Finally. Happy. Me!: September 2010

So I admittedly suck at blogging recently but I am vowing to make a change in that. I am going to try to keep up on a few easy things first like "10 on Tuesdays" and "Wordless Wednesdays" and I'm going to steal a little jem from THEbump/knot/nest etc. called "Flame Free Friday Confessions"

I want to be a better blogger just to give myself something to release to. My world is so overwhelming right now that to have some consistency and known constant would be nice... so here goes:

*one*
Beanie is getting to be a lot more verbal these days. She can COUNT :) ... okay so she knows that TWO comes after one and that is it but hey its a start!!
*two*
One of the things that makes me the most proud as a parent is hearing that Bean has great manners. She has been complimented by a waitress as well as a teacher at her daycare. She knows to say Please & Thank-You and now we are working on Your Welcome!
*three*
Hunters new name is Hoo Hoo... we have no clue where it came from but that is what is screamed from the back door when Bean is throwing treats at her from the screenless door!
*four*
Bean has been sick for weeks now. I knew that putting her in daycare would come with an occasional cold but she has had one thing after another since the beginning of the month. Today we went to see the pediatrician and she has a sinus infection an ear infection. So now not only is she an allergic little girl but also a sick little girl!
*five*
We are doing a duo-party for Lexiloo and Josiebean this year. I am super excited for it and we are just starting the planning. The hardest is going to be making all the food and treats BEAN FRIENDLY! This is a biggie for me (and luckily Brooke agrees) that first off its Beans party (well Lexies too) but she SHOULD be able to eat anything and everything there without fear but most importantly I would like to not WORRY that someone may give her something unknowingly or she may grab something from a table that she shouldn't have!
*six*
Bean has become very possessive of me and won't let anyone put their arm around me or touch me. She will immediately point her finger at them and say "no momma" and come separate us and push them away from me!
*seven*
One of my favorite things she says is "dance momma dance" while she shakes what her momma, errr I, gave her!!
*eight*
She loves and I very seriously mean LOVES her poo poo (aka Lexus). She asks for her multiple times a day and knows when we turn off of 40 she is going to see her and is VERY upset if she isn't at Bevs/Lesas when we get there! We were recently in Ohio for a funeral and I told her her Uncle Michael was going to be there and instantly she said "POO POO" all excited ... needless to say she was bummed to learn she wasn't there but dealt with another little girl that toted her around and played with her all night!
*nine*
I love (and hate) that fact that Bean has been to see the pediatrician so much recently that she knows what the "stick" is for. The doctors/nurses in our office often use it as a diversion until they need it for the actual use of pushing down her tongue to gag her, aka check the back of her throat. As soon as she got it today she turned around and stuck it in my mouth and said "ahhh mommma"
*ten*
I wish I had it on video an I'm still trying to catch it but Bean does the cutest introduction of herself. She holds her hand up and says "HI" (then puts in on her chest) "I BABY".

LOVE HER!
