Funny story

I just remembered a funny story...

Sara has a very strong fondness for the lovable, furry, monster named Elmo. It all started at her first birthday when we did an Elmo theme. Well the other day at Wal-Mart I was looking for a new book for Sara and I found a really cute Elmo one. It was a pop-up book that also had the buttons on one side that when you push them it makes the said that correlate with the pages. Anyway, she loved pushing the buttons and listening to the music while we were in the store. There was shrink wrap around the book so you couldn't open the pages. So when we got home I took the wrapping off and read her the book. Then I gave her the book to play with because she has never torn any of our books. Well on the last page of the book is a pop-up of Zoe another monster friend of Elmo. Elmo is also on the page but he isn't a pop-up. Sara literally had the book out of my sight for two seconds and the next then I know she is brining my Zoe from out of the book. Of course, I tell her that was not nice and that she should not have done this. Well anyway, I think that she must have not liked her friend Elmo having another "girl" friend:) Zoe was the only one that got ripped out of the book.

Terrible Twos

So Sara is only a little over 15 months but I think those dreaded terrible twos have set in...:( She has now started to scream and throw herself on the floor if we don't give her what she wants. It is normally over not getting picked up or getting a bottle when she wants it. She has always been a very independent spirit and strong willed child, from day one. I love my baby but there are times that I would like to be able to throw myself on the floor and kick and scream...I'm hoping that all the other moms I know have felt this way at one point:) Also, it makes it so darn hard to discipline her when she sticks out her bottom lip right before she starts crying. Our children and like our husband in the fact that some times you can't live with them but you cant live without them.

On a side note Sara started doing the funniest thing...well I think it is funny I'm not sure what Josh thinks. Well as most everyone knows I do in-home daycare so my daycare kids call my husband by his first name. Well yesterday Sara started saying "Daa-sh" and then she would say "da-da" and then alternate between the two for several seconds. It was really cute that she learned her daddy's name but I'm not sure Josh likes her calling him by that name...I'm pretty sure he is really fond of the name "dada". I try to encourage Sara to say "dada" but she only thinks it is funny and keeps on saying "daa-sh".
Anyway...that is what is going on with us.
