Time Alone--WOW!

So, how much does my husband love me? He took Miss Lil off for a "date" at the local "Chik-A-LA" for nuggets and some playtime and then off to do a bit of grocery shopping. Why, you may ask? Well, because I needed a shower and some alone time. He didn't ask me if I needed this, he just assumed I did, bundled up the Bit and headed out the door. They were gone for two hours and it was so so sweet. I'm hoping they had as good a time as I had. :o)


These photos of Miss Bit were taken last night after out bath. She and I had a swim in "mommy's tub" and then did nails when we got out. We also used Mommy's special "green wotion" (B&BW Coconut Lime Verbena) and then Lily traipsed off to get her "jah-mas". She returned with this ensemble: monkey jammies top, blue flowered jamma pants and the "hat". Nice, huh? It sure did make Brien and me grin. :o)


I discovered something fairly strange last night--I've been parting Lil's hair on the wrong side. Huh? How is that possible and how did I figure it out? Well, I had been parting it on the left (right side as you look at her) because that is the direction of her crown swirl and the location of the crown. I assumed (obviously erroneously) this should be where her hair parted. However, no matter how hard I worked to keep her hair out of her face, it always seemed to fall back in it. Then, after naps, her hair would sort of fall from a part on the right and stay out of her face. Odd, but worth looking into I thought. So, last night after her bath, I parted her hair on the right (like me--go figure) and her hair has been out of her face without the use of "hair bones" all day. Yay! I'm just glad I figured this out now and not when she's a teenager, having fought with a part all her childhood...

In other news, it is official, Lily most definitely has MY temper. :sigh: She get extremely angry with me today and swung at me as she shouted, "I'm wooking for my bear!!" Of course, this was after I had gone upstairs to put her back in her room for the fortieth time so we were both a little frustrated with each other at this point. Needless to say, Miss Thing was in quite a bit of trouble over that little stunt and we have once again had a lecture (I would say "conversation", but well, Lil listened and didn't much respond) about appropriate behavior. I understand getting frustrated and I understand the desire to have ones own way. However, she needs to learn more appropriate outlets for it. Being two is hard, but being a parent sure is harder!!

Today's Sparklies:

1. Home alone for TWO hours! Thank you, Sweetie! :o)
2. Sour patch kids. :shudder: I just LOVE 'em. :shudder: Although, just thinking of them makes my mouth water and me :shudder: shudder. Hee hee!
3. I got to play with my "Fresh Cuts" stamp set and cards today. I'm hoping they will be selling the cards in the new catalog and that these aren't just a promotional item, as I've fallen in love with the simplicity of the card. :o) You can see them if you scroll to the next post.
4. Family and friends.
5. The fun little tree frog who was hanging out on the sidelight last night. I could see its little tummy and finger and toe pads. It was so cool!
6. The story Melissa shared in her comments last night. Thank God, Melissa, that's all. Thank the Lord.


No milestones.
