"Bragging" up my girls

My girls are the best EVER!  To prove it here are some of the fantastic things they are doing right now (not right at this moment, but you know what I mean):
  1.  Josie doesn't want me to get stuck in a scary nightmare so she makes sure to cry out, grunt and groan, scratch the side of the pack-n-play, or start talking to herself at least once every hour all night long. 
  2. Bailey is helping me get exercise by constantly bringing all of her toys and craft supplies upstairs so that I can later haul them all back down to the playroom.  She also really needs to "show me something" that is upstairs when we are down and downstairs when we are up.  Sometimes I wish I was a 25 year old mom instead of somewhere in my late 30s. 
  3. Josie likes to alert me when I leave the room (just in case I didn't notice) by screaming loudly until I return to her line of sight.  This is quite helpful when I forget where I am in my own house.  
  4. Both girls help me to regularly check our household appliances for proper usage. Bailey goes through multiple outfit changes depending on the performance she is putting on, the game she is playing, or just her mood at the moment.  Josie like to puke, slobber, and sometimes poop on her clothing.  My washing machine is in perfect working order thanks to them.  Between the multiple snacks, bottles which are repeatedly refused, 3 meals a day, dishes used for "experiments," & other kitchen items that are used as chew toys - my dishwasher gets tested daily as well.  
  5. Bailey likes to keep my mind sharp and alert so she leaves legos, sharp objects, acorns she found on a walk, beads (AKA treasures,) and other very chokeable (is that a word?) objects around the house for Josie to find. I get to search for them constantly and move them to higher ground.
  6. Both girls remind me how much I am loved by being happy to see me and hugging/kissing/smiling at me every time I am almost at my wits end.  LOVE THEM!!

  1. This makes me smile-I can totally relate!
    *My mom told me about your blog and I commend you for your goal of posting every other day. I started one over the summer, but can't decide what direction I want to go with it, so it's just been sitting there!
