  • learned a very important lesson tonight. Never try to play wrestle 4 children at once! #
  • @Cullens_Girl I think both of your kids have entered a loud age at once. 1YOs and 4YOs both tend to be a bit LOUD! #
  • 8YO got up and started school immediately (her choice) and was done by 10:30! Woo-Hoo!!! #
  • @stretchmarkmama Mine began @ 6, & 2 yrs later 8YO types 20 wpm. Here’s where she started (scroll down?): http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/t … #
  • @stretchmarkmama Oops. Link didn’t tinyurl. May have to scroll down, too. http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/typing/ #
  • Oh wow!! I’ve been using this site for years for typing. They do more than typing!!! http://tinyurl.com/jyxgl #
  • @stretchmarkmama I didn’t learn to type until my sophomore year in HS, but I am assuming kids are learning earlier these days! 😀 #
  • @stretchmarkmama When they get bored with the BBC site, there is a more advanced program called masterkey (works on a mac). #
  • More on parental rights and CRC: http://tinyurl.com/d3tmcl #
  • someone please tell me this is an age related phase. My 6.5YO seems to do everything he possibly can to bother people! Suggestions? #
  • @bradshorr Happy Birthday!! #
  • Is it possible to get the things you don’t have? Kind of like asking if tomorrow ever comes. #

The 4th has her 3rd

Three years ago today, I gave birth to the biggest baby ever (for me). She was 8 lbs 13 oz. I went completely natural with her and finally gave in and took an epidural. I was full of regrets when she was born one hour later. I could’ve lasted one more hour…really!

This was the year that Bethany discovered the excitement of being the birthday girl. When I called her birthday girl early this morning, her response was, “I am not the birthday girl.” By mid-day, she was saying, “Mom, do you like birthday girls?” Of course, the answer was “yes, especially a little birthday girl named Bethany.”

By bedtime, she was bragging, “I’m the birthday girl.” I am sure that by tomorrow morning, she will be ready to have the “It’s my birthday” celebration all over again! I believe she thoroughly enjoyed the benefits of those two little words “birthday girl!”

Her day began with getting to choose her own breakfast: chicken nuggets. Then she got to open her presents, which included 2 dresses* and a backpack.

We also went to the house of some friends, who dressed her up in princess ballerina wear and paraded her around as the “birthday princess.”

When we got home, she got to ride the bus (which she loves) to the library. We accidentally arrived after they closed, but she did not care. She was thoroughly enjoying that bus ride and one on one time with Mommy.

At home after our library adventure, we ate pizza (a rare treat around our house) and brownies. Then I read a book to her and put her to bed.

I think she had a very exciting day for a 3 year old. I am sure she has high expectations for tomorrow because she has very little concept of time and has no idea that her day is over tomorrow.

I just need to make sure she knows that she is as important to us any day as she is on her birthday!!

* My camera batters died, so I was not able to post a picture. I hope to post one in the next few days.

  • I just organized my 1st group on facebook. Come join the group! http://tinyurl.com/ceb8kn #
  • @Lorrie58 Cool! Now I have to figure ou thow to approve those who have requested. My husband tried to join & I can’t figure it out. 🙂 #
  • @Lorrie58 I think I got it. You and my hubby are approved! #
  • Got a free ibook yesterday… Actually it is spelled “Eye Book,” and it is written by Dr. Seuss. 😀 #
  • 2YO, “Mom, say ‘bite it.'” Me, “Bite it!” Then I notice she is holding a lollipop. Me, “No, don’t bite it.” What a sneak! 🙂 #
  • My 2YO just dumped 5 or 6 cups of water out of the tub onto the floor. Fortunately, I had just cleared the floors for mopping. #
  • When your 2YO throws water at you, mop the floor with it! #
  • Retweeting @lucatony “Light travels faster than sound This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.” #
  • @Cullens_Girl Good luck! I am sure you will enjoy a walk down memory lane! 🙂 #
  • Any one else wonder why Cinderella’s glass slipper didn’t change back like the pumpkin and dress? #
  • @Lorrie58 I’m glad you are okay. #
  • @Lorrie58 Maybe it is b/c the prince touched one of them. It would give the magic away if it suddenly changed in his hand. I dunno. #
  • @stretchmarkmama LOL! Your speech therapist must have a wonderful sense of humor! 🙂 #
  • Our new large (handicap) van is tall enough for someone to jump from our 2nd story window & land safely on it. (No, I haven’t tried it). #
  • @Cullens_Girl Yep! I thought of that! I’ll have to let one of the kids test it out. Kidding! Just kidding! #
  • Oh no! My 2YO is acting like a teenager!! She’s in the “argue no matter what you say” phase. #
  • I just used a sponge mop to shovel the driveway. I don’t recommend it. 😐 #
  • I think the ER is going to know us by name. Taking Candice in for wheezing. 🙁 #
  • I think the ER is going to know us by name. Taking my 12 mo old in for wheezing. 🙁 #
  • The verdict of 12 month old’s ER visit: RSV. Nothing serious but may need nebulizer a few times. #
  • @simpsonsparadox Amen!!!! #
  • I am thrilled with the playpen someone gave me to replace the one I “gave” away. It is the nicest one I’ve ever had!! #
  • I had to share an error in the instructions on the bottom of my playpen. Instructions say, “You should here a click….” Oops! #
  • The Rights of the Child should not be passed and could be dangerous to our children if it is. http://tinyurl.com/7muzv4 #
  • While trying to playfully hit hubby, my hand hit the couch & bounced & I ended up hitting myself. That’s me! Grace is my middle name. 🙂 #
