took the weekend off, now i'm back!

monday, again. while the lack of a post over the weekend may suggest that i was super busy, don't be fooled. saturday was spent running errands (alone! thanks e!) and i was the crazy one running around in flip flops when it was near 30 degrees, all for the sake of getting a pedicure. (but totally worth it. i heart pedicures and don't get them nearly often enough.) that afternoon, belly, bulilit and i joined their grandma for a baby shower of a high school friend, who coincidentally lives down the street from my mom. at said baby shower, belly and bulilit were eating non. stop. and bulilit made a little friend who she liked to poke and touch and hug, despite the poor little girl's complaints.

my parents graciously offered to watch the kids on sunday so e and i could have some real child-free time off. nothing beats a movie on the lovesac and delicious fried goodness from arby's.


other random things i'm thankful for, in general...

-belly is off the pacifier!! and thankfully, the process was a lot less painful than i was anticipating. after the first couple nights, she stopped even asking for it. now on to weaning from the bottle...

-bulilit is potty training! (yes, bulilit, the little one, and not my almost 3 year old.)

-belly is pretty much sleeping in her own room. i've told her that if she wakes up, she can come into our room, but to try and stay in her room and fall asleep first. so one night last week, i had been asleep for maybe an hour when i open my eyes and see belly, standing on the stool next to the bed staring at me. would've been totally creepy if it wasn't my daughter!

-bulilit letting me cuddle with her over the weekend. she's not normally a cuddly child, much less malambing than belly, so whenever she lets me, i take advantage of hugging her and squeezing her and loving her forever! (ten points if you know where that's from. or you can just follow the link and find out)

-movies with ryan reynolds. haha.

-starbucks grande skim latte. yum.
