My Little Mommy

Taking care of our kids is a very busy job. Laina is constantly putting her babies(mostly Lambie and the cat) to bed, and cooking in the kitchen and giving them medicine because they are sick and telling us to "shush" with her finger at her lips because they are sleeping, etc. She received two beautiful cradles for her birthday, one from her Grampa and Gramma, and one from her "Auntie" Kristin. She loves and uses them both and needs them because she has lots of babies. She just got a new Lambie, in hopes that she would retire the old one but she won't, when she was smaller we could just tell her that Lambie had a "Super Tubbie" and she'd be psyched, now she is onto our tricks. Lately, she has been bringing her stepstool all over the house so she "helps" me in the kitchen. I'll post a couple pictures of her doing that, and playing with her cradles too.
One morning I told her that we had the day off together and asked her what she'd like to do and she looked up at me with a totally serious, and hopeful face and asked..."how about going to a monkey parade?" Her imagination is on full speed all the time. She is also going into a kindergarten once a week, not because of her genius(although of course we think she is brilliant!), but because her Day Caregiver, Nancy does something at a school once a week and takes her along. She loves it and we like that she is getting a "sneak peek" into school. Her vocabulary is amazing us everyday, and not always the way we want. I took her to see the big waves at a local beach after a storm and she looked and said "Oh My God!" very loudly when she saw them. Could be worse so we all try and curb our "potty-mouths" so she won't mimic us. Sorry about the whole month going by between blogging!
