Happy Mother's Day!

I hope everyone is having a wonderful Mother's Day!

We've had a fairly busy week, between trips to the library, play dates with some good friends (including a trip to Cripple Creek to see Joe and the boys!)  and our usual routine! Luckily; we've been able to just relax this Sunday!

Concert Day!

On of Skyler's favorite games to play lately is "Concert Day" and FINALLY after Months of playing daily - I convinced her to let me capture it on video!!

In a normal game? She gives me a fake camera of some sort; she holds a microphone (in this video it's a stick) and she sings and dances. Then yells at me to "Click" (the camera) and clap. *lol* Then we switch places.. But there will be no video of me singing. Sorry. (Or maybe I should say "You're welcome!"

For the love of Eggs!!

Skyler and I have had a wonderful Easter!

On Thursday, we baked Hot Cross Buns! (Which turned out not so delicious; but none the less they were fun to bake!) 

Friday evening we spent loads of time playing outside!  One of Skyler's favorite things to do is play in the "Back Garden"!! This evening she played with her car and sidewalk chalk!

And Saturday was reserved for Egg Dyeing! Skyler definitely loved this activity; and hasn't stopped talking about it.

Today we went to church and then spent the afternoon just relaxing at home! It was a wonderful weekend, although we wish we could have shared it with our friends and family in Lincoln!

Now it's time to start preparing for next weekends big event -- the Royal Wedding! *lol*

Happy Easter

Happy Easter!

It's ok, my thumb isn't lonely.

Tonight we were getting ready for dinner and Skyler came running up to me calling "Mommy Jacque!" (which is annoyingly adorable, but that's another post all together!)

I bent down to see what she wanted to show me, and she held her hands out. She said: "Look! I have five fingers!" I replied "Yes, you do!" and then she held out her left hand and said "I don't have any fingers. Just a thumb."

We talked for a few moments about her hand, as a two year old she was content to know that she had pointed this out to me and ran off to play. Fast forward about 20 minutes to eating dinner and she looked at me, very serious and said: "It's ok Mommy Jacque, my thumb isn't lonely. My thumb is special because it doesn't have fingers." And then she smiled and ate her grilled cheese.

I know we'll have another discussion in the future, but this was the first time she really acknowledged out loud that she knows she's different.
