Adrianna got her first professional haircut a couple of weeks ago. We took her to Cool Cuts for Kids, and she did really good. The seats are designed to look like cars, complete with steering wheels, and she got to pick out a movie to watch on her very own tv. (She chose Thomas the […]

Cleaning Up
Adrianna came into the bathroom where I was putting on makeup. She looked into the bathtub and asked, “Mommy, did you take a bath?” “No,” I said, “But I took a shower.” Peering back into the bathtub and grabbing a washcloth, she scolded, “I need to clean it now, ’cause you made a mess!” After […]
Taking Everything Literally
We have a large chip on our windshield that has 3 small cracks on either side of it, so that it looks like an insect in shape. Adrianna often points to it from her car seat and tells me there is a bug on our window. Yesterday, we once again had a conversation about the […]
My Girl
Some cute things Adrianna says: “Mommy, it’s berry scaring me!” She loves trains, but she often says this to us when she hears a train whistle in the distance. “It’s berry raining outside!” “I’ll come in a little minute.” “The cars bite me.” (This one is in regards to safety and our rule that she […]
Princesses
Greg is upstairs putting Adrianna to bed. They are rocking in our glider chair and Adrianna told Greg that she is a princess. Then she told him that they are both princesses. She said, “I’m Ariel and you are Cinderella.”
Got it?
Often when we are trying to explain something of a serious nature or give instructions to Adrianna, we will end the conversation with, “Got it?” instead of “Okay?”. This was Greg’s idea, as “Got it?” implies more of a “Do you understand?” to the statements whereas “Okay?” would imply more of a “Do you agree? […]
Roll Ball
Adrianna has invented a new game that she calls, “Roll Ball.” I first heard of the game a few days ago when she asked me if I wanted to play “row baw” with her. It took me a little while to realize that she was saying “roll ball.” Once I understood, I agreed to play. […]
Our Busy Birthday Weekend – Part 3
I am only a week late in posting this, but better late than never, right? My new favorite quote is that “I put the pro in procrastination.” That so fits me. After church and a nap on Sunday, we went to White Fence Farm with Dave and Marilyn. We had a delicious dinner (fried chicken) […]
Our Busy Birthday Weekend – Part 2
After the fun afternoon at Casa Bonita, we came back to the house to let the kids take a nap. Aidan slept in the pack-n-play in Adrianna’s room and that went surprisingly well. Obviously he is used to sharing a room, but Adrianna isn’t (except for nap time at Nette’s). They did really good. Adrianna […]
Our Busy Birthday Weekend – Part 1
This weekend was Adrianna’s birthday. Since it was her third birthday and she has a good memory of events now, we thought we would throw her an actual party this year. Greg’s parents came out for the weekend and much of my family came out for the day. What a noisy lot we [my family] […]
