A day of small miracles!
You know that you are a mom when you consider a miracle something that you never thought your child would do. Today I went to take Kennedy for some pictures at Daddy's work. I, of course, dressed her in her cute little sundress with matching, bib, hat, bow, etc.. We begged for Madison to also get some pictures since the pretty little thing has not had a professional shot since she was one (yes, she has been FIGHTING the camera that long). Now that she is 3 1/2, we thought that it would be nice to replace the 1 year shots with something a little more current.
After a little bit of bribery (ie: a toy vaccuum), she agreed to try. But wait, it gets better. I actually got a skort on my daughter. This is so big since Madison REFUSES to wear anything really girly. In fact, the other day she yelled at me because her camo shirt was not real camo since it had some flowers hidden in it. I managed to pull it off by telling her that it is called a scooter, and it is really secret shorts (it also helps that it was green).
We got a great shot of each of the girls individually and together. Now to find some wall space to put up the pictures once they arrive. It was so nice to have my two girls together in some pictures.
I am working so hard at making Kennedy my "girly" girl, but I think that the others are foiling my plan. The boys have taught her to mimic them saying poop. Just what I want her first word to be. For now it is just "pft", but she really is trying to sound like them :( In addition, whenever she farts, she follows it by blowing raspberries, as if to announce what she just did. I am just so proud of her newfound abilities; what mother wouldn't be? Some days I think that I should have had the girls first so maybe they could have been "uncorrupted". Oh well, at least we will have some help fighting off those evil boys that will one day want to date my babies.
Now to go and continue the nightly rituals of wash, dishes, clean up, and treadmill. It is always the same things, just a different day.
