Lulie is 3!

Lulie turned 3 this week and I couldn't be more happy with the life of this child. She had a great time at her birthday party and on her actual birthday we just had pizza and opened gifts. She is such an easy going child, most of the time, that it really didn't seem that big of a deal to her. In fact, when people would tell her Happy Birthday, she would tell them Happy Birthday back. 

Lulie is a joy to have around the house and although 85% of the time she would like to watch TV or have me hold her, she is still fun. She likes to yell for her sister, "Saddie Rose", and she does love to pester her. She is the child that will throw a remote at Sallie Rose and then the next minute she is right by her side kissing her boo boo. She doesn't quite understand that she is the reason for almost all of Sallie Rose's boo boos. 

She has FINALLY started pooping on the potty and just this week started sleeping in a big girl bed. She did the big girl bed on her own, but the pooping on the potty was a full on cry fest. We did it though! And today at the grocery store, I loved every second of not having to pay $25 for diapers. 

Lulie has to have a hug and a kiss every time I leave her. Whether it is at bed time (after I have rocked her for 20 minutes), dropping her off at school/church or when I leave for work in the morning. It is a joy to me and her love couldn't be more sincere. She is a lover. 

Happy Birthday to the child who looks just like my sister, Tara, and who screams every morning at 6:30 am for her Daddy and who wears a dress almost every outfit!

Try it again

It's been over a year since I posted a blog! I really want to try and document what is going in with the girls, in a brief format. 

We went out of town for one night to Atlanta. Lulie got sick on the way and ended up having a fever and vomiting a few times. We call it our traveling curse. Every time we travel, she gets sick. She hasnt been sick in months and we get on the road and she gets sick. Poor girl. No one tell her we are going to charleston for one night in 2 weeks so hopefully she won't get sick. 

She really cracks us up though. She say some pretty cute things and that's what I want to document. 

Going to school last week I gave her a chocolate chip granola bar.

Me: Lulie are you eating your granola bar?

Lulie: yes, mommy you want bite?

Me: no thank you, that's sweet though.

I turn around to look at her at a red light and she is picking out all the chocolate Chips and eating them.

Me: Lulie, you need to eat the whole bar not just the chocolate chips.

Lulie: but mommy, I'm really really hungry for tiny Hershey kisses.

After that I couldn't say anything. It's usually the same thing when I tell her to stop eating her boogies. "But mommy, I'm really really hungry for my boogers." Yuck! 

Next I'll explain how she feels about pointing out everyone's giant vaginas. Another night.
