You're My Sweetheart

Lorelai's current favorite song: "Ho Hey" by The Lumineers.

She goes around singing "I long you, you long meeee, you my seeeeatheaaaaart!"
(I belong with you, you belong with me, you're my sweetheart.)

Out of tune, and in great volume.
She also calls it "the daddy song" for some reason.

All cute.

Real Names

Lorelai is learning that her parents and grandparents have actual names. Not everybody calls us "mom" and "dad."

She knows my name is Megan, though she has only used it once. Chris on the other hand is her new favorite thing to call dad.

After being unable to locate her dad in the house, she walked up to me and asked casually, "Mom? Where's Chris?"

So funny...to me. ;)

Calm Down

Chris was tracking down Adalaide, since she is quite the explorer, and found her in the bathroom. She was playing with Lorelai's training potty...again.

"What's so fascinating about the potty Addy?" He asked.
"Huh? What's so fascinating about the potty? Yeah? What's with that?" ...and so on. All in excited "baby-talk" voice.

Lorelai was listening from the other room, working with her Leappad. Without looking up from her game, she shouted to Chris....

"Dad! [pause] Calm. Down."

Priceless.

NickJr. vs the News

We have a deal.
If Lorelai takes a nap, she may watch 1hr of NickJr. in the afternoon. (2 episodes) If she does not nap, mommy get control over the tv and that means the news at 5pm. This agreement has taken sometime for Lorelai to comprehend, though today I know it has sunk in.

After being in her room for nearly 2 hrs, and being quiet the whole time, I thought for sure she had stayed in her bed and slept.
Ha, ha, ha.
I opened the door to find a stark naked 3yr old in a pile of stuffed animals, dress up clothes, and books.

"Oh, Lorelai...I thought you were napping."

Lorelai sighed. "I'll watch the news, mom."

My Lorelai. ♥

All Worth It

Lorelai: "Mom, you stay wit me?"
Me: "Yeah, I stay home with you."
Lorelai: "Aw, thank you."

Melts my mommy heart.

LEL's New Threads

I know I have already posted this on instagram and facebook, but this moment needed logging in my keepsake blog as well.

I put this new outfit from Noni on Lorelai. She looked down and gasped, "I'm a magician!"

Learning About Animals

Playing with a zoo animal pop up toy, Lorelai and I were discussing the animals, where they live, what sounds they make, and what they eat.

The monkey pops up, holding a banana.

"What is that?"
"Nonkey!"
"Mmmmm, monkey."
"Oh. Mmmonkey."
"What do monkeys eat?"
"I don't know." (totally messing with me)
"Yes, you do. What do monkeys eat? What is he holding?"
"Ummm..." (points to the banana)

"Cheese!"
