I asked Heather to play with Shayla while I did some work on the computer. When I went upstairs to check on them a little bit later Heather had put Shayla in her blue baby chair so that they could both sit and watch SpongeBob. She had buckled Shayla in and everything! Totally adorable!! Then Heather asked if she could have some pudding. I told her that was just fine and I went back downstairs for a few more minutes. When I came back up Shayla had this innocent look on her face, along with globs of pudding! So being the good mom that I am what do I do?...... Rush to get the camera!!! It is so cute because Heather had even put a bib on her!! Shayla looked like she wanted more so I put some on the spoon, but as I brought it to her mouth she held her hand out for it. I put it in her hand and she put it right into her mouth all by herself! She licked it for a minute and then dropped the spoon. I put more pudding on it and she did the same thing. I realized that she was sucking all the pudding off and then dropping the spoon when it was empty so I could give her more! She is such a smart cookie!!!

Time
I can not believe it has been a MONTH since I last wrote something! Alice called today and asked why I wasn't updating my blog anymore. I didn't realize it has been that long!! I wish I could say that my life was so exciting and so busy that I just didn't have the time. Unfortunatley I have done nothing exciting. Darrel has spent the last month working late hours. It takes everything in me to be mom and dad 24/7. There is no time left over to do what I want. I think it is crucial for everyone to get that time to do what they want. To be who we are instead of what we are. What I am is a mom. But that is not who I am. I need to do things like scrapbooking with the girls, date night with my husband, or even just soaking in the tub with a good book to help me remember that I have a name other than mom. So I want everyone who reads this to make sure they take some time for themselves to remind them of who they are!
