Oh what fun!!

Well, today the kids and I went to Novi to watch an outdoor puppet show!! We met up with some new friends of ours that we have met through my mommy group! Tomorrow we are off to the Detroit zoo! It is exciting because Isabella is really into animals right now! Today after the puppet show there were women there giving the kiddos tattoos and Isabella told the lady she wanted a hippopotamus just plain as day!! The lady was caught by surprise and started laughing! She said I wasn't expecting that from you! Unfortunately they didn't have a hippopotamus and she had to settle for a rhinoceros! When she woke up from her nap she told me that the rhino has taken the place of the hippo as her favorite animal! On a side note.. Isabella continues to say the darnedest things! I went to get her this morning out of her bed and I caught her laying with her head on the pillow just looking up at the ceiling! I asked her what she was doing and she tells me "I am just chillin"... What a great way to start the day with a big smile! When I put her in the car to go to the puppet show, she looked at me and said, Mommy, you are the best!! We went for our first visit to preschool yesterday. Isabella did so well interacting with the other children. I am happy that we decided to send her this year. She is going to have so much fun! We visited the farm yesterday, went on a hayride and she made her very first art project! Yes, it is proudly displayed where all can see when they come into the house :) I will be saving this forever. It is only fake leaves glued to a plate, but to me it is the most beautiful art I have ever seen :) Andrew is continuing to be on the move. He stands by himself more and more each day. He is a little dare devil! He is still following Isabella all around and continues to want everything she has. He had his first taste of cottage cheese! He wasn't sure at first, but after a few bites he couldn't get enough! I just wish he would get some teeth already! Poor guy was so miserable the other night that he was up all night! I finally resorted to bringing him in bed with me (Doug was on call) he finally fell asleep but I held him all night not sleeping because I was so afraid he would roll off the bed. Needless to say I was a zombie yesterday!! Thank goodness he slept all night last night! I was so refreshed this morning!! Amazing what sleep does to a person! Well, I have decided my goal of writing daily is just impossible, so I am going for weekly goals instead :) Keep Smiling :)
