Mommy and Baby Day:)

By -
It was cold and rainy outside and my baby and I were stuck at home with nothing that had to be done...so we ventured to an indoor play place here in town. It truly was like a huge hamster cage for kids! (And mommy's!) We were the ONLY ones in the place. It was a blast! We started off in the toddler area (where the video is filmed), but then went through the big kids tunnels, down the big-kids slides, on the big-kid trampoline, and over the big kid bridges. She LOVED every minute of it. The slides were HUGE. I made sure she sat on my lap as we went down just in case she got scared...but she didn't. She laughed the whole way down and then signed (and screamed) "More! MORE!". After 45 minutes, mommy was tired. (It was quite a work out folks!) So it was back to the toddler area for our baby. She didn't stop or sit down once!
She is quite the climber these days. We have to watch to make sure all of our chairs are pushed in around our kitchen table. She has been known to climb up on the table if one is left out. She also likes to stand on chairs. This is kind of scary because she is not the most coordinated of children (yet). At least at the play place she can climb till her little hearts content and it is a safe environment. Everything is padded and mesh. Mommy tried really hard not to look at how dirty it was...I'm sure they wipe it all down with disinfectant spray - right? No germs to be found - right?
She is going down the toddler slide in this video. She played in this area for about an hour. This is one of the last times she went down the slide. And for some reason was really obsessed with the stamp that they put on her hand. My favorite part caught on this video is when she runs back to the slide to do it again at the end of the video. She screams "yeah!" the whole way back!



A 3 hour nap followed this adventure:) (for both mommy and baby!)

Last Dance (for awhile)

Where: Kansas City Music Hall When: mid-February 2020 Emily's dance competition season started out strong with her team's performance at the Nexstar Dance competition in downtown Kansas City. Little did we know that this would be the last competition of the season, and there wouldn't be much dancing period for a loooong time.  Emily and her long-time dance partner in crime Kylie And we even had time to cross the border into Kansas (booo) and see Emily's friend Kate in action at a volleyball tournament.

Answered Prayers

By Esq. -
If you read the title and were expecting something inspirational, poignant and truly spiritual... then I would lower my expectations if I were you. Although true to the title, this post will revolve around prayer. May I just first say that this post could refer to the prayers of a strung-out father and mother both of whom had a day of hell with their beloved infant, three-year-old and puppy. Their prayers were something like: "Please God remind me that I love these people and remind me FAST!" another prayer might have gone something like: " If I can just make it a few more hours, they'll all go to sleep, please Lord in Heaven let them go to sleep." And, again, true to the title those prayers were (luckily for the daughters and puppy's sake) answered. But those are not the prayers to which the post's title refers. No. Allow me to set the stage. Jessica and Emily made chocolate pudding today on a whim. I am crazy-go-nuts for chocolate pudding. My favorite ...

Allowance

Our last trip to Toys R Us brought wonderful learning opportunities for Emily. She had $10 of birthday money to spend on whatever she wanted. But what she wanted was $20. I was so proud of her for not throwing a fit when I said she couldn't have it. Instead we talked and we talked and we talked some more about the fact that she only had $10 not $20. It would have been much easier if I would have actually had $10 cash and she could have tried to buy the other toy, but I didn't have cash. And she knew it. "Just use your card mom" is what she said. This discussion led to her asking "how can I get more money?" And me replying, "Perhaps it is time for an allowance!" And so we started forming a plan. Emily gets paid $2.00 a week (half her age). Part of that $2.00 is doing what is expected of her as a 4 year old as part of our family. It is expected that she not throw fits, get dressed in the morning, clear her dishes from the table, and be kind to all me...
