Pooping Baby doll

So, for her birthday, Sydney wanted a pooping and peeing baby doll. Her Jamma and Grandpa Glasscock bought one for her. It is the funniest thing I have ever seen. She loved it until it came time to change it's diaper. Here's a little video. The funny thing is, she still loves to feed the baby and take care of it. Yes, even change it's diapers. I made some cloth diapers for it. Thank goodness, too. They others are expensive!

Preschool for Syd.

Sydney started preschool on Tuesday. Though it is just a simple preschool at the high school, which is more like a play date, Sydney loves it. she was so excited to show off her work! Syd is a little cutie! Big FOUR YEAR OLD!!!

Happy Birthday Sydney!

Here are pictures of what was supposed to be a candy tree cake. It turned out more like a green gooey mountain of candy. O well, hope you like it Sydney! Love you!

KIDS SAY THE FUNNIEST THINGS.

I TOOK SYD TO HER GYMNASTICS CLASS THE OTHER DAY. JOSH WAS AT HOME SLEEPING AND ELAINA WAS AT SCHOOL. SO, IT WAS JUST THE TWO OF US. I WAS TELLING SYDNEY TO BE SURE TO SPEAK UP AND TELL HER COACH WHAT HER NAME IS WHEN SHE IS ASKED, SO THEY WILL KNOW WHO SHE IS. AFTER HER CLASS, SHE TOLD ME..."I DID IT! I TOLD HER MY NAME AND SHE DIDN'T EVEN HAVE TO ASK ME!" OF COURSE, I COMMENDED HER ON A JOB WELL DONE. THEN, SYDNEY SAID, " YEAH! I HAVE TO TELL HER MY NAME SO SHE DOESN'T HAVE TO SAY WHO ARE YOU ANGEL?" i TEASED HER ABOUT CALLING HERSELF ANGEL...HER REPLY MADE ME SMILE! "I AM MADE OF SUNSHINE, SO I CALL MYSELF ANGEL!"
I KNEW EXACTLY WHERE SHE GOT THE IDEA THAT SHE WAS SUNSHINE...HER DAD! THE WORLD WOULD BE A MUCH BETTER PLACE IF EVERY LITTLE GIRL HAD A DAD LIKE JOSH TO REMIND THEM HOW WONDERFUL THEY ARE. THESE ARE THE LITTLE THINGS THAT MAKE ME LAUGH AND SMILE...AND FEEL SO LUCKY!

SECOND GRADE...IS SHE REALLY SEVEN?

First Day of Second grade. Elaina looks cute, but me... not so much! I had just gotten off work that morning!

OK, SO I HAVE POSTED ABOUT SYD QUITE A BIT LATELY...NOW IT IS ELAINA'S TURN. ELAINA TURNED SEVEN IN AUGUST. WE HAD A FUN LITTLE FAMILY GATHERING TO CELEBRATE. THEN, WE WENT TO LEO'S PLACE FOR PIZZA AND TO PLAY. IT WAS FUN. I HOPE SHE HAD A GOOD BIRHTDAY. ELAINA HAS A LITTLE FRIEND AT CHURCH THAT WE INVITED TO THE LAKE WITH US...WHEN IT WAS WARM ENOUGH. ELAINA'S COUSINS CAME ALONG, TOO. WE HAD A GREAT TIME. THEY ALL PLAYED SO WELL TOGETHER.

THEN, SEPTEMBER 1ST, ELAINA WENT BACK TO SCHOOL. SHE IS VERY ESCITED ABOUT HER TEACHER. MOSTLY, SHE WAS THRILLED TO HAVE A SCIENCE BOOK THIS YEAR...SHE TAKES AFTER ME! ha! ANYWAY, I AM AMAZED THAT SHE HAS GROWN UP SO QUICKLY. I GAVE HER A HAIR CUT FOR BACK TO SCHOOL. SHE WANTED BANGS, SO I DID MY BEST. WHEN I WAS DONE, I COULDN'T STOP STARING AT HER. SHE LOOKS SO GROWN UP. I KNOW THAT PEOPLE SAY THAT TIMES ZIPS RIGHT PAST YOU WHEN YOU ARE NOT EVEN LOOKING. WELL, IT IS TRUE. I AM SURE I DON'T EVEN KNOW THE HALF OF IT YET!

I DEFINITELY DON'T TELL ELAINA THIS ENOUGH, BUT YOU ARE AN AMAZING, KIND AND LOVING GIRL! I LOVE YOU SWEETY! I AM VERY PROUD OF YOU!

LOVE MOMMY!
