Silly girl

So I am sitting here on the computer on new years eve while Paul is playing his new call of duty black ops play station game that he got for Christmas thinking about a couple of cute/funny things Morgan has said lately that I should document.

• The other day as I was sitting her on the potty after she had an accident in her pants I asked her why she went potty in her pant and not on the toilet and she said "cuz I sick". Then Yesterday she got into the bag balm (which is the consistency of A&D ointment) and spread it all over the rug in Asher's room and on the brand new carpet. After she went into time out I was having a conversation with her about why she did it when she knew she wasn't supposed to play with it (same incident happened earlier this year but on my other rug) and her response was "cuz I sick, like grandpa... and grandma" (who happened to be sick on Christmas) Today I asked her if she wanted her ears pierced and she said no so I asked why and the same response "cuz I sick". I guess that is her new excuse for everything. by the way she actually does happen to be sick
  
• We taught Morgan how to blow kisses a while ago and every time we blow her a kiss and she catches it she says "caught it and put it in my heart". It is seriously the cutest thing ever. She says "caught it" all excited and then in the sweetest little voice while putting her hand over her heart and tilting her head to the side says "and put it in my heart" Paul loves blowing her kisses just to get her to say that.

• Morgan absolutely loves it when I lay down with her to go to bed. (It started out as a one time thing and now has turned into a habit of hers thinking I have to go to bed in her bed with her every night) Any who, the other night as we were laying there she says mom tittle (tickle) my back, sing me a song. So as she rolled over with her back towards me I started tickling her back and singing frosty the snowman as she sipped on her water. All of a sudden she says "mom roll ober (over) I tittle (tickle) your back and sing you. So I roll over and she stated tickling my back, and sing frosty snowman over and over and over. Those are the only words she remembers. Then she hands me her sippy cup and tells me to drink her water and insisted that I did. If she saw me put it down she would stop tickling my back and stop singing to sit up and tell me "you drink water" Luckily she didnt notice I was only faking drinking her water. (I'm not huge on sharing drinks, especially with a sick little girl) I couldn't help but giggle the entire time she was tickling my back and singing. It was too darn cute. I absolutely love listening to her sing.
• Morgan was eating breakfast and put all of her eggs in her mouth to one side and pointed to her cheek and said mom I'm a chipmunk!
• Asher bonked his head the other morning and Morgan so lovingly gave Asher a hug and a kiss on the forehead and said he all better now. She is the sweetest most loving and caring big sister to her little brother!
• Jan 23rd 2011-Morgan loves going to the park. Tonight while we were at the park She kept going down the slides and counting 1,2,3,7,8 Go. I thought it was so cute and funny that whenever she counts she always forgets the 4,5,6 no matter how often I try and teach her to say them she never does.
• Jan 27th 2011- As we were sitting at the kitchen table eating lunch out of no where Morgan starts singing 2 little monkeys. She knew every single word and all the actions. I was blown away because I had never sung that to her before. She must have learned it in nursery. She also knows twinkle twinkle little star. I absolutely love listening to her sing. It is the cutest thing. Tonight when I tucked her in bed she asked me to lay with her, Tickle her back, and sing her a song. Even though this girl is crazy most of the day doing her own thing and never listening she is still the sweetest little girl who I love with all my heart.
• Feb 13th 2011- I was telling Morgan Love you baby girl, and she responds, Lub you baby mom! I thought it was hilarious.
  

I am hoping those were the only main stories I wanted to document. Oh well if not I can always blog about them later, right? Well it is a quarter to midnight now so I better go and spend the last few minutes of the year 2010 with my husband. Hopefully I will get around to blogging about our Christmas, New years, and other happenings soon!

Lessons learned

Yesterday while my sweet husband let me sleep in a little and was supposed to be watching the kids(probably passed out on the couch) Morgan once again got into some candy. This time it was the peppermint bark high up on the counter in a candy jar. She managed to scoot a chair on over and grab some out, not only for herself but she felt very obligated to share with Asher. No wonder why he loves his sister so much. Because she shares ALL of her food with him. Yesterday it was chocolate, Today it was eggs.(and chocolate) Which brings me to where my lesson has now been learned.
Last night Paul was gone working until about 2:30 in the morning and I sadly was sick in the bathroom for about 2 hours when he got home resulting in both of us not getting to bed until about 4:30. Well this morning I was feeling pretty dehydrated and just aching all over so Paul once again got up with the kids. He put on a movie and came back into bed since he was exhausted as well. I knew from past experience that you just can not leave those two little monkeys alone because they get into way too much trouble. Next thing we know Asher is knocking on the door and Paul goes to get him and there is Chocolate everywhere all over the door and walls. That little boy was so happy though and Morgan was very proud of herself for sharing with her brother. I have now learned my lesson that I can no longer have treats out in any sort of reach and I guess I should probably just stop buying them too. But Just look how cute my Chocolate covered little boy is. Don't you just wanna nibble him all up?!

CupCakes

Last night Morgan and I made some cupcakes to take to Pauls brother, his wife, and their girls. We loaded some up on a plate and took them over to the girls. Obviously I haven't learned my lesson about leaving stuff out in Morgans reach, because I left the cupcakes we didn't frost on the counter and when we came home and I was sitting here on the computer, I look over and there is cupcakes all over the carpet. And boy are they enjoying them. Of course I couldn't clean up the mess first without documenting their mischief so I can later show them in life what the little trouble makers they once were.

Temple Lights

Last Night I decided it would be fun to go as a family to go and see the Temple lights. The weather was so nice. Not too warm that it didn't feel like Christmas time, but not too cold that we were freezing our butts off and couldn't enjoy ourselves. Last year Morgan would get so excited to see lights anywhere we were and she would oooh and aaw over all of them. Paul and I were kind of hoping she would react the same way this year because it was so cute. I don't know if its because our kids are kind of sick and were both tired but we hardly got any reaction out of either of them. Morgan did get excited about some of the purple lights though. I think we will have to take them back again when they are feeling completely better and maybe they will enjoy it a little more.

The Pictures are backwards just fyi. Last night after Paul was working he decided that he wanted to have a fire and eat dinner outside. We went to his parents place to pick up some firewood from chopped up tree branches of theirs and came home and Paul and Morgan got to work on building the fire. The kids had fun and it was nice since it wasn't too cold outside. I am excited to roast hot dogs and marshmallows and tin foil dinners in our new fire pit sometime.

Potty Training

We stated potty training Morgan back in June and she was doing so good. After the first few days she got the hang of it and then we went on a camping trip and she kind of relapsed, but then we got her back on track. It has been like that for almost the past 5 months where she will do really good, and then she acts as though she never knew how to go to the potty in the first place.
I am feeling so frustrated right now since I have now changed her pants 3 times today and its only 1:10 in the afternoon. I just don't know what to do. We have tried rewarding her with treats, stickers, etc. Then she learned okay if I go potty I get what I want so then we were taking her potty every 5 min and obviously she wasnt going that often just so she could get a treat. I know she knows when she has to go potty because sometimes she tells us and other times she just stands there with her legs crossed saying no pee pee. Anywho, I am just so tired of this going on. I feel like after 6 months of no diapers during the day she would have the complete hang of it by now. And there is no way I am going back to putting her in diapers and starting this all over again. She is old enough now to be potty trained. Sometimes she tells me she wants to wear a diaper because Asher wears them. What am I to do?!
