Kids Say the Darndest Things...Little Updates

The other day the girls and I were at Aldi's doing regular shopping. Well, as most mom's know that shopping with kids are not fun at times, especially Aldi's since usually if you're like me you are stocking up and have a lot of groceries. Anyway, I was checking out and asked the girls to go stand by the tables where you load your groceries. Kayley told me she wanted to get a drink so I told her to go full knowing that she could barely reach the water unless I held her up. Anyway, Cora soon followed her and then Kayley comes up to me and said she helped Cora get a drink. I didn't think much of it as I was quickly trying to get groceries loaded. Then, Kayley mentioned to me that since Cora couldn't reach the water, Kayley put some water on her hand and then let Cora lick it off of her hand. I just started cracking up! Then sure enough a little bit later, I was able to be an eye witness to it! It was hilarious and I was bummed I didn't have my camera, but it sure was funny!

The girls are so funny and are definitely siblings and do what siblings do as you see them love to play with each other as well as fight like crazy. Most of the time it is Cora who picks on her big sister too! I can only imagine how it will be when they get older. The other night Kayley asked Cora to get her and Cora would run up to her and tackle her and they would both fall down and crack up at each other. It was funny to see little bitty Cora take down Kayley.

This is a picture of Kayley, Cora, & Ashlyn taking a bath together the other day. Grandma Bell came up to visit for the weekend to see Toodles and Bubbles. On Saturday, we told Kayley that they could all take a bath together (Kayley, Ashlyn, & Cora that is...) and she could not stop talking about it! They had a blast, especially when Aunt Michelle pulled out the bubbles to blow during bathtime...they are going to want to take baths at Michelle's house all the time!

Oh and on a side note...we sadly had to take Toodles back to the pet store the other day. She often times would nip at me on my fingers when I got her out of her cage and usually that could be calmed and stopped with a treat, but then the other day she kept doing it and she bit me really hard. Well, we decided that she may not be a good mix with our family and were scared that she would end up biting the girls, so we took her back. We still have Bubbles though who is still as sweet as can be and are on the hunt for a friend for her. We'll have to update later on if we get her a friend or not.

And one more thing...the other day I turned on the inauguration and without telling her, Kayley said "Mom, Barack Obama is on tv"...I was impressed that she remembered his name without me reminding her. Back on election day, we had a Parents as Teachers storytime and they had a mock election and the kids voted for either Dora or Diego to be president. We later talked about the election that day and Obama and McCain and how Mommy wanted McCain to win. Kayley wanted to call Daddy and ask him who he was going to vote for. Of course Nick likes to push my buttons and told her he was going to vote for Obama. Kayley told him he was nuts! Then later the next day Kayley asked who won and I told her Obama and she was so cute as she replied with an "Oh man!" It's cute to see how she got into it all and then remembered it all during the inauguration. I will also so it's cute to hear her say their names!
