Friday Funnies
Lately Reese has been pretty funny. And cute. But then again, she's always been cute. Here are a few of my favorite things she's done lately.
1. As we leave the house every morning she blows kisses to the dogs and tells them bye-bye. The other morning she kissed them bye but she put her hand to my mouth so I would blow them a kiss too. Then we went to Hobby Lobby where she saw a picture of a hook and pull rug with a dog on it on a banner hung from the ceiling. As we left the aisle she waved and blew kisses to the banner too. I'd say she has a thing for dogs.
2. Reese has been throwing things away left and right. I've seen everything from dog food to hand towels. The other day I went to throw away my dental floss and noticed a five dollar bill. Guess she thought we wouldn't be needing that!
3. We found a new baby stroller for Reese the other day. She loves pushing babies around and was just so thrilled by the new toy. By Tuesday she was pretty bored with it though. She wasn't content anymore just pushing it, instead she demanded that I get up and push it. And as if that wasn't enough she sat down on the floor and watched me push her baby stroller around.
4. Dustin and Reese have a lot of tickle fights and do some of the rough stuff that daddies do with kids. They were on the bed and every time she went to get up he would gently knock her down and they'd laugh. After 5-6 times Reese decided she'd had enough. She stood up and made the sign for "all-done." Guess that works other places besides the dinner table!

Tushy Tuesday
Sunday we took Reese to the park. Before we left, Reese had lunch and then a little bit (okay, a lot) of macaroni and cheese ended up all over her shirt and in her hair so we had to give her a wardrobe change. I ent ahead and changed her diaper too but I guess I didn't get it on correctly. Her little tushy was hanging out pretty bad and we didn't notice it until she was toddling up the stairs of the slide. That poor girl!

Happy Mother's Day!
Yesterday was Rock Star Day at school. We are having a Science Week and yesterday we were celebrating the rock cycle. So Rock Star attire it was. It was so much fun seeing the different interpretations of what a Rock Star meant to everyone. Apparently, my version of a Rock Star was a little on the Cyndi Lauper side. But I can't help it if I think black eyeliner, dangly earrings, big hair and a C.F.M. boots represent Rock Stars. To make a long story short, I looked a little wild.
In my wild rock representation style, I stopped off at Hallmark to get cards for all my loved ones for Mother's Day. I felt a little ridiculous and I wanted to scream, "Don't worry, I'm teaching your children in this getup!" But I didn't.
Apparently Rod's Hallmark is having a gigantic 40% off sale. The store was stripped completely clean of Mother's Day cards. Not a one in the place. I'm a card person and I was pretty bummed because I knew I'd never make it to another Hallmark to get cards in time to get them mailed for Sunday.
So here's my card. It is my favorite poem and I think it makes a lot of sense with a lot of people and situations. It's beautiful and it sums up the sentiment of mothers. We carry our children's heart with us. Wherever we go, we are never alone because there they are filling us with love and happiness. We smile at the thought of their sleepy heads at bedtime and their little diaper butt running for blankies. We melt at their smiles and giggles and do everything in our power to get them to laugh over and over. When kids get older mother's roles change, they become friends. But a mother is always a source of comfort, big or small, and they always carry the hearts of a child in theirs.

The Library
I love to go to the library. Mostly because they have free books there. But they also have great recommendations. I especially like their reading programs and fun stuff for kids. Reese is going to sign up for their summer reading program and we will probably hit up a lot of story hours this summer since she is a little older.
Last night we made a trip to kill some time before bed. I had lost my card and Reese's books were getting boring so off we went. We got a new card and then we went back to the children's section to browse. Reese was in heaven! She looked at books, she played with the stuffed animals, she put together a puzzle, it was the best. Until.....
Oh yes, until. There is always an until when one has a toddler. And here is mine. Reese was great until she very publicly pooped her pants. Publicly. Loudly. Turning the head's of strangers. She turned red-faced and grunted right there in the children's section. People on the computers kept looking over at her because she was so loud. I could've sunk into the floor.
Since we were just quickly running to the library, I didn't bring a diaper bag. That was a smart move. So I quickly got our books, ran out the door and cleaned her up at home. All was well, I just will never forget the night my kid pooped at the library.
