And here is me now:
I FINALLY DID IT!!!!
Love my biggest girl, but life with a 3-year-old is way different...
By the way- Madeline is awesome! Nine months and so very sweet still. She needs me in a different way than Kylie ever has. Kylie loves to be with me, but Madeline NEEDS me emotionally. She is definitely a Mama's girl and she is all about being with only me. I can leave her with other people, but the second she hears my voice or sees me, she is no longer happy.
She can now stand up next to things (her bed) and hold herself in a standing position. She also does majorly great sitting. She has absolutely no interest in crawling or rolling to the other side of the room, but the pediatrician isn't worried and thinks, given her muscle control, that she will be one of those babies that goes straight to walking...although I think we can hold off another couple of months!
Momma- "Thank you Jesus for Kylie and for our day. Please bless Kylie while she sleeps and keep her safe. Give her sweet thoughts and dreams and help her to wake up in the morning ready for her day."
Kylie- "And no be scared of dark- kangaroo (she carrieds around a little Roo doll...) scared of dark."
Momma- "Thank you Jesus that you are going to help Kylie and kangaroo not to be scared of the dark. Please bless...run through the list of family members...and keep them safe."
Kylie- "And the zoo and the animals. And Coffee dog (our friends' schnauzer). And all my friends at church."
Momma- "Please bless the zoo and the animals, coffee dog and all our friends.
Kylie- "And thank you that Daddy was only playing with the vacuum (I buzzed Matt's hair and then I used the dust buster to get it all off his shoulders. My poor toddler, who is scared of the vaccuum/dust buster, watched as her father acted like it was eating him and screamed...Grrr, Matt...)
Momma- "And thank you that Daddy was only playing with the vaccuum. Amen."
