life...

Okay first, let me just say Lulu has angels too. I truly believe in angels. Cody and I were watching some stupid movie on TV and suddenly it turned off and we heard a spark sound. We turned around to see Lulu putting this key in the outlet!!! Cody thought she was dead but I saw she was just kind of scared and frozen. I picked her up and started telling her to never never never NEVER touch an outlet again and then she started crying pretty hard at Daddy's freaked out reaction. He took her outside and had a chat with her and calmed her down, then Cody and I both cried realizing what could have happened. WOW!!!
Onto another subject... I'm not a fan of Saturdays. After many hours of getting nothing done and chasing messes, I came into the living room to see this. They were all watching Tom and Jerry. At least they were enjoying this Saturday.





On this same unproductive Saturday, I went into the baby's future room to find Lulu here in the swing. She lived in this swing as a baby and up til around 2, still slept there during naps. I think we're in for a fight when she sees her baby brother using it... 42 days y'all!!!




And another subject, the other night Lulu fell asleep like this. I love this kid. (She still wears a diaper at night but insists on her big girl panties over them.)






Cody and I had a good laugh. However later in the night when her legs were draped over me and she was cuddled so close to me that I was falling off the bed, I was realizing again how much we need to get her back into her own bed. She used to have a great bedtime routine and had no problem sleeping in her own bed but last summer after we got back from vacation, it all changed for some reason. We're both torn because we love having her by us but we also need our own space. Especially with new baby coming too- they'll just be waking each other up all night! Any advice how to train a 3 year old to sleep in her own bed is gladly welcomed.

And here's some big news... Cody is taking me on a date tonight!!! It has been way too long and even though I had to beg for it, we are going and I am happy. Maybe it will help me remember why I like him so much. :) I never see the boy lately so this should be fun.
