You know, I really don't know how I feel about the coming of the new year. I am not one, honestly, to make a decision to change/renew/redo something and then wait until the new year to put that plan in motion, so I don't know what a new year really changes for me. It is not my birthday, so I am not suddenly one year older. It is not much of anything for me. It is just a new day. And, the start of a new year. So, I guess that means it is what it is and nothing more.
Is that sad? Is that wrong? Is that ok?
Who knows?
To those who make changes, at the start of the new year, good luck! If I can help, let me know, I will do my best to do so. For those who do not start anything new at the beginning of the new year, good luck to you too!
To all of you out there, with each new day, make the best of the life God has given you! I know I am trying to, even if I don't always succeed! I am only human, after all!
Be careful, be safe, and be you, in the coming new year!
Love, Jamie

Big #2!
Look whose awake!?
Already feeling sassy!
She refuses to look at me!
This evening when I got home from getting some groceries and a little birthday present, we had tiny cupcakes and ice cream to celebrate Meeeeema turning two!
This is so funny! She is trying on her new shirt!
Eating her baby cake!
She is showing me she is 2!
Mommy's littlest big girl!

More Kiddie Speak
Now, first off, I want to say that the only thing making ANY noise at all in my house right now, is the washing machine. With that said, I present you with a kiddie dialogue from literally 37 seconds ago...
"What's dat?" Meeeema asked in a very puzzled and half nervous voice.
"Nothing," I said.
Again, she says, "What's dat?"
Boog replies, "Oh, dat, it's da wind!"
All the while, I am telling myself that it is not the wind, because there is no wind, right now!
Then, I realize she is talking about the washing machine, which happens to be on spin cycle, so I tell her that is it the washing machine.
"Wating kachine?" Meeeeema questions.
"Yep, it's da wating matine," Boog says, like she just solved a mystery!
Meeeeema, apparently settling into the fact that Boog just solved the world's problems by finding the source of the noise, says, "Oh, da wating kachine!"
I think they should come with a language chart! Meeeeema and I almost had a war over the fact that she could not find her "gubs" one day and it really took me a while to figure out that she wanted her mittens. Also, you should have been here when she wanted "kakick," which happens to be chapstick, for those who don't speak kidese! It is amazing that I have made it this far!
Have a great day!

What Do YOU Do?
First off, let me start by defending my parenting skills, because what I am about to tell you will be appalling, at best! I do not normally do anything of the sort, but in this instance, I had to make the best of the situation, so I did!
So, I put my almost 2 year old Meeeeema into the high chair, so I can get breakfast for her, Boog and myself. And, when I got her all settled in, I asked her what she wanted to eat. She reached her meaty little finger out and said, "tips," to which I replied, "CHIPS?" She said, "yep!" I said, "Not in the morning, not for breakfast?" She immediately decided that I had it all wrong and said, again, "tips!" I said, "You know what, chips it is!" So, I sat down next to her and we had chips! After we had chips, she consented to eating a bowl of cereal and I had a whole wheat bagel with peanut butter on it!
Boog hadn't even stopped petting the dog yet, so she did not know what was going on, or she would want chips again tomorrow, but that is probably a whole other problem!
