Yippee!

Alexis took a shower today all on her own! This is very cool for me because it's just one less thing on my To Do list! She washed and conditioned her hair all on her own (and her hair goes to her rear) but forgot to wash her body! I helped her get the water restarted to do that part, but just felt so proud that she's gotten to this point. Baths in the past have been a pain because she'd just fuss and fuss. But now, she's a happy camper and that in turn makes me a happy camper, too.

I heard you, I'm not...

Tyrus lost a tooth tonight! It was time for bed and he was freaking out because he was worried that it would fall out while he was sleeping and he'd swallow it. I told him I didn't think that would happen, but he still was worried. So, I asked to look at it and I gave it an ever so slight tug and it came right out! Ty was shocked and insisted it wasn't ready to come out, but I assured him that if it wasn't ready to come out, it wouldn't have come out.


My mom was just here for the last few days. We had a lovely, relaxed visit with her. I love it when she's here. The next time we'll see her is in September when we go to St. Louis.

Alexis' new phrase when I tell her to do something for the 32408th time: "I HEARD you! I'm not death!"

Carsten's funny things right now:

"I not know!"
"Let me know, ok?"
"oh tay, momma"
