Daylight savings time has thrown our schedule BIG time! Lucy goes to bed around 8:30-9 and plays or looks at books till 11, when I go in and tell her to close her eyes. Her normal reply is "but mama, my eyes aren't tired" needless to say she gets up later and later in the morning. Since we didn't have to be anywhere this morning it was nice. We slept in till 930, crazy! Got up, ate some breakfast, ran around town, and went to a movie. We were going to go to the park but she crashed out on the 5 min drive to the park so we came home instead, and she slept for an hour. When she woke up she threw a fit because she couldn't get her dress off to change into a princess dress. She proceeded to scream in her room for at least 20 mins. She's had a little attitude, and has started arguing with me over everything. Being that special week of the month for me I kept thinking what is it gonna be like in a few years! urg! But over all it was a fun day. Tonight we brushed ponies hair and put them in curlers, read a few books and went to bed.
As I sit here and reflect upon my day I know it was a difficult day, but there is no where else I would have rather been. Silently I am glad she is a little stubborn, I hope I can instill the right morals and values, and the the stubbornness will help make these things stick and give her a firm foundation to build upon. I'm glad she has the spark and fire. Though it was far from a perfect day I am so grateful for the bonding time we do have over ponies and books. Those sweet quite moments are to quick and I cherish them more and more everyday.

March
Hello, March!
Have I mentioned that this little girl is a puzzle wiz? She LOVES puzzles, and she does them pretty fast. I'm always impressed. I feel like she had grown lots this past little while but at the same time nothing really changes- She is happy, loves to go shopping, play at the park, go on walks, chase the animals, paint or color, play with toys and just hang out.
She is slowly getting more sassy, talks back and likes to argue. Drives me crazy! Half the time she argues and doesn't even know what shes saying or argues when I'm agreeing with her... I wonder what the teenage years will look like- hehehe...yikes
She loves Frank and Mittens, I am constantly surprised by the amount of patience they have for her.
This month it seems like she smacked her mouth on everything. Her little lip would heal and then she'd hit it on something else. I am thankful she hasn't broken her little teeth out-
She is learning left and right- when we drive she will ask me and sometimes tell me we are turning - left or right. She will also comment on red lights and green lights- I think she got that from "Go, Dog, Go" Thanks Dr. Susse-
She sleeps in her bed all night every now and again- the other morning she came running into my room and said " I slept in my bed all night!", I said "good job!" and then she said "I peed my bed" runs back in her rooms and yells "mom are you gonna clean that up?" Which I said "yes, and you're gonna help me" And she tells me "oh, that's gross, mom"- welcome to my life kid.
We went and watched her cousin, Lily dance in Snow white- I think she liked it. She said she wanted to be a ballerina for a couple of days after.
She still loves her my little ponies and princesses, but has started playing with stuffed animals a little bit more which is nice since she has a lot of them.
There are times I look around at my messy house and think "what a mess" and there are times I look around and realize that one day, (that will come all together to soon I will miss this). I will miss toys in the bath tub and finding my little ponies in every room of my house. So I remind myself to smile and enjoy it while it lasts.
