Sayings

A few random things that I recall at this moment:

-Sunday night I was running on treadmill while Jim watched the girls. Mid-run, Jackie ran over to the gate (to keep out sneaky beagles and less intelligent goldens) and said excitedly "Mommy! We are watching a movie!!!" This always means Toy Story 1 or 2 bc they are the only legit movies the girls watch. We tried Little Mermaid last week and there was no interest... from the girls. I totally caught Jim singing along emphatically. Haha Anyway, I came into the room and the girls just looked so cozy and content that I wanted to stay in that moment forever. But alas...

-Monday morning we had Jackie sized for her flower girl dress. The lady was super foreign and outgoing so Hilly hid in my coat the entire time, which I love. Never get to see that side of my little adventurer. Jax was awesome and let the lady measure her. She even wore her finest plastic necklace from Wal-Mart. Jackie is a solid 2T, FYI.

-We then hit up Target for a few items and bc Jackie wanted to (she is well-trained). Walking the aisles she asked "What are we looking for?" I said "I am not sure." She responded "Be patient, Mommy." Haha. I tell her this 100x a day, so I was kind of psyched it sunk in. Kind of like when something not-awesome happens and she says "It happens." and moves along.

-Hilly has started to try to "change" her baby doll's diapers on the changing table in the playroom, load her ducky into the stroller and baby doll high chair lately.

-I let the girls "nap" together for 10 minutes yesterday (I knew they wouldn't- I just knew they'd have fun). Went in after 10 and Jackie said "But we were just laughing and going crazy in here!" umm, exactly. I walked in on Hilly attempting a somersault (and she was doing awesome, for the record).

-While Jax was at school yesterday, I found her baby diapers and napping snuggly in the baby doll crib and also a figurine cooking in the playhouse and another using a stool. Love examining playroom.

-Today I am taking both girls to a pregnancy doctor appt that I rescheduled 100x due to Jim's erratic work schedule. I am bringing umbrella stroller for H so she doesn't wreak havoc on the office. I am banking that I am not the first to have to drag 2 toddlers into the bathroom while giving a urine sample. I know you're jealous. This is going to be awesome. Especially if I get to wait 25 minutes for an appointment. Patience and silence happens to be one of H's strengths. Thankfully Grandpa and Nana hooked us up with a portable DVD. I do think Jackie will be fine and will love hearing the heartbeat, though.
