This weekend I had 2 (count 'em) previews of what life will be like in the next few months, and in the next few years.
Preview #1: Smiley Face
The "accidental" smiles are increasing in number... and they may not be due to gas! Yesterday morning I caught about three of them in a row. Even if they're just a fad and they disappear for a while, I've gotten a taste and I love it. The real ones should be here be any day now...
Preview #2: Questions
On Friday night we had the pleasure of babysitting Carissa's daughter Mikayla (pictured holding Stella and giving her a puppet show). In addition to being a loveable little 5-year old, she
loves to ask questions.
My personal favorites were:
Why do ponies have tattoos? Um.. well..
What movie do you want to watch? Seems like a simple question, until through a long series of trial and error you realize that the only acceptable answer is "Barbie and the Twelve Dancing Princesses"
And my personal favorite:
Is baby crying because she smells bad?Ah... to be young again. I wait in eager fear for Stella to ask us where babies come from.
We spent the last week and a half at the lakehouse with family...The first weekend Uncle Woody, Aunt Lori, Daniel, and Will were in town and the next weekend Aunt Mary Ann, Uncle Scott, Ally, and Lauren came to play. Stella loved every minute of it!!!! Michelle and I even braved 3 days with just the kids by ourselves, no help. We survived and had a wonderful time! And Annie thought Stella was a super playmate, and liked to share her toys with her. Hee!
