1- I need to stop yelling "shut up" to the neighbors dog when Lucy is in bed...apparently she doesn't sleep through it...
Lucy, playing with ponies- "shut up! Rainbow dash!"
Me- "what did you just say?"
Lucy- "Rainbow dash is barking"
Me-.....awesome...."We need to say nice things when we are playing, okay?"
Lucy- "okay, but she not being nice"
2- Lucy has some how inherited both of her parents stubborn streaks...
Lucy- "Can I watch ponies? Please!"
Me- "Yes, we can watch 2 ponies after you put on your pull-up and jammies"
Lucy- "PONIES!", " I WANT PONIES!" for about an hour, naked in her room.
Me- "Put your jammies on and we will"
Over and over and over- on and off for about an hour till...
Me- "Lucy! Do you want to watch ponies?!"
Lucy- "YES! MAMO!"
Me- "Great! Put your jammies on and we will!"
Lucy- "....oh...okay... don't scream at me mamo..."
Me-......really?...
3- Lucy knows all the words to Love is spoken hear and Are you really there. Sweetest thing EVER!
4- Frank is an extremely patient dog
5- I am now called "Mamo" and Chad is "Poppie".
It was a good weekend, no complaints. I swear she grows noticeably older by the day! It's good to slow down and enjoy it. :) For the most part, it sounds funny but I felt like a real adult, I cleaned house, prepped meals, took Lucy to the park, rode bikes, colored and did puzzles, walked Frank, exercised, did some yard work and just enjoyed being around the house and Lucy. Life is good. Routines are feeling normal again.

Lucy and me
I've spent the last couple of days with Lucy. Just her and me, no outside anything. I watch her in awe. It is incredible how big she has gotten. She had strong likes and dislikes. She is independent, but likes to keep a close eye on me and what I'm doing. She is smart and quick. She keeps getting taller and growing. There is a part of me that aches for the days of cuddling her to sleep, or bathing her in the sink. The days before she could sit on Frank and pull his ears, when all she could do is watch him in wonder. Its funny the only way I can get her to wear tights or leggings under her dresses is by promising that she can take them off when she gets home. I love that she has taken an interest in helping me in the kitchen and other small house hold chores like putting away laundry or feeding Frank. Whenever I work out at home she is right there doing it with me. Her latest trick is unlocking the door when we get home. I give her the key and she runs to try and stick it in the door. I love, love, love that she tells me I'm her best friend and that she still wants to cuddle and have me hold her when shes tired or hurt. She is always so happy, no matter what is going on, other outsides stresses hold no weight when I spend a day with her. Making her ponies or barbies talk. building forts, taking pictures, reading books and playing puzzles. Slowing down and just enjoying her and where we are at is so important. I think I realize that everyday. She really is my sunshine.

January
Hello 2015!!! Let's dance.
Lucy, where to start. She is a smart little girl. She grows so fast. She is always happy and talking.
Her favorite things haven't changed much. She loves chicken nuggets and Mac n' Cheese. She still loves to color, play with stickers and draw. She loves to make tents and hide our in random places, behind the curtains. She loves Frank.
Mornings are her happiest time of day. She literally pops up once shes awake and is happy. She pets Frank and talks to him, and then turns to me and asks if Mom's awake yet? And then asks for a bar and milk, somethings don't change. But she will go potty and throw away her pull up and dress herself, I make modifications when needed like when she comes out in a summer skirt and sleeveless shirt, I make her put tights on and layer another shirt. She is rather an independent little thing. She figured out how to open the refrigerator, so I made her a drawer with yogurts, cheese and fruit (apples or grapes) Makes her pretty happy. But I can't keep her out of the fridge now.
The other morning she was in the bathroom and yells "Mom! There's poop coming out of me! LOOK!" Where does she come up with this stuff?
My favorite was the other day I gave her a snack and went to the bathroom. I could her her talking but couldn't quite make out what she was saying when she yells "mom! I'm talking to you!"
She can sit for hours and color or do puzzles. I'll sit with her and color and every once in a while she'll look over and say "oh, you color that for me?" or " wow, you color so good!".
The other day she saw a picture of me with short hair and said "why do you have Dad hair?"
She is always talking and says the funniest things. And she sings some random songs, one day it was Roomer has it and tonight it was Can anybody find me, somebody to love.My favorite was one day at the Solomon's house she was singing It's all about that bass, when her cousin Anna was like she's singing all about that bass! What can I say she has good taste in music.
She's gotten pickier about her hair styles, which kind of cracks me up. But she will specifically ask for an Elsa braid or Anna braids or a pony and sometimes she'll tell me she wants it long and pretty, like a princess.
She is a princess, Sometimes I'll ask her why she's so cute and she'll reply, "no, I'm a princess". She also always comments on what I'm wearing, I think she loves Sunday since we both wear princess dresses.
I can't believe she's going to be a sunbeam! Sometimes it seems like its time and other times I feel like she's still suppose to be my baby.
I look forward to this year and seeing where we are this time next year. So many things have changed in such a short amount of time, its hard to remember everything even with the blog. I love this little girl and am so thankful to have her. She adds so much to my life.
