You spill it, you clean it up.

That's Bug's rule, not mine.  I won't fight it.  :)

A few weeks (or days) back I may or may not have mentioned that Bug began mimicking the way Mommy cleans the carpet after a spill or after McKayla throws up.  Last night Bug decided it would be a great idea to gather all her sippy cups (that she refuses to use) and play with them and insisted I fill up one of them with milk.  Because I wanted to practice some indoor photography, I did.  (Who's the boss again?)  While snapping photos Bug spilled her milk.  She then motioned for some paper towel and began cleaning it up on her own.  Awesome.  Keep up the good work, Bug.







There's no water here.  She's pretending.  Yes, we've entered the pretending phase.  Isn't this early?


Lush.  She never even really drank it.  She just thinks it's funny to pretend to drink it.

WHOOPS!  Spilled the milk.


After she pointed to the paper towel I gave her one and she walked on over to the milk on the floor to clean it.  WHAT?  A mother's dream come true.

This is really happening.  She got it all off too!  She's good.

Question:  Does anyone else think Bug looks like a Dr. Seuss character?  Perhaps from Whoville?

After cleaning up, she threw her paper towel in the trash!  THE TRASH!  She is SO good.  Before proceeding to drop it in the trash, however, she needed confirmation.  She turned to me and said, "This?"  (That's the new thing these days.  "This?  This?  This?  This?  THIS?  THIS?"  It's awesome.)

All the while, the adopted cat watches in her safe zone- under the table, where Bug cannot get her.   Smart girl.  Is there room for Mommy under there?


Bug received a Halloween care package from Grandma.  This is how she chose to use her trick-or-treat bucket.  She's a funny girl.  Another new thing:  Bug turns over every toy to see how it works.  Rather than playing, it's as though she's solving a problem.  She wants to know where the noise comes from or how things move.  Curious kid.  Gee, I wonder where she got that from?  Stacking things, building things, taking things apart.  Sounds a lot like a certain Daddy I know.  Great. 

 
God Bless,

4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 month Cub (9, 10, 11 too)

Clearly I've missed a few monthly updates of the Cub.  I apologize.  We were busy and life has literally taken us for a whirlwind ride.  To be really honest, I lost a lot of motivation to write these past few months because I've every time I started to write, all I could think to write about was my grandpa, Papang, how much I've missed him, and the endless tears that came out when I thought of him.  Every time I reflected back on the moments with my kids and my family, I seemed to cry, thinking of how much he's missed even in the short 5 months he's been gone.  After months of tears and prayers, I feel like I'm officially starting to feel like I'm healing.  While I know I may not heal completely, I can function without tears flowing from my eyes every moment of silence. Cubby has grown quite a bit (to say the least) since my 3 month update.  Here is the gentle giant's growth in months 4, 5, 6, and 7. This weekend, Cubby turned 8...

"Thank you for being a friend..."

[And now, a short introduction with the theme song to the sitcom, The Golden Girls] "Thank you for being a friend, Traveled down the road and back again. Your heart is true your a pal and a confidant. And if you through a party, Invited everyone you ever knew... You would see the biggest gift would be from me, And the card attached would say thank you for being a friend." This morning, Rue McClanahan, who played Blanche Devereaux on my favorite show, The Golden Girls, passed away. If you know me, you could understand how upset I might be.  (Quote from Blanche:  " There is a fine line between having a good time and being a wanton slut. I know. My toe has been on that line." ) The Golden Girls was, is and will always be my favorite show...EVER. Within the last few years, both Estelle Getty (who played Sophia) and Bea Arthur (who played Dorothy) passed away as well and that in itself was a tragedy; for we all know what an amazing duo they made!    (Quote fro...

What if...

I was on the phone today with my brother, Kyle, and was telling him about my emotionally charged moment in a parking lot as I dropped off the hubs at work after having lunch with him.  As I drove through the aisle of the parking lot, a parked car quickly backed out of it's spot without looking.  My natural instinct, of course, was to stop, rather than move forward.  Thankfully, however, the car quickly stopped itself from hitting the front passenger side of my car, where the hubs was sitting.  I pulled into a spot to calm myself down.  My heart was racing.  Wyatt turned to me and asked, "Are you okay?"  I just could not find the words to respond.  (Strange, I know.)  I was breathing so heavily and I think he realized I was about to freak out and said, "We're fine.  She didn't hit us."  He was right.  The driver had stopped quickly enough and everyone was safe.  However, I still could not get myself to calm down.  3, 2...
