Dorothy

Last Sunday my 2 year olds fish "Dorothy" died. My husband and I didn't know how or if we should tell her so for almost a week the tank with the dirty water has set empty and just about every day when my husband comes home from work he asks me did she ask about the fish? No that is not until this afternoon. She moves her car (this is what she uses as her step stool) around to the tank and says "I want to feed Dorothy" and then says "I don't see Dorothy where is she"

Well I told her that she got very sick and had to go to Heaven with God. She was a little upset at first and then replied "we will have to go the the Grocery Store and get another Dorothy" Then she wanted to call my husband and tell thim that Dorothy died and went up to Heaven with God.

That went a little better then I expected.

Sunny Day

I took my daughter to the gym today to play.
When we left we were walking outside and my daughter says to me look mom it's a really sunny day. Then at the top of her lungs sang the "Sunny Day" song from Sesame Street. It was very cute and people around me were commenting to me how cute she was.

I also have a new game for us to play "Monster Tag"

When we were at the park today a Grandpa was there with his two grandkids and he played monster tag with them and included her. You were "Safe" if you were on the play structure and slides otherwise the monster could get you. She had a great time and also got the concept of what was going on. The whole way home from the park she was talking about monster tag.


I often wondered what I would do with all my "free" time as a stay at home mom but I seem to be filling up my days with wonderful things and memories.

I'm still new at this!!!

OK so it took me a few minutes to figure out how to post my new blog but I got it figured out.

It's 3:10 in the afternoon and its taken my daughter 40min to fall asleep. This is not the norm for her it's usually less than 5min but when she does this I always go into panic mode thinking we will never get her to fall asleep again. Funny how you get used to a 2-3 hour nap in the afternoon and get nervous when you daughter dosen't fall right to sleep.

My first blog

I have finally taken the plung into the blogger world...my husband a seasoned blogger has finally convinced my to be a blogger.

I hope that this will be a good forum for journaling and getting my thoughts out on "paper"
