A New Trick

Last night while my husband and I were getting our daughter ready for bed she discovered something. She can take off her pajama bottoms all by herself. The only problem is she can't get them back on. So she spent the better part of 10 minutes running around the apartment in her diaper and pajama top waving her pants in the air. She must have really been impressed with herself. Oh and after I showed her how to put them back on she insisted on pulling them up herself, and thus letting her back side hang out of her pants. There is never a dull moment with this child.

Way to Go!

I have to brag about my husband for just a second. Yesterday he won a research prize at his school for the research he did over the summer! He got a pretty blue ribbon and a plaque with his name on it and everything. He also gets a little bit of money which is nice seeing as we're in lots of debt for medical school and he impressed the head of the research department so much he offered my husband to spend a whole year doing research! Granted it would take an extra year to graduate, but it's still very flattering. I'm so proud. He's a pretty great guy and not only because he wins prizes.

My daughter has found her new favorite word, no. She says no to everything. I'll ask her for a hug, no. I'll ask her if I can do her hair, no. I'll ask her if she me to read to her, no. I'll ask her if she needs her diaper changed, no (this usually isn't true because I can smell her across the room). I'll ask her if she wants a treat, YES. At least I know she understands. Now the trick is getting her to say yes to more than just a treat. I don't think its going to happen anytime soon.

A Really Long Night

Two nights ago my daughter decided it would be lots of fun to get up 5 (yes 5) times in the middle of the night. Now I'm used to getting up several times a night to go to the bathroom. I have baby number two to thank for that, but its entirely different to be woken up to MAMA! MAMA! over and over again. After that I decided mine and her bedrooms are WAY too close together. This place needs thicker walls. Luckily for every ones well being she slept like a rock last night so I could as well. Granted that may have to more to do with the fact I took benedryl before bed.

This is funny

Yesterday morning I was asking my husband if he had showered yet. He didn't really smell or anything like that but he just looked like he needed a shower. Anyways, after I asked him I also asked our 20 month old daughter if he needed a shower. I kid you not these were her exact words, "Dada stinky." It was so funny. She's a lot smarter than we give her credit for or at least has a better sense of smell than we do.

Dress Up

Most little girls love to play dress up. My daughter and niece are no exception. Today they played dress up and had a blast. The only difference was that they weren't exactly wearing dresses. They dressed up in my old basketball uniform. The one thing I've learned over the past 19 months of having a child is you work with what you have. They don't seem to mind anyways.
