• Okay, it's been entirely too long, again.  I keep doing this.  Well, after reading http://www.xanga.com/home.aspx?user=LuckyStars I was encouraged to write a little bit about my little ones. 

  
  

  Every single morning I have the pleasure of being woken up by my little bed-head, sleepy-eyed peanut.  She shuffles into our bedroom holding, always, her baby and her sippy cup.  She comes to my side of the bed, always, and just waits...for me to pick her up and put her between me and the daddy.  We whisper for a little, g'mornin', how'd you sleep, I love you like crazy, sweet girl...then, without fail, she leans over to daddy.  "Let's go downstairs and get my vitamin."  Every single morning...without fail.  She loves them Flintstone's lemme tell you.  She's got to do it by herself too...well, after you open the childprood cap, that is.  This morning tho' we had a little misunderstanding.  I'm still cringing.  I got out of the shower and went for some snuggles...and of course to ask which color did she have this morning.  She went on to tell me that she didn't get a vitamin, that Daddy didn't...that she couldn't....and she cried....  Well, being the mommy, I thought she meant that she threw a 2yr-old tantrum, daddy took the vitamins away until she apologized and calmed down.  So, I told her atleast 30 times to go right back downstairs young lady and tell your daddy you're sorry.    Mommy was wrong.  Mommy ended up apologizing.  Daddy hadn't seen that Kyra didn't get her vitamin because she was having problems getting one out.  So she came up onto our bed and just layed down and was sad until she could figure out what to do...and what'd I do??  Yell at her.  Ugh.  I just wanted to hold her forever.  We did get to have some good snuggles this morning after that fiasco...thankfully.

  
  

  First official lesson in jumping to conclusions as a parent.  I will learn from this.  I don't ever want to see that sad face again...not with mommy being the cause of it.  She's getting some huge hugs tonight, lemme tell you!!
