Catching up!!

I've started posts a few different times now and never been able to finish. This may turn out to be a complete mess of a post, you know, a little of this and that.

Ayla is back at full strength. Her nose is still runny but I expect that it will be until she's 6 or so. She's also started requesting medicine...lovely I know! She'll say "Runny nose mama, need mines medicine" I may just have a little hypochondriac in the making, NO idea where she'd get that from *rolls eyes* As sad as it is, I've started giving her vitamin to her before nap. She thinks it's her medicine and that way she'll go to sleep and not carry on about how sick she is!

******Ayla's funnyisms******

Ayla's also been quite hilarious lately. The other day I was walking up from the basement with laundry and I could hear her scolding one of our dogs. She was saying "No, Boss" and "Time out, Boston" When I got up to the dining room there she was, holding Boston by the collar in HER timeout spot. I asked her what was going on and she explained that Boston was in time out. I asked why and she said that "Boss hit me." Seriously!? Wow, now even my dog hits when I'm not looking. Who needs more kids, right?

Two nights ago, I was in the kitchen making cupcakes. Ayla and Darren were playing and I didn't mention to either one what I was doing.....they BOTH would have been at my feet wanting to lick the spoon! When I turned the mixer on, Ayla heard it and came running in. She asked "What making now mommy?" I told her cupcakes. She gets this huge smile and says "Oh, good job mommy!!" Obviously we don't make these types of sweet treats very often.

Today I decided to put Ayla's Valentine's Day outfit on her to take some fun pictures to use for V-day cards. She has the cutest little dress from BabyGap - it has matching tights and shoes and we did red bows for her hair. It really is adorable. Anyway, I get her dressed, grab the camera and then thought 'Hmm, I wonder is she should go potty first?' She says no and then proceeds to squat right in front of me, start peeing and says "I pee my pants". God love her. So I handwash the tights, throw them in the dryer and 45 minutes later we're ready for take 2! We did get a few cute ones though. She wasn't exactly being cooperative until the end when I bribed her with a popsicle. Yes, I am THAT kind of mother.
