The debates???

Anyone else notice that Obama had blue teeth and blue lips???

Smarty Pants

The other day I was taking Kylee to school, when we were stopped at a stop sign. Kylee said, with a know-it-all tone of voice "octagons have 8 sides and triangles have three sides." I was shocked by this, so I asked her where she had learned that. She said "moose and zee" (which is on Noggin- a childrens TV channel). In a way, I was hoping she would say school... I guess she learns more from TV then school. When we ask her what she learns at school, she just says "I learned how to play outside" or "I learned how to rest."

Play Time

Tonight Kylee was playing with her dolly and her dolly's stroller, and Rhett got the idea to put Luke in the stroller. It was so cute, we just had to show you.

Growing Growing Gone!

Last week as I was at Kylee's swim lesson, I noticed she was swimming long distances and jumping in the pool and swimming to the instructor. I thought maybe the teacher was helping her, but to my surprise, she was swimming ALL BY HER SELF!!! So Saturday night we went to the pool and she is truly a little fish! She just kept going and going. She didn't want to stop! I was so surprised and so excited. This all happened within just two weeks, so you can imagine why I am so shocked.

Pretty Princess

So I got Ky a princess dress just for fun. One day after her nap she came and found me dressed like this. I thought it was so cute! I told her she should go find her dad and show him what a beautiful princess she was. She said "I'm not a princess, I'm just a kid!"

What Kids Say

I think I have to be the luckiest mom ever. Today I was having a hard time with feeling alone and just adjusting to moving and maybe some postpartum stuff, and was crying on the phone to Rhett. I was telling Rhett that I really wished I could have a hug or someone to just cry on. A few seconds later I feel a tug on my leg and Kylee wrapped her arms around me and gave me a big old hug. After I got off the phone with Rhett, she hugged me again and told me she didnt want me to be sad and then asked why I had purple tears (mascara running down my face). All night Kylee kept asking me "are you happy now mommy?"
I wasnt really sure if I should tell this or even really wanted to tell this, but I feel that it was so sweet and such a tender moment, I really wanted to show how wonderful life can really be... and that people are real. I am someone who most people, when first meeting me, wouldnt know I struggle with self-esteem and depression. I am open about this because I believe that there are people out there who may need to hear it. But something I learned tonight was that I am incredibly lucky for my two SWEET and CARING wonderful children. I am truly blessed.
