TODAY IS THE DAY

I start keeping Miles again today.  My biggest concern is how Bailee is going to react when she learns that Miles is coming to Gigi’s “school” and she isn’t.  Other than that, I’m looking forward to spending some one on one time with the little guy.  We’ll see how it goes!

MAKING MEMORIES

A while back I bought ingredients to make Halloween cookies.  My thought was to have Madi and Bailee over and the girls could decorate them.   I wanted to do something like this last before now, but never did. 

Procrastination, laziness, busy life …… I could give lots of excuses for not following through with my intentions.  Kind of like when I bought blackeyed peas, cornbread mix, etc., to make New Year’s baskets for neighbors, but never did it.

It ended up being only Madi and Gigi decorating because Bailee was sick with the old stomach bug.  We missed her being with us, but still had a good time.  I thoroughly enjoyed being with Madi.

I have to admit that I was worried about picking Madi up from school.  We really haven’t been together very much and my insecurities were telling me that she might not want to be with me.  How silly that was of me, when she saw me and came running toward me with arms outstretched, all doubt was erased!  That made my heart so happy!  I really want to be able to spend more time with Madi. I want to get to know her.  That might sound strange to some, but I’m sure there are some who understand.   I’ll have to make it happen.

BAILEE IS 4

On October 17^th , TahTah and I picked Bailee up from school and took her to Build-a-Bear.  I was surprised at how quickly she decided which bear she wanted to make.  She chose a bunny bear with a birthday shirt and shoes.  Warning to anyone who might be considering going to Build-a-Bear, don’t go when there are no other customers in the store.  Too many options at extra costs are offered when the employee doesn’t have anything else to do. 

She told everyone she saw that it was her birthday, including the mall security guard.  She carried on quite a conversation with him.  Next, we went to the candy store, then to Chik-fil-A.  There she played in their “park”.  She continued to tell everyone it was her birthday and most took the time to stop and talk to her.

After a stop at Gigi’s house, we all went back to school where Bailee enjoyed cupcakes and juice with her class.  At the end of the day, she was one tired four year old!
