What I've Learned:
1. I will never be a pretty summertime momma. Emma often wakes up before 6 a.m. and if you think I am getting up before then to shower, fix my hair, and do my makeup you are on drugs. I shower at night (daily - ok?) and let my hair air dry or go to bed with it wet. The result is that the next morning I resemble the bird lady from Mary Poppins. But whatevs - sleep is more important to me.
2. Emma is kinda spoiled. She cries a lot because she just wants to be held all day and that is just not possible. I must find a way to grow a kangaroo pouch . . .
3. If I would let Emma nap on me she would sleep for 20 hours a day instead of the meager amount she sleeps now.
4. If I'm not careful, I'm going to develop a full blown southern accent. Between watching Hatfields & McCoys, Swamp People, True Blood, and Emily Maynard during the Bachelorette . . . it's inevitable . . . y'all.
5. Lexi is HILARIOUS. She's had some fantastic Lexi-isms lately:
- She told a lady at the grocery store she needed to "come to Jesus"
- "Mom, if people can see my tummy, they'll think I'm trash"
- she refers to Wal-Mart as 'Scary Dillons' - now I do too.
- "Mom, Dad put a ring on your finger because he wanted to dance with you"
6. If I put Emma in a room with 6,583 stuffed animals and 1 sharp object she could find the sharp object in 5.4 seconds. She is a magnet for dangerous things . . . and corners . . . and germy surfaces . . . and dog food.
7. Roxy will eat ANYTHING Emma offers her: Cheerios, fruit, her own dog hair. If it comes from Emma's little fingers the dog is gonna eat it.
8. Pinterest is a sickness - I'm an addict. I need help.
9. Target doesn't open until 8 a.m. Rude. We've been up for hours (plural) by then.
10. Emma + Lexi = <3
These two adore each other. Emma wasn't feeling too well earlier in the week and I kept them separate for a couple of days. Both were miserable and whiny. They love to hug on each other and Lexi is so patient and sweet to Emma - I love to watch them together.
