The joys of parenting

Oh we wish children came with an instruction manuel!! To share some of Taylor's oneryness I thought I would tell about our day today. Taylor has discovered biting however has not discovered how naughty it is. She will sometimes say "I bite" before she bites you and then you know it is coming and can stop it. But today she bit Zach when he was helping me cut her toenails. So we put her in time out. Of course she cried and was saying "mommy". Oh so heartbreaking! Then after her time was up we explained to her it was naughty, etc and I told her tell daddy she was sorry, which means give a kiss, etc. Well she went over to Zach gave him a kiss and hug and said "sorry". Oh even more heartbreaking but so cute at the same time!!?? Its hard to be serious but not laugh or give her the biggest hug when she does something like that. Then after her nap I heard her laughing and talking in her crib, having a good time with Elmo and her bunny. So I went to peek through the door and noticed she was holding her diaper in the air and then trying to put it back on. It was so funny yet not funny. Oh the joys of parenting!!

Summer

Hello to all!! Hope your summer is going as well as ours. We have been enjoying time all together and staying busy. Zach taught summer school the month of June and my work is going well as usual. Taylor has been having fun in her pool, playing with her cousins, and doing anything outside. She is usually full of misjif and enjoys saying "NO". Zach and I went to Vegas a few weeks ago and had a blast and now we are starting to prepare for our Lake of the Ozarks trip. We have had a great summer so far!! Miss you all and love you! God Bless!
