I Love my little comic!

A little bit of kindness

A few days ago Claire and I talked about getting a hair cut. I told her that sometimes when people get really sick, they loose their hair. I said I thought it would be nice if we could cut off some of her hair and donate it to a little girl who lost her hair. (Locks of Love) She seemed a little confused but said, "Yeah, I guess I could do that." Later that evening, she picked up one of her Care Bears and said, "Mommy, can we give this Care Bear to that little girl too?" I wasn't thinking about the conversation we had earlier and asked her what girl she was talking about. She said "You know, the one who lost her hair!" My heart was filled with pride as I listened to my little lady tell her Daddy that we NEEDED to give this bear to that little girl because it would make her feel better. I know I am not a perfect mother. Some days I question if I am even a mediocre one! But the one thing I hope to accomplish is to raise children who are KIND. They may not be the smartest, funniest or most beautiful (although, to me they will be!) but if they are KIND I will consider my work as a mother a true success. That, and if we make it through the teenage years without knocking each other out!

a little bit of technology

This is why Mommy only uses the computer when my boy is down for a nap! He is obsessed with the keyboard and mouse!

a little bit of Diego!

Instead of a party this year for our big 3 year old, we decided to take a special trip. We left little bro behind and headed west. We went to Tulsa to see DIEGO LIVE! If you don't have kids, you wouldn't understand how exciting this was! Steph, Scot and Drew went with us and we had a blast. As you can see, the Dads really got into it too!

a little bit of birthday fun

Nanny and Papa took Claire to her favorite places for her 3rd birthday last month. They went to Build-A-Bear and then to "Baby Red Birds" to eat dinner. (Red Robin) She picked out the Cat in the Hat and of course he had to be sporting a t-shirt and boxers as well as a lunchbox! So she will dress her stuffed animals but I can't keep clothes on the kid!! As you can see she had a great birthday with her Nanny and Papa!

a little bit of "tweetness"

Claire found a baby bird on Saturday and it just sat on her shoulder forever! She was saying she was a pirate. AARRRGGGH!

a little bit of foam

Ahhh. The bath foam. We decided to make a tutu and a top for my little bathing beauty. It seemed like a good idea at the time. I questioned my sanity later when I had to clean the bathtub!
