Brooklyn's Happening


Brooklyn's cut her two front teeth (June 14-16), but it's only now that you can see them!

♥ She has a fetish for the dishwasher, toilet, and the drawer where all the wipes and diapers are.  
She will not leave them alone!

♥ She loves being outside.  She is so good to just stay right on the steps or meander around the yard with the kids.  Brooklyn throws an absolute fit if you make her come in, and 
it's intensified if the kids are still out and she can't stay with them.

♥ She really like Popsicles, and insists on having one with the other kids.  
(The same temper tantrum comes to life if she doesn't get one when they do.)

♥ She seems to enjoy the water park.  
we have only been once, but she liked it plenty.

♥ She has taken to the fake cell phones we have, constantly caring one around saying "HI" and "BYE".  
She also says "yah" in a real breathy way and answers this "yah" to questions like 
"Are you done?" or "Do you want more?"

Brooklyn continues to be her daddy's little buddy, and now totally knows where he is on Sundays.  
I have the hardest time keeping her from not getting up on the stand.

♥ Today, we heard her say "Baby" for the first time, and after much help and guidance from me, 
has taken to a baby doll and it's stroller quite a bit.  So cute.



Other than that, she's just a busy little girl, eager to play with the kids, but consistently left out.
She'll grow into it all though, soon enough.

Be careful with the dishwasher- Taya did that too and now it doesn't latch correctly! She's a cutie!

The Opposite of Christmas Morning

We are having the opposite of Christmas morning at our house.  No toys.  We have one of these for storing toys: And several of these for the same reason: And last night the kids thought dumping them out for the sake of dumping toys would be fun.  This is a major rule breaker in our home.  I have had problems with this in the past, (even Mykalee knows this) and i have told them if it happens again, all the toys will disappear. And last night, after I found out what they had done, the toys have been grounded.  FOR A WEEK.  I hope it's as devastating as possible, so that they will learn I am serious when it comes to dumping toys out. {Also, Brooklyn is the only one who is exempt from this, as she was in bed.  Innocent.} On a side note, we did get the kids this on Friday.  It was time.  They seem to love it.

Breaking News: Brooklyn

Nothing like getting a sharp poke in the ear. Especially when you're two and an half and ASK for it. When Brooklyn was a baby I went to have her ears done, but decided to hold off, since her one ear lobe was so tiny, and her ears were very different in size. So I waited. For her to grow into her ears. And to grow some hair. Still waiting on the hair part, so earrings seemed like a great idea. She asked for them, and since we both wanted them, we went and got them. She picked out a pair, and viola, it was done. She said, "Owwwww!" once, and then laughed when the lady gave her a sucker and began modeling for me and Kyle.  All to show off her new earrings! Yup, seriously, she loves them.  It's pretty stinking cute.  She is constantly telling me, each time we clean and rotate them, "Mom, never take them out, 'kay?" Okay. Deal. And I did mention that we are waiting on some hair, but some is sprouting. So we're hopeful! See, she...
