My Girls...

I do feel a little guilty that Addison is missing in this post...but he has a GREAT time at school all day instead of being made to pose for pictures to appease mom's blogging addiction...he'll get his special post later :)

I MUST give a special note for Laynie...she has totally and completely conquered potty training!! She doesn't even tell me most of the time, and she has gone 2 weeks without an accident!! This seriously feels like A MIRACLE to me! After asking her for months if she wanted to try sitting on the potty and always getting a NO! in response...the very words "mommy, I have to go potty" seriously sound like the hallelujah choir to me! WAY TO GO LAYNIE!

This picture I had to post for Claire and Tiffany...Claire, thank you for all of Laynie's CUTE 3T clothes...I especially LOVE the jogging suit and totally think of you when she wears it!

Too bad there is not some reality show for 'Happiest Baby'... Haiely would totally win. She is so mild mannered and smiley!! She is 6 months old today and I honestly cannot believe that...half a year already? She is lovin the rice cereal or any food-related item really...the cheeks will witness that she is a good eater!! She loves to watch Addy and Laynie, they are the ones that get her to laugh more than anyone else!

I have been thinking a lot about my mom-role the past few days. I listened to myself last night say to Addison "When I ask you to do something, I don't want to talk about it...I just want you to do it!" and then I cringed! Why am I not "talking nice" like I always tell my kids to do?! So I made a goal to be better today, and I was in deed a little better. I love being a mom, I just wish I could remember that fact better during the whining, mess-making, and disobedient portions of my day.
