AHHHhhhhhh......

Warmer weather has come our way at last. Happily, there is more time spent out-of-doors. Jessica loves the dirt and the dirt loves her. Sometimes they are quite inseparable! It takes a good soaking for them to part ways. This evening I tried using Cetaphil on her little face. (It's supposed to be super duper gentle.) I stood behind her and had her lean her head back on me. I gently rubbed it around; a little facial if you will. "AHHhhh... Ahhhhhhh.....this is the life!" she said, "I only need a juicy steak!" No doubt who her daddy is!

Selectively Mean Mom

Today Jess had dance rehearsal for about 3 hours. It was a little crazy. It was also during dinner time so she was sure she would starve right to death! To make it even worse, I had to pick up a few things at the grocery store on the way home. I told her before we went in that we would be eating at home tonight...don't howl for things. I broke down and let her pick out some ice cream for an after dinner treat. ( Like it really takes any persuading for me to buy ice cream! ) She started asking for things in the check out line. I told her no and no and no. She asked me how come I am such a mean mom. I always tell her because I practice. By the time we had gotten to the car she had forgotten about the lack of extra treats and was excited about having ice cream. I told her mean moms do not share ice cream. She told me I was only a mean Kit Kat mom, not a mean ice cream mom. It's a good thing she explained it to me or she wouldn't have gotten any!

Try These!

Yesterday a friend made the cutest little dress for Jess. She's got mad sewing skills. I went to the store to get some tights to go with it for Sunday. While I'm checking out tights and things, Jess is talking to me about something. She gets louder and louder so I turn around. She's waving a bright salmon colored lacy g-string thong thing and yelling " I want to try these!" I know she wouldn't even know where to "try" them and I wasn't about to tell her. She'd never believe me. If I were able to convince her, I'd never hear the end of it and neither would her kindergarten class! Ahhh, the tender sweet moments.
