Little notes

So since Mya has learned to read, she has obviously learned to write too. These days she just loves writing notes to us. And lists too. She has to write a list for everything. She writes a list of stuff that we're going to do on the weekends, a list of what we're going to leave for Santa to eat, a list of stuff she wants for Christmas. All kinds of lists.
The other day I wasn't feeling well and she said that she'd "take care of me" so she made me a "snack"(with a note of course)....here is a picture. Notice the ellipsis. You gotta love that!

Pookie had a visitor...

After






Before

Yes, the tooth fairy visited Mya on Sunday night. She lost her 1st tooth. She was soooo excited. She was very brave and tried to tie a string around it and pull it herself, but the string kept slipping off. So she turned to Daddy and he helped her pull it out. She looks so cute with her little missing tooth. The tooth fairy visited her and left her two dollars and took with her the cutest, littlest tooth you could ever imagine.

Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving. I wish we could all be together.

Save the drama for your momma

So it's starting already. I went up to Mya's room and this is what I saw. Guess she didn't feel like having anyone bother her. I just had to take a picture for ya'll. She loves writing notes to us these days, but this one sure surprised me. And see that big trash bag with the red handles beside her door? That is full of clothes that Valentino no longer fits into. Can you believe that? He's almost 3 months and is wearing at least 9 months, if not bigger. He is growing like a weed. I'll write more later when I get some more time. I just picked up the kids from school and I'm sweating. Sure doesn't feel like November.

More openmeal please...

That is how Mariano says oatmeal. Even oatmeal pies~ he calls them openmeal pies. Another cute thing he says is lasterday meaning yesterday. I think it's a combination of last night and yesterday. Just when I think he's growing up because he has started to pronounce certain words correctly he goes and says something cute again and I realize that he's still my little baby boy. Like he used to say wom instead of one, but now he says it right. Of corse I can't think of any other ones right this minute, but there are more. One thing I can recall right now that made me chuckle was when Mya went to the bathroom the other day and she closed the door. Apparently Mariano thought she was taking too long because he went and knocked on the door. Mya yells out "who is it?" And he says "it's Mariano Aiden Barolin".
Mya told me a cute thing the other day. She said "mommy, I used to think that the people in the stores (cashiers) stood behind those things because they didn't have any pants on."
Out of the mouthes of babes...
Also, due to numerous complaints, I changed the settings so you are no longer required to have a gmail account to publish comments, so feel free to comment whenever you like.
We got Valentino a little activity gym play mat and he loves it. He is under there right now just a talking to it while I blog. He's getting big and sleeping much better lately. The poll is almost over and so far most of you think that he looks like Mya. That is what I think too. We shall see as he grows if he continues to look like her or if he changes. Speaking of Mya, we had a parent teacher conference for the end of the reporting period. Her teacher says that she is one of the best readers in the class and that we should move her on to chapter books because the other books they are reading are very easy for her. Considering she has been read to since she was an infant, I'm not surprised that she is so knowledgeable and loves to read. She's still our little genius!
My sister brought it to my attention that I never did "let you know" how Mya's sleepover went. Well it was fine. Which is how I forgot to write about it. She followed my directions and called me before she went to bed and then called me the next morning to let me know that she was ready to come home. It was so lonely without my baby girl in the house with me that night, but I'm going to have to let go eventually, right? Actually this weekend she is having her first sleepover at our house. She has her best friend Aspen spending the night tonight and her other friend Cori spending the night on Sunday since Monday is a holiday. Busy weekend. Wish me luck!
