Week 20

Walker // If you do something wrong or if you are embarrassed about something, you have a tendency to "not want to talk about it" with me or you want me to "stop talkin' 'bout it." :) I think because you know you did something wrong - even if it was an accident - and you feel ashamed. I guess that's a good thing? But it's okay to admit your mistakes! :) You also like to sleep with ten things - your two ducky blankies and your eight Minecraft stuffed animals.  If, for some reason, you awaken in during the night and you can't find all ten things, then you come downstairs and tell me that you only found "nine stuff" (or whatever the number is). I have to then walk upstairs to help you find all of your things, tuck you back in your bed, turn on your music, turn your Longhorn Dream Lite to "green," turn your turtle nightlight to "blue" and hope that you go right back to sleep. Thankfully, you do. And for that, I am grateful. :)

Lainey // You are very random. You say random things and have lots of random thoughts. You recently told me that "if you throw roly-poly behind you it won't die" and another time, when I was doing your bun for ballet class while you were standing in front of the mirror, you told me that if you had six arms, you would use four as feet and use the other two to hold up your body and neck so you could be a giraffe. And lastly - and this was hilarious - you said that you thought that "big people (meaning adults) can hold their pee longer than little people (meaning kids) because they have bigger bottoms." (And you did preface this statement with "I'm not trying to be mean but...."). Anytime you want to ask me something that you most likely know the answer to (but you feel the need to ask me anyway) you'll say, "Mama, don't say anything until I'm finished talking, okay?". And you'll ask your question and I'll give you my response. :) Which is usually the same response I would have given you had I interrupted your talking. :)
