but she wanted "a lot," like daddy!
So D got her set up...
and away she went!
Which didn't last long...
so D and L flew the kites together...
What fun!
Thanks for the windy day entertainment, Dad/Grandpa!Weight: 16 lbs 12 oz (81%)
Height: 24 1/4 inches (21%)
Head Circumference: 44 cm (88%)
She did NOT spend a large amount of time pouring water in and out of the bucket! I did NOT let her play until the water was gone (she dumped the whole bucket!).
Baby I does NOT have a super cute smile that makes me happy even when I'm frustrated with his 'naps' (or lack thereof) as of late!
L did NOT get 2 balloons from the neighbors (who just hosted their son's college graduation party). Even if she did, there is NO way that I would let her wear them around the house just for fun...
even while coloring with daddy! Nope, NOT me!
Baby I is NOT totally into swiping at and grabbing his dangling toys. He does NOT accidently kick the ball by his feet and get so excited that he tries it again but misses since the ball is still swinging. I do NOT find this comical...nope, NOT me!
I am NOT sort of potty training L (I say 'sort of' because I'm not sure how committed I am...). I did NOT bribe her with a GIANT marshmallow for going #2 in the potty...
It did NOT work...
ONCE!
Sigh...I am NOT at all frustrated with the whole potty training thing. It does NOT bother me at all that L will go #1 almost every time I put her on the potty but reserves #2 for her diaper alone. I am NOT thankful that they make adult diapers (you know, Depends) since L may need them someday. I am NOT glad that at that point she will be buying her own diapers. Nope, NOT me!
with tiny fingers...
and tiny toes!
Planting green beans...
or just tossing them in!
We may have to thin some of the green beans! See?
Next to plant...peas!
She was more careful with these!
Besides our strawberries (which are looking great!) at the far end it doesn't look like much right now...
We (especially L) can't wait for it to start growing!
We planted carrots, lettuce, beets, green beans, peas, squash and cucumbers. We didn't bother with watermelon, cantaloupe or corn this year. Most of it I plan to use for making baby food for baby I. I'm sure L will claim much of the rest of it!
L does NOT give herself tummy time...
I did NOT put baby I in a pink Bumbo last week despite D's hesitation. I did NOT tell D that it was one of the many hazards of being a little boy with a big sister. Baby I did NOT seem to care that the Bumbo was pink (really!). 
L has NOT reclaimed this Bumbo as her own. She does NOT spend more time sitting in it than baby I does!
After making our alphabet project this week, I did NOT think that it was a pretty ugly goat...
The next day we did NOT do another 'G' project to make up for the first ugly one. We did NOT sort the Goldfish into 2 separate piles...
and then glue only the ones that started with G (Green and Gold) onto the fish bowl (which L had glitter glued to look like water!)...
See?
I did NOT let L eat the fish that didn't start with G. After all, what kind of a mother lets her daughter have a snack less than an hour after breakfast?!?! Not me!
I do NOT let L play with her Elmo toy on her potty chair while sitting in the Bumbo in the bathroom...
just so I can give baby I a bath. He is NOT already too big for the hammock in his baby tub. See? 
I am NOT including this picture of my 2 favorite boys just because I like it!
NOT this one either!!
Finally, I did NOT take L to the doctor today after her bug bites seemed worse than they were on Friday when she got them. It was NOT a waste of my time and money since they are just normal (but horrible looking) gnat bites! Before the doctor left L did NOT say, "But, I didn't get to lay down!" (she sat on my lap the whole time) to which the doctor did NOT say, "well, you have to do that or it's not really like going to the doctor, is it?" He did NOT proceed to have L lie down and look at her bug bites with his 'flashlight.' I would NEVER allow L to waste this busy doctor's time. Nope, not me!
I did NOT teach L how to fold washcloths on laundry day last week...
She did NOT do a pretty good job...
until she got bored and started wearing them as hats. See? 
L does NOT love to be wherever baby I is..JPG)
I do NOT encourage her to 'read' to him and revel in the fact that both children are happily occupied! Nope, NOT me!
While outside with daddy on Saturday, D did NOT find and give worms to L. Even if he did, she did NOT enjoy playing with them and think that nightcrawlers were even MORE fun! I did NOT let her continue playing with them once I found out what was going on and I certainly did NOT take pictures. I mean...that's just gross!
See?.JPG)
I did NOT hear L saying, "I'm stuck!" and find her like this....JPG)
Even if I did, there is NO WAY that I said, "just a minute let me get my camera!" while she continued saying, "I'm stuck! I'm stuck!".JPG)
This did NOT happen one other time several months ago when L was stuck in her crib. Remember? 
Finally, L does NOT name everyday objects (crayons, Little People, stuffed animals etc.) and have them talk to each other. This does NOT include her hands who she has named Reed and Hunter (the next door neighbor boys). She does NOT say things like "Look mom, Reed's hiding!" or "Daddy, Hunter's dirty you better clean him up!" (in reference to said hands). This does NOT concern me at all. Nope, NOT me!
