Girly fun

tonight i took some time from whatever it is that takes up my time and sat in the middle of aly's bedroom and played. scotty had taken cade to the batting cages and it was just us girls. we started by redressing all her polly pockets, then moved onto dressup. it' so cute to see aly in a pink tshirt, white tutu, pink high heels, a tiara and blue satin cinderella gloves. she didn't want to wear any of the 20 or so beaded necklaces so she put them on me, one by one and then said (in her aly gibberish) "mommy, look pretty". noone else would have known that's what she said but i promise it was. then my OCD took over a little and i decided that we needed to dress her babies. b/c NONE of them have clothes on. so we sorted through all the babydoll clothes and dressed all her babies. she then undressed them again and changed the outfits around, or decided that they needed a bath before they got dressed. now all her babies have clothes, socks and shoes (she's prob a little OCD too). tomorrow i'm sure they will all be naked again but for right now they are clothed, in beds and covered up. she also put a bottle, sippy cup or pacifier next to each baby. she's so thoughtful.

scotty asked cade tonight why he didn't listen sometimes and cade's answer was "maybe there's something wrong with my head". the stuff he says blows me away sometimes. he's so smart and so clueless all at the same time. today i told him to get his shoes on so his dad could take him to get his haircut. he walked to his room, heard a noise outside, came back out of his room (all in about 20 seconds), still didn't have shoes on and i said "cade, where's your shoes?" he said "oh yeah" and went back to put them on. so what happened in the 20 seconds between the time he went to get his shoes and he forgot? and they say he doesn't have ADD. hello, have you met his dad? apple, meet the tree. i think it's so amazing how kids can be so much like thier parents. well, besides the obvious reason that they came from us. but everyone is so different and spouses are so different. scotty and i are not alike but yet our kids are just like us both. i guess the "nurture vs nature" discussion could come up but i just think it's interesting. some people would say that my kids are alike but that i disagree on. i don't even think they look alike (which some people do). i actually think they are complete opposite. of course aly tries to act like her big brother and do the same things that he does but their personalities are very different. i guess they compliment each other. one is loud, the other is quiet. one is fearless, the other is scared of everything. God knew i couldn't handle 2 loud fearless kids! that's why he gave me only 1 boy b/c i don't think i'm mentally stable enough for 2! ok, so bedtime is calling. surely nothing notable can happen overnight but i'm not going to count on it!!
