New things

Things are always changing here, even if I say "nothin' new". Lily is ever so talkative, sometimes making me wonder why I ever wanted a baby genius or to hear my name spoken by such a tiny voice. It is a beautiful thing though to carry on a conversation with a 2 year old, ever wonder what they are thinking, she will gladly tell you! So when I dislocated her elbow last Wednesday and she screamed at me that she needs to go to the doctor because "lily broken" I took her and he taught me how to pop it back into place because this has happened a couple of times (she has a loose joint, common in young kids). She is also a good mom to Michael, telling him what to do and helping him do everything. "One... Michael say One! Good job buddy" They made me laugh when she got to 3 and said 6 instead and he told her "no 3" and she responded with "UGH Michael!

I was so excited when we went to the park the other day, he walked up to a little girl and introduced himself and asked if she wanted to play with him. To some this may seem to simple and not really note worthy, but in our Michael world, this is a huge accomplishment for him. Since he turned 5 at the start of the year, Michael seems like a totally different kid, between his interaction with others, his speech booming, and his rocketing height (almost 40" thank you very much), I feel like he's such a big boy! He told me tonight that he wants his favorite "frieschicken", (that's right one word) but not just that, he wanted me to go to the store and get it. That means he wants McDonalds or Carls, not our microwave goodness.

They also make me aware, often, that I have a baby in my tummy. Michael pats me and says "hi baby" and likes to listen to the heart that he can't really hear. Lily, I told her i have a funny in my tummy and she was quick to remind me "no a baby, Mom"
