Every day Occurences

We have had a rough week. The condensed version of what has been happening includes (but is not limited to): lack of sleep, crying, humidifiers, coughing, lack of smiles, sore throats, and a mommy who would have gone over the edge had Daddy not been Superman and helped in every way possible. Despite the difficulties I still caught some pictures of funny every day occurrences.
Hope spilled breakfast on her PJ's so I took them off downstairs in the kitchen. She kept saying, "I want shirt. I want shirt." Since I was in the middle of cleaning up breakfast I told her to go upstairs and get a shirt. She went upstairs and came down with 2 pairs of pants, socks, shoes and a bow. Everything but a shirt! I put them on anyway and told her that she did a great job.

The second part to Hope's clothing choice is that when we went upstairs to her room I noticed this pile of clothes she created while upstairs........there are probably 10 shirts in that pile........I guess just not the one she wanted........ =)
This is one of Jared's favorite photos. We keep putting Hope on the potty and she loves to sit on it. She never goes to the bathroom but loves to sit on it. This was Hope trying on my reading glasses. What a big girl. What followed next was a phone call to Daddy and Hope jibber-jabbered while sitting on her potty. I then saw her grab a book and flip through it on her potty. I couldn't get her off of it for probably 30 minutes.

Hope likes to play in my bathroom cabinet while I get ready in the morning. This day she was thrilled (and very quiet) to find stickers.........

Sweet Bryce..........He has been pretty sick and I am so glad that he is getting better. We have missed his giggling, cooing, and smiles. He has just started to jibber jabb "dada, dada, dada" and although he is still battling a runny nose and coughs he is back to being his gentle mannered little self.

Hope......I don't understand her. She battles me almost every day for both naptime and bedtime. She seems to loathe bedtime, but give her a empty laundry basket and what does she want to do with it? Make a bed........
