Miss E was supposed to be sleeping. I kept hearing clapping, so I went to investigate.
This is what I discovered..
(*note- turn your volume on, there is no actual video, just listen to it!)


Apparently, she was singing her take on the alphabet song and pausing to say YAY and give herself a bit of applause.
Silly kid!

I'm a winner!

My company has all sorts of annual surveys/evaluations/forums/et cetera. Usually there is a raffle or some sort of door prize.

I won a portable DVD player! Sweet!

ADHD Survival Tip #1

1. Don't forget that you're lactose intolerant and eat large quantities of lactose-laden Macaroni and Cheese.

Happy Mother's Day!

Miss E brought me a Jodi Picoult book and she even signed her name on the card!
She has excellent handwriting for her age, I must say ;)


Happy Mother's Day to all :)

What the Hail?

It hailed again yesterday! Slightly bigger, but it didn't do any damage and it didn't stick around long.

I better not keep writing. Little Miss E is eating oatmeal with her hands and she's looking tempted to throw.

Let the talking begin

Miss E is just shy of 20 months.
I've gotten a ton of new words out of her lately! Here is her dictionary/translator for all the ones I can remember. There are a few I can't.

Starting with her very first-
Ki-ka - Kitty Cat
Mama
Uh Oh
NANANA- No NO NO NO
Nana- Banana
Paaapa- Grandpa
Gama- Grandma
Tay Oo- Thank you
Eeeyo- Here you go
Eeeeuh- Eva
Eeeeeup- Clean up
Hi
Bobbles- Waffles
Whee
Bye
Baa- Ball
Du- Duck
EIEIO
Mamo- More (milk, usually)
Etel- Ethel (cat)
Sessy stee- Sesame Street

And apparently, DO IT!!! when grandma threatened to spank her. She gets that from me.

Edit: Adding "Shoes" and "Noe" (nose), "baper" (paper).
Amy, good luck. She's quite stubborn. No idea where she gets it.

Poor, poor, pitiful me

I have strep throat. Miss E just got over pink eye and a stomach bug, and has developed a gnarly cough.
Feel sorry for me!
