Sunday…..got up and dressed myself first! Then woke Isabella and bathed her, dressed her in her pretty new dress. She was very tired…went to bed at 12:00, little night owl…but sleeped very well!!! She did not mind the dress, but the socks and shoes are a different story.
We went and picked up Cayla and Cayden and headed to Sunday School. They made it about 30 minutes before they came and got us. We went right on up to the nursery, they are both at that age.
Next, out to eat. Next, took the tow C’s home. They fell asleep before we could get there. Next, home sweet home! Isabella played and then took another nap. Next, take her to her other G-ma’s house. Next, come back and rest!
It was a great, busy weekend and oh by the way……I hate car seats!!! I mean, if you go around the block, you have to get back in the thing!!! I know they are best, but oh what a pain!!!
Guess who put in to spend the night after she got home from her Grannie’s, yep….Kylie!!!
Happy 27th to Cole and Josie!
Happy Birthday to the both of you!!!
Yes, Cole and Josie share the same birthday, same age!!! They had a little celebration with some of their friends….good friends and good food!!! Leah got their cake for them..camo of course! Josie worked really hard on the Happy Birthday banner along with the whole event and it turned out really cute and nice.
They had a low country boil and oysters! It was a fun evening and everyone enjoyed it!
We survived the night, she did pretty good. This morning we had to get up, go get some baby food, her shoes and a few other things. Decided she needed a new dress for tomorrow.
Target was the first stop…she did well, likes to squeal in the store. She smiled at everyone and they thought she was a doll…so do I! Next stop, the Children's Place---nothing, on to Belk's---nothing, (and you can not push a stroller in Belk's) on to pick up her shoes we ordered from Toads and Teacups, found a dress, socks and hair bow. I am ready go home and so is she!!!
Now she is napping!!! Sweet pea!
Isabella
Isabella is spending the weekend….oh boy. She has never stayed away from her parents over night!!! This should be interesting!
Today I meet Casey and Isabella for haircuts! Isabella did fine once again! After haircuts, I just took her with me so Mom could get ready to go!
First stop----dry cleaners.
Second stop----Aunt Cayla’s to pick up something. Played with Cayden and these two were to funny. They both want the same toys, they both want to be in MamaJ’s lap at the same time! They speak what they dis-like in their own grunt language!!! Isabella was standing at the door, looking out. Here comes little man….it was not enough just to stand beside her, he tried to get in front of her just a little by putting his leg in front of hers…too funny!!! But, he was very excited to see and play with her…he was so happy. Two funny and cute kids!!!
Next stop….drop off stuff at good will!
Next stop….Hobby Lobby! Bless her heart she had fallen asleep and I had to wake her, but she was so good!!! She loved riding in the buggy. She smiled, tried to get things off the shelf and squealed quite a bit! I told her to be quieter, she laughed and squealed again!!! I think she liked the echo she heard!!!
Next stop….home!!! She has walked many a mile today, tried to eat paper…I told her she was not a goat….she just smiled!!! She ate and drank, loved an ice pop. Took a nap, rode the golf cart…the only way I got her up from her nap…lol Papa rode her on the four-wheeler!
She got supper, a bath, loving from everyone and now went to sleep, around 9:40. She does not just fall asleep, she has flung her cloth diaper around, stood up, sat down, sat up, laid down, clapped her hands, sang, rolled, etc. Oh boy does she fight going to sleep!!! But she is a cutie!!!
Oh yes, she just does not quiet know what to think about Papa, she likes him when he rides her, when he is at his barn, but when he is in the house or our bed….she just does not understand that! She would not go see him in the bed….finally, I got beside him and said…this is my Papa!!! Well, that was all it took, she crawled right over and went to loving on him and then getting in between us!!! After that, she was just fine and continued to pester him as he slept! LOL!
She slept pretty good, but I know someone else who did not…lol!!!
Kylie--- Ky. spent the night one night this week. On the way home from swim lessons, she told me this had been the best day ever. I asked her, Why? She said, “Because we got to be together MamaJ!” She was like, well….do you have to ask! It was so sweet and made my heart just fill with love…..it will be way to soon before it won’t be this way, she will be too busy for older folks….I will treasure every moment!!!
Later that night we were watching a show she wanted to watch. I told her it was time for bed. She did get a few more minutes. Papa went to the den because he had his on show he wanted to watch. About the time I get her settled down, we hear him in the kitchen….then, she had to go to the bathroom. Now, she did not go to the one in our bedroom! No, she had to go to the one by the kitchen. I went to the door and hid and watched her.
She walked real slow watching her Papa, he did not have a clue she was out of bed. She went on to the bathroom, came out and stood over by the butcher block, where she could get a better view of what Papa was doing!!! He is still clueless!!!
Next he walks over to the toaster and is making toast, so I think! He has already been in the pantry and made his cereal. (She is not saying a word, just watching)
When he walks to the toaster, his back is turned to her….she walks on over to the counter where he was to check things out…..I am just giggling as I watch from behind the door. Finally, he sees her!!! They chat for a minute and she comes back to the room!
She said, “MamaJ, what is wrong with Papa?” (She is giggling!) “He was smashing up bread and putting it in the toaster????” I am like, who knows….get in this bed and go to sleep!!!
