our day to day

Josie pretends she is two if she only wants to eat two more bites of dinner. She pretends she is five if she wants five treats. It's not uncommon that she changes her age for work in her favor. The other day she came upstairs and said, "mom I'm pretending to be 18, so I can have a baby, I'm a mom and I have a purse". I said, "well when your 18 you can have a purse but I sure hope you don't have a baby and besides your hair is sure a mess to be 18". So she immediately needed to fix her hair, and then of course her make-up.

This is what she came up with. See how pretty, she even did her babies make-up. When she first came up the stairs my heart sank a little that she wanted to be 18, she is already growing up too fast I don't even want to think about her being 18. By the time she was finished with her hair and make-up I was over the heart brake and quite convinced that if she is doing hair and make-up like this when she is 18 she will be spending most of her weekends at home anyhow.

I just had to take a picture. These are two of my favorite people, I don't ever want to forget this stage. They fight like crazy but they also play together so good. I just love them; pajamas, Cowboy boots, guns, and all. 

Drama. drama. I told Trig we were going to get in the tub while I took his clothes off. Then I quickly mentioned I was going to cut his hair before he got in the tub. Total Melt Down. He climbed up on the changing table and yelled 'NO' then bawled and yelled 'NO' and bawled more, he wouldn't look at me. He hates to get his hair cut, he always has. I finally scooped him up, cut his hair, bathed him, and we all moved on.

My was telling my mom the other day I'm scared to have another baby because I'm going to miss Trig being my baby. I just love him so much. She said, "maybe its a good thing so you don't ruin him". That was such a good comment, since then I realize that is exactly what I'm doing. It's is so hard not to I just love him. I love when he is naughty and I love when he is just pure boy. The other day I turned the corner and found him putting money down the heat vent. I should have spanked him but instead I took a picture. Two things tickled me about this. He was stealing the money from Josie's 'very special' princess wallet, so he defiantly knew he was taking a big risk. And when he heard my camera snap he just looked up at me, raised his eyebrows, and slowly grinned.
