I love when Elliott's mom comes for a visit. She is such a relaxing presence to have around. We can't figure it out but the house magically gets clean while she visits and everyone is happier and calmer. Alice has started calling her Ava-Grandma so cute! Aunt Wandy let Alice help her out while she worked on an entire puzzle today. Wandy has the patience of a saint. Elliott and I got this electric room heater that looks like a stove we were able to put it in the back bedroom for a few minutes and it was instantly warm. Our little neighbor girl- J has been learning to sew and Ava helped her a lot tonight. We also took off to the thrift store for a while and found tons of good finds and didn't spend all that much. I'm starting on my christmas stockpile for next year. Now I just have to make sure Alice doesn't find it and claim anything in it for her own.
Alice'isms
"I'm a little stinker" (wearing a cute skunk shirt)
"spink me, spink me!" (wanting her back and bottom patted while she snuggles)
"I don't love my baby, I love my horsie." (said while pointing at her baby that mamaw made indicating loving it)
"You brought my Ella!" Ella's home!! (not our dog)
I have a miserable cough but I'm almost able to sleep through the night again, so is Alice. The other night she must have heard me coughing she crawled into bed and had me lay my head on her chest (I was worried I was going to squish her) she told me " you feel better soon mommy, lay your head down, I fix it" Then she proceeded to gently pet my head. Each morning for the last few weeks she has asked if I'm still sick, if I am still coughing she nods, tucks me back in and tells me to rest some more. I have the best baby girl on the entire planet! She is almost totally potty trained too. We still put her in a diaper for nighttime because she sometimes forgets or will pee on her way to the potty firt thing in the morning.
She will be 3 in 4 months I can hardly believe how quickly time flies!
