10 - outfit changes today for Abby. She is suddenly obsessed with changing her clothes, especially into dresses. I figured this is a harmless game, until I went into her room and saw the previous outfits scattered across the room.
9 - pacifiers scattered strategically around the house. Kenzie likes to spit them out, and Abby likes to swipe them like a ninja and hide them. Hence, the need for 9 pacifiers. If I could only remember where I put them...
8 - attempts at getting Abby to lay down for a nap while Kenzie was napping. Finally, just like her daddy, she fell asleep in the car.
7 - times I got up with the baby last night. Three were to feed her, and four were to stick the pacifier back in or get her foot unwedged from in between the crib rails... I REALLY gotta get a crib bumper to get some sleep.
6 - verses of "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" sang in a row while shopping today. It is Abby's new favorite song, and I am sure the people in the store would rather hear me sing that than "Alejandro" by Lady Gaga.
5 - baby dolls I sushed and put to bed while playing with Abby today. And no, Kenzie was NOT one of them. If only her eyes would close when I tilted her head back I would NOT be writing this blog at 11 p.m. at night.
4 - calls made to schedule mini vacations so my friends and family can see the girls this summer.
3 - times Abby said "in a minute" after asking her to do something. I wanted to tell her "now" but realized she was only saying what I say to her all the time. After her "minute" though she did what I asked and I was proud she learned it from me.
2.- kids packed and ready to go to the pool tomorrow. It is stressful travelling with two kids, but if I do everything the night before, it saves time and and allows me to get everything without crying children who need something while I am on my way to get the thing I am only going to forget once I address the child.
1 - really pompous blog about my skills. But hey, I'm a mom and if I don't toot my own horn, who will?
