Kids Say....

These are some of the things that have been being said around our house. Probably not that out of the ordinary if you have a 3 1/2 year old so basically I don't want to forget these moments myself.

Discussing with Big Sis about going swimming and getting over our fear of going underwater... She describes what prep she needs before going underwater
"Mommy, I'm going to just close my eyes and hold my nose and HOLD MY BRAIN (breath)!!" All to go under water.

We had folding chairs in our living room after Baby Girls party that had our last name on the back. Big Sis spells what she sees, " D-E-A-N Mommy does that say chair?"

Dog sitting for my parents and Big Sis discussing how the dogs are barking in the yard. Big sis, "When the dog see something in the backyard the are roofing (barking) at it." It actually took me awhile to realize what she was talking about.


The dogs were with for about a week and I do have to say that Big Sis did a good job taking care of them. It made me think we should get one for her, but even though she might be ready for a dog, I'M NOT ready. Maybe some day that will happen at the same time.

Dog Parade

Good friends of ours that live in Soulard have been gracious enough to have us over every year for the dog parade. It has become a family traditon and we try and capture how our family has changed each year. Every year it is a good time to start off the Mardi Gras season that now that we have children they can join us.

Baby Girl got the top view this year although I don't think she payed much attention to the dogs but none the less she was along for the family tradition. In the years to come it will be fun to continue and see how her interest grows.

Big Sis and I were down front getting beads and treats from all the dogs and owners all dressed up. It is amazing how much attention you get when you have a cute little girl with you. There was man next to us giving everything he caught. So alot of candy, 3 stuffed animals and many necklaces later Big Sis was a happy girl.
Oh Yeah... and there were dogs there. It was fun to show Big Sis the great danes and other huge dogs because when they walk by these dogs were still taller than her.
