Lazy day with my girl

Yesterday Sadie and I spent the day just lounging around. I had some errands to run, but we were tired and it was rainy so we stayed home. Why were we so tired, you ask? Well, that would be because Elijah was punishing me for some unknown crime by being up during the night. Beau got up with him at 3am to put him back to bed. Then, I got up to feed Sadie at 5am and noticed Elijah's light was on. (note: it was really his lamp next to his bed, but the night before his bulb burned out and I had to replace it. I only had a 60 watt bulb so it was BRIGHT in his room) I opened the door, he was sitting in bed "reading" and said "hi Mama!". I got on to him for being up (but at least he was in bed), turned his lamp off, and left. He got up while I was feeding Sadie. He got up again after I went back to bed, I put him down, then up again after I went back to bed. The last time I got up with him I told him if he didn't go to bed he couldn't go to preschool. That was working for a few minutes, but as I was leaving I heard him say "I don't want to go to preschool, I don't like Mrs. Ginger, Mrs Ginger is bad". Whatever, he loves her. All in all I finally got back in bed at 6:30am and then had to get up at 7:45 to start the day. (he did make up for it by sleeping all night last night though). On top of that it was the kind of day that calls for you to stay inside in your pjs and cuddle on the couch. It was the official first day of Fall and it felt like it, plus it was rainy. So we did.

I got some more shots of my Sugar Plum. Thanks to JoCarol for the super cute lounge-wear....


Just in case you thought the Bitter Beer Face was a one-time deal, its not. I think this is what she'll look like when she's 95 and has no teeth or hair!...

This is better...

I realized I need to get some pics of Elijah. He's really funny and makes me laugh every day! He is really in to telling me what to do. As long as he's not rude and its not in a bossy tone I let him. For example: he'll say "I'm going to run fast and you're going to say 'Wow!'" or every time he leaves for preschool he says "You stay here and take care of Sadie!"

I may have sabotaged our Potty Training Scheme. Today I was putting Elijah down for a nap and I knew he wasn't going to sleep, but told him he had to rest. He was wet so I changed his diaper. A few minutes after I walked out he came out and told me he had tee teed in his diaper. I didn't have any more diapers in the house. Sams was out of 4's and I just haven't bought any. I got mad because I'm pretty sure he did it on purpose so I said "We don't have any more diapers" He told me to look in the closet, I showed him the empty box, he said "Maybe Aimee can get me a diaper" I said no she can't, he just has to tee tee in the potty. He said "okay" but in a very "if I have to" attitude. A few hours after that he pooped in the wet diaper, wanted a new one and we told him we don't have any more and put underwear on him. Not really sure what to do about that for tonight (church) and tomorrow (preschool). We'll see.
