Domesti-Kated Life

Kylie's latest ploy to not stay in her big girl bed ... "I got nails, I need my nails clipped Dad!"

Last night kiddo was pooping ... when she was done she said it was her poopy snake. She started to jump off the toilet and said she wanted to pet the poopy snake ... luckily I stopped that one ...

Exciting week here in Phoenix ... Kylie has gotten hopping down - just like the bunny in her "new" book from the library 'Biscuit and the Class Pet' which we've read no short of a dozen times since Sunday! Tonight she had swim class and is getting better each week with her back floating and listening.  She learned to say "I had a toilet baby" courtesy of one of her parents (I'll give you 3 guesses!). She is also ready for baby brother to come out and play. She asks for him to come out and play almost every day - - tonight she rested her head on my belly and said "Go night-night with baby brother" and gave him a big 'ole kiss at bedtime. A-DOR-ABLE. Hopefully she's not too upset when she realizes he won't be able to play with her for a little while!

Well with 3 1/2 weeks (give or take) to go until we are a family of 4 there is still a lot to do, but Kylie is taking all of my energy! Ryan has been great doing dishes, helping with laundry/cleaning etc. but sometimes I wonder how we're going to manage being parents of 2. Kids are a lot of work! I realized today that I am on the last days of my time being pregnant in my life - we aren't planning to have any more kiddos. 1 girl and 1 boy and we're done! BUT that means I am almost done feeling baby kicks and being unable to bend over easily and having a shelf to eat cereal off of - - kinda makes me sad!

Bug: Cries at door at 715 Dad: Can you go back to bed for a little bit? Bug: No dad, it's daytime out! We've been doing gymnastics for a couple months now, and she is finally able to do the class without parent help - - listening very well to her Coach! FINALLY - College Football is back!! Go Buckeyes!!! Bug's OSU cheerleading outfit from last year still fits, although it is a big short, as I type this she is spinning in circles LOVING wearing her OSU beads and Buckeye necklace and Ohio State "tutu"!
