The First (and Last) Bath.

I know I am creating a complex for Madison that will follow her all of her days. Since she is our last (hopefully) I tend to get a little sentimental over everything she does. The last time I'll bring a baby home from the hospital, care for a newborn, roll over, sit up etc, etc. Well today was the last time I will give a baby their first bath in the big tub. Ahhhh, she was so stinking cute. She spent a good five minutes just looking around the bathroom. Then she spent the rest of the time trying to figure out why the toys kept moving around her. We had a few slips but no spills. Grace never seemed to notice she was there at all. She was busy with her new tub crayons from Santa. So after almost 5 full years, the baby tub will not sit on top of the refrigerator anymore. I guess I should finally get around to cleaning up there now that I have nothing to hide the dirt.

Hey good lookin', whatcha got cookin'

Last night Grace dragged a chair over to the counter so she could look at the cookbook. That girl loves the kitchen.

One topping pizza

Kendall earned a pizza coupon from school for reading. It wasn't a "Book It" coupon like days of old so don't start walking down memory lane just yet. I told her she gets a one topping pizza for reading a book every night last month. She gave me the strangest look but then just walked away. She came back a few minutes later and told me "Mom, daddy can have my pizza coupon, I don't want it. I have never seen a talking pizza and I don't think I want to." I cracked up because I knew right away. She had heard "one talking" not "one topping". When I explained what a topping was she seemed to feel a lot better.

Cookie Monsters

The girls and I made sugar cookies this morning and they had a blast. Grace kind of had her own thing going on as you can see from her picture. Kendall had no help from me and she did pretty well. The decorated cookies pictured are hers.

Stereo naughtiness.

I've got one toddler at one end of the house kicking her foot against the wall and singing some song that I can only title "This song will probably drive my mom crazy so I'll sing it.". She's suppose to be taking a nap. I've got a baby on the other end of the house "talking" up a storm in her bed. I think she might be having a fight with the animals hanging from her mobile. She's not crying, but her tone is very displeasing. I actually think one of the animals that hangs on her mobile irritates her. I don't think she likes the little blue lion that hangs down. I don't blame her. Since when our lions blue? Nice message to kids Graco company.
