Cute kids


Liam is rolling over to his tummy now! He's getting so big and strong. And he's such a cutie.

Mariah is very helpful. She loves to help me clean. Her favorite chore is cleaning the garbage lid. I didn't assign her that, she came up with it herself b/c i always tell her not to touch it because it's dirty. So one day she asked if she could clean it so it would be ok to touch.
Today, she noticed that there wasn't a liner in the bin. All she said was, "We need more." I didn't know what she was talking about. She went straight to where we keep the liners, got one out and put it in the trash bin all by herself, opened and placed neatly around the rim. She's bigger than I realize sometimes.

She does continue to be a stinker though. Today she colored her fingernails blue with a pen. She was very proud and thought they were beautiful. When she finished "painting" them she went to draw a picture at the couch, with a book under her paper of course. She knows not to draw on the couch. But when I came to have a look at her picture, there were blue streaks all over the cushions. The ink on her fingernails was rubbing off everywhere! I quickly took her to the bathroom to wash it off. She protested and whined while we scrubbed, "My nails! My nails!" When we were done she stayed in the bathroom throwing a fit and dramatically wiping her face with a tissue. Then, suddenly the noise stopped. She walked out and casually said with a sigh, "I can't cry... I tried."
