This Girl Can Work It!!

L came home from school and ran straight to her room. Next time I saw her, this is what she looked like! And, YES, she left the house like this--W had soccer practice. I am certain that if anybody can pull this look off, that person is most definitely Lauren!

William's Words

Let me start this by explaining that L has a ton of jewelry she plays dress up in that belonged to her Great Neenee. She LOVES the jewelry and wears pieces daily...and she also leaves pieces all over the floor. William found a ring on the floor that "looks" like a gold ring with 3 or 4 diamonds. The conversation went like this:
W: Is this an engagement ring?
J: No, it's just a play ring
W: Do you have an engagement ring?
J: Yes, do you want to see it?
W: yes
(we go to my room and I pull out my wedding set)
W: you get two
J: Well, one is an engagement ring and the other is a wedding ring. I wore them when I was married. Maybe you can have them when your old enough to get married.
W: Yeah, when I'm like 10

Who's been sleeping in my bed?!

Well, nobody until this afternoon! Until this afternoon, Lauren's bed has been an exam table, changing table, napping place for her babies, storage for her animals...anything except a place where she sleeps. All that changed this morning when she saw her new bedding. I made it all yesterday but, she only saw little pieces until this morning when it was all put together. L insisted on napping in her bed. Well, who am I to stand in her way! And so, she naps in her bed for the first time in, well, years!

Sweet Moments





L was patiently waiting for us to leave for dance class. She was finally able to finish "Enchanted" after about 4 or 5 days and the movie credits music was on...W and L always consider this to be dance time. L sweetly danced with her little baby while the music played. The video is a little grainy, no really sure why, but still super cute and sweet.



Stister


Now you may think that says SISTER but, you would be mistaken. Stister is not a familial relationship, it is a proper noun. Stister does originate from sister as L has been called sister ever since I knew she was a girl. She is still called sister today. L really, really enjoys role play. She can be anyone from Alice (in Wonderland) to Cinderella to Mommy and whatever else falls in between those titles. When she is playing "mommy" her playmate is always Stister. The playmate should definitely refer to themselves as Stister. The funny thing about role play with L is you never know what character she is going bring to playtime.

Oh, Momma got ya this

"Oh, Momma got ya this" is what L said to Zoe in her very prissy way, tilting her head just so. She piled all of Zoe's toys around while Zoe sat so patiently and let L play.

Starting 2011--part 4

If W had any favorite moment it was this...the guy at the bottom of the "seesaw" was launched into the air and he did a back flip into the chair. Once he landed in the chair it backfired...W just cracked up!
