She’s about a week old and is still with her Mommy but we can’t wait to welcome her home in July!

Wyatt (20 mos) demanded to sit on the potty today, promptly tee-teed, and beamed with pride. It’s probably the fifth time he has ever sat on the potty, which has only ever been prompted by him asking to do so. Heidi immediately scowled at the cheering for him. Nothing wrong with a little healthy competition, Heidi!

So…Heidi wanted me to sing her a song tonight while putting her to bed. I chose “You are My Sunshine” and she sang along for the first line. As I sang “You make me happy”, she sang, keeping the tune, “sing another song.” She then giggled.

P.S. If you haven’t heard, we’re getting a puppy!

For each child, some days, events, hours, even minutes should be all about them, right? You know, center-of-the-universe moments? This was one of Heidi’s. Mike and I both attended, leaving Wyatt with Miss Catherine in order to give Heidi our undivided attention, something she rarely gets since welcoming Wyatt when she was just 14 months old. It was fun and we obviously adore our little show stealer!

The Easter Bunny came!

Off to church to celebrate!

Granny, I can see you!

Let the egg hunt begin!

Little cousins.

Big cousins. It’s hard to look at the camera with all of this candy as a distraction.

Death to the chocolate bunny! 😉

Strawberry picking!

Some people just wake up cool.

Fancy!

Child of the Day at Preschool! See her chosen “toy” for show and tell?! See Mommy’s handiwork on that poster of family pics?

Love my little Wyatt! This morning he was looking at the Stein Mart mailer, pointed at this picture and said very lovingly, “Momma!”

Me: “I need a kiss.”
( No response. )
Me: “Who is gonna give me a kiss?”
Heidi: “Bubba will.”

Thank goodness he did or I’d have been one sad Mommy!

That’s what Heidi said when she heard the ice cream truck coming back around the corner.

We were in the backyard when we first heard the music. “You hear dat?” Heidi said. We ran to the front yard but missed it! Thankfully it would have to go back by our house to exit the neighborhood. We waited.

Neither of the kids have ever seen an ice cream truck before. To be honest, I’ve never had ice cream from an ice cream truck before. They don’t make it down rural dirt roads like the one I grew up on. 😦 I’ve lived in town for almost 15 years but still haven’t bought ice cream from an ice cream truck. Some things are just more exciting when you are a kid. As luck would have it, some things are more exciting when you have kids. 🙂 So when I heard the music I was thrilled to see the kids’ reactions when they realized where the music was coming from.

Now y’all know how social Heidi is. When she got to the truck she told the guy, “This is an ice cream truck.” His reply? “Ha, Ha. Thanks for letting me know!” In regards to the music playing, she looked at him and said, “Y’all singing a song?”

It was 5:30 PM. Dessert before dinner? Why not? It’s not every day you have your first ice cream from an ice cream truck!

THUMBS UP!

“I finished my ice cream!”

Delish!

She LOVES butterflies…in person, on clothes, as an art project…you name it. This evening we found a tiny moth on the ground beside her swing. She was ecstatic! It stayed on her hand for a few minutes before flying away. A moth isn’t a butterfly? Didn’t matter to her! If my baby says “it’s a wittle tiny butterfly” then it is!