After she feel asleep I went into the kitchen and saw hotdog buns out and the bread box open. Then, it occurred to me that he thought we were out of bread! But, another loaf was in the pantry beside the cereal. He walked in the kitchen and I told him what she said!!! He laughed and said he was smashing the hotdog bun so it would fit in the toaster, lol!!! I said, you know there was another loaf in the pantry?
No, he did not know!!!
I spent the day with Cayla and Cayden today. It was lots of fun, but I am tired by night time!!! She does not think that her Mom gets tired, just as I did not think that my Mom and Mother-in-law got tired. I mean you can not know what it feels like until you walk there. It makes me laugh, because I was the same way and you just do not realize it!
Anyway, she had been wanting to get pictures in frames, the bedroom that Cayden will move to cleaned out and such…Ryan is having to give up his room, but he understands. I told him he might need to get him a storage building!!!
We got quite a bit accomplished Sunday and today. They moved furniture on Sunday and Ryan hung a few things for her.
Let me just say this, “It is about impossible to get anything done with Little Man”. He loves to be held and played with etc. If you are standing up, he wants you and will just hang right with you! I must say he reminds me so much of another baby that I knew…and his name starts with a C also….and he will have a birthday this weekend!!! LOL!
Pictures printed, laundry washing, dishes washed, baby fussing, mirror hung, prints hung, baby fussing-baby feed-baby rotten---LOL!!! Baby not wanting to go to sleep, call in back-up----Great-Grandma come help----please!!!
Seriously, I felt like we did not get much done until she came and held that Little Man!!!
Then we had a kitty-chasing, baby tending, house cleaning good time!!! Oh, the kitty chasing was the funniest!!! And I know this lady who has lots of cats, but she does not want them to touch her and she does not want to pick them up…LOL!!! You know who you are….hee haw!!!
I was so thankful we got some back-up!!! Then, I was so tired and ready to go home!!!
Cayden watched a Baby Einstein Movie today and loved it. We had it in the car and he really enjoyed it!
Cayden was fake burping today…lol. He burped so loud one time, we were watching Thomas the Train. So, I just let out a fake one, then said, excuse me. Well, he never took his eyes off the TV, and would fake burp….I would laugh and he would do it again, never looking anywhere but at the TV!!! Too cute!!!
Swim Lessons
Papa wants Kylie and all his grands to be good swimmers. Kylie has really worked on it this summer, but just really needed someone to give her the right way to swim, I guess you could say! I talked with Casey and she agreed and we enrolled her in Tiny Bubbles Swim School.
They teach them how to survive until someone can get to them, and how to get to the edge of the pool, first! Then you can move on to stroke class. Now, I know she seems a little older, but really she has not been around that many pools, etc. We do go to the river and now her Nana Laura has a pool. So we just felt like it was the right time, and you can see that she is ready to learn to swim!
Her first class was Monday and she did great! I watched several other kids, younger and older, I was so amazed! I feel like this is one of the greatest gifts we can give to our grand children!
In the first class they counted to three and went under real quick, several times. Then they taught her to star fish…float on her back. Chin way high, toes on the blue line. (One of the first things her teacher asked? Does she have tubes in her ears? How long has she had them? She had her ear plugs in, but she really does not like her ears to be in the water…the tubes keep the ear open, so water can get into the ear drum!!! ) She also swam on her tummy, eyes open, feet are your motor, reach with your hands!
Thursday Lesson
Going under, star fish, flipping from back to stomach, kicking with feet, reaching for the side of the pool!
Day Five of swim lessons, repeat of every thing learned so far. Plus, she sat on a ledge down in the edge of the pool…they told her to sit on the ledge and then push off with her feet and find the instructors hands…under water. She did , several times!!! They have to remind her to look at the bottom of the pool, she wants to motor with her head looking forward in the water, which slows her down. Nice job Kylie!
Isabella’s Test Run
Last night Bart, Casey and the girls spent the night. Isabella is going to stay with us in a couple of weeks and she has not stayed away from her parents. She has both of them trained…lol!!! So we wanted to see how she would do.
Isabella, Papa and I went to change the water on the irrigation, then we rode to see if we could see any raccoons. We saw one far away and it ran back in the woods. Isabella did see the bright, pretty moon and hear some oldies on the radio!!!
We also rode the golf cart yesterday afternoon and she loved that!
I also kept her up so she did not get a late afternoon nap! Mean ole Ma J!!
She sleeps in the bed with them. She goes to sleep and wakes up at around 12:00 for a little bottle, then back to sleep. Now, she is drinking out of a cup, but we all know how they love their bottle!!! Last night we put her in the pack-n-play in our room, Kylie is in the bed with us, of course!!! She did wake up and fuss a couple of time, I just went over and patted her, gave her back her paci and she went back to sleep. She slept all night and had no bottle snacks! Way to go Isabella. She woke up early this morning and I put her in the bed with me, but it was time to get up and get Kylie to school. So Mom came and got her and off they went and Ma J went back to sleep, I just have a hard time getting to sleep when I have those little ones, and when I do not have them!!!
