First she wouldn't let me hold her unless she was looking out at the world. Then no holding at all. Next she was being Chase's second mom, then Brooklyn's etc. I was banned from doing her hair at age 6, picking out clothes for her at age 10. Today, the peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I was helping her out in her rush, carefully spreading the peanut butter to the four corners when I asked her to get out the jelly for me. She got it out but wouldn't hand it over. "I'm really picky about the jelly, Mom." Please, I know how you like it. Easy on the jelly. So we each spread a little on each piece of bread. Nice compromise. And so go the days of my life with a baby teenager in the house.
Brynn is at preschool, Sophia asleep. I'm getting a few things done, and catching up on reading.
Sarah, Those ginger snaps are deadly. We made them Sunday and then ate them for breakfast, lunch and if there were any left they would have been dinner too. So tasty. Thanks again.

This is Me, Blogging because I don't want to forget.
"There is one picture of the three of them, sitting in the grass on a quilt in the shadow of the swing set on a summer day, ages 6, 4 and 1. And I wish I could remember what we ate, and what we talked about, and how they sounded, and how they looked when they slept that night. I wish I had not been in such a hurry to get on to the next thing: dinner, bath, book, bed. I wish I had treasured the doing a little more and the getting it done a little less."--Anna Quindlen

I love that Ally Cakes! She is so Independent already.... Thats a good quality! She is just helping you be prepared for how Brynn is going to be.
I can't wait!
So, I don't know Sarah, but I do. I read/stalk her blog about twice a week. I agree with the gingersnap praise. They are awesome--and even better the second day.
I love that you're forging the way for the rest of us with these teenagers! Keep track of the advice!
who ARE these people on your "favorite blogs" list?!? They are obviously more computer adept than I am or ever will be. And, where do they find the time to do all they do and then write a coherent and hilarious blog? Dude, I need serious help.
