Chatter Box...X 2

I used to just beg my daughter to be quiet for one minute because she talked so much when she was little. Now I have two chattering up a storm. There is rarely a quiet moment in the house. The only time they are not talking is when they are sleeping or into one of their tv shows.

I do love how their vocabulary has grown and what long sentences they can make now.

The most common phrases:

I do it by meself.

Just one second. (while holding up three fingers)

Wait a minute Mawmaw, wait a minute.

Hear that?

No, I’m fine. (anytime I ask if their diaper is wet)

No, I don’t like ________ (fill in the blank with absolutely anything, whether they really like it or not)

I like _______.

I want a popsicle.

What you doing Mawmaw?

Where _______ at? (fill in the blank with every human and animal they know by name)

I wanna watch Sprout.

The Cost of a Child

According to a new government study released this week it costs about $221,000 to raise a child from birth to age 17. That breaks down to about $1,083 per month for one child.

We have three. That’s $3,249 per month.

Actually, I think my three girls are priceless.

Potty training continues...

We haven’t gotten just full time serious about potty training yet but we do work on it.

Only bad thing, since I took a picture of each of the girls’ first poops and made a big deal out of it, they think we are suppose to make a picture every time they poop now. They start saying “make picture of it” and pointing to it. I’m doing it to appease them…but I really have enough poop pictures. I can’t just “pretend” to make a picture because they want to see it on the camera after I snap.

If they are smart enough to know all that, they should be smart enough to start using the potty, wouldn’t you think?

New Shoes

We just couldn't resist getting the girls these shoes from The Children's Place this weekend. Also got a green plaid skirt and matching hair bows and a green top to complete the outift. The green looks good with their red hair. I LOVE that store!

I'll get pics of the entire outfit when they wear them. I can't wait for cooler weather so they can wear their new fall clothes.

I was turned on to this video by Lauren. I hope she doesn't mind me sharing it on my blog.
