First off, don't worry, the Bear is not sick. She is obsessed with blowing her nose, runny or not. She politely asks for toilet paper and then she wads it up and blows her nose. Sometimes she will tell us that it is "ucky" and throw it away. Usually, she will carry it around for a while. I guess it is much better than having a kiddo with snot always on their face!
Kayleigh loves Elmo and figured out that he is on her Pampers. Well, to save money I bought Walmart brand last time. Now everytime I change her she grabs the diaper and pathetically says "Elmo Bia-per (diaper)." Talk about making me feel horrible about switching to generic!
I took the Bear out yesterday to see the daffodils (yes, I am obsessed). I showed her how to smell the flowers and say mmmmm..... She did really good until...
Yeah, that right. She started ripping them apart and telling me that they were trash. I (of course) got upset and just told her to sit in the chair with them and look pretty for a picture. This is the look I got. Eeshhhh...
I found this sprouting up in the back yard. Does any one know what type of flower it is? Is it a tulip? Do you think there is anything I need to do to "take care" of it?
I had a birthday this weekend. It was the best one that I have had in years! Usually, I have to spend it at work.... but this year I spent it at the happiest place on Earth (no, not Disney) ... WACO! My mom, Kayleigh and I met Jen and Glenn, Lee, Kristy and Price, and Molly at Bush's for a birthday lunch. Afterwards, we went to the playground to let the kiddos run themselves crazy (pictures tomorrow). The night of we went to La Fiesta and had a girl's only slumber party at the Boyd's house. I loved getting to see my family and friends on my actual birthday!
And are you wondering what Sean gave me? Exactly what I asked for.... and let me tell you this is the BEST toothbrush EVER!
Well, we had a long day. Sean was at church all day (with his phone off), so I had the Bear alone. We ran a few errands and came home. When we got home, I ran the dogs outback to go potty. I usually take the Bear, but this time I left her inside (yeah, you can see where this is going.) Don't call CPS, I could see her up against the sliding glass door the whole time. Well, she picked up the stick that we keep in the track so no one can break in and she put it back in the track..... locking herself in the house. My heart dropped. I jumped over the fence (haven't done that in 15 years) and ran next door. After the neighbors and I tried to get her to pick it up, we had to resort to calling the fire department. An hour and a half after she put the stick in, I had the Bear in my arms. Don't worry, she wasn't too upset. She found her bowl of Goldfish and ate them while she watched the firefighters. I feel like a horrible, awful, no good, very bad mom. I cried, hugged her, and then made sure I got a quick picture for the blog.

Here are the words that the Bear has been using in the correct context lately:
My mom seriously makes the best cinnamon rolls ever. I only get them once a year at Christmas. Long story short, I had my wisdom teeth out 2 days before Christmas and so I couldn't eat my share, so I hid a pan of them. Sounds like I have been around this guy too long!
I don't know why we continue to buy this child toys, all she plays with are shoes. I thought these looked funny! She is very talented, she can put them right side up and step into them. She does not need any help! Then she walks around the house. I will have to get a picture of her wearing Sean's boots, they make me giggle everytime.
The Bear ate her entire breakfast this morning sitting at her little table. I just can't believe how my baby is growing up. 
Kayleigh Bear is so serious all the time. I finally got a cute little grin out of her after nap time today!
