on those days which leads to a ton of drama in the late afternoon. She jumps straight off the diving board without blinking an eye.
I am pretty sure she is tired of me because she gets so excited when her daddy comes home. (When she was a tiny baby I thought she looked just like him, but recently I had started to think she was looking a little more like me. THEN I saw this picture and oh my goodness I don't see me at all!)
I took her to MeeMaw's one afternoon so I could cut the grass. As I was leaving she pushed open the screen door and said, "go momma go." See? Tired of me.
Her first cooking lesson....
We went to the mall with DD and I remembered seeing kids riding in those car strollers. I knew that would be a hit. $3 later I was right. She LOVED it. It was the best shopping trip I've had since before her birth mainly because she wasn't hanging on my leg begging me to hold her.
We have also spent some quality time with the pups. (P.S. We do own clothes for her, but she prefers only a diaper. I hope we break that habit within the next 2 weeks.)
Potty training is in our immediate future. Or so I hope. Every time she tee tees just a little she takes her diaper off, goes and gets me another one, and says "clean clean." She does use her potty, but consistency is our problem.
So to sum up our summer I will say that....I have no idea where it went! It seems to go by faster every year, and I'm sure that won't change. I will be so sad to go back to work, but on the contrary I think she will be so happy to go back to daycare and play with her friends.
If you need me next week I'll be sitting around being lazy with big plans of cleaning my house one last time. Plans that will inevitably not come to pass:)
