Marlee's First Musical

We took Marlee to see the Shallowford Falls Elementary School production of The Wizard of Oz last night.  Grammy is a drama coach, and Auntie Jenna works stage crew, so we had a personal interest in the show.  

Marlee LOVED it!  She sat through the entire first half (a little over an hour), got a backstage tour during intermission, then enjoyed about 30 minutes of the second half before she was ready to go home and go to bed.  Her little feet were dancing with every song, and she even waved her arms above her head during a particularly rousing number.  I really only expected her to last about 20 minutes, but she was totally into it.  Like mother, like daughter!

Her only suggestion:  Grammy, pick a show with more animals next time!  Toto was good, but more is always better.

Holy Belly, Batman!

Oh boy!

Sentences and an Ouch

Marlee is starting to string words together.  Her first sentence was "More blueberries, please!"  Just now, my cell rang with Michael's distinctive ring, and she said, "Momma, it's Daddy!"  It amazes me how much she's talking and how quickly it started.

While I was typing this post, MJ fell and split her lip open.  The tears have stopped, and we're treating the wound with a popsicle.  It's her first bleeding injury. :(

There was just so much blood...mouths are like that.  It was awful.  I'm sure it won't be the last time!  Sniff.

Thank You, God

for blessing us with this miracle.  I can't believe I get to have another one of these:

One and a Half!

MJ is 18 months old today...we're on our way to 2!  Where does the time go?

On the Potty Train

While we were at the cabin, Marlee said, "Poopy, mama."  I took her to the potty, and she did!  It's the first time she's actually told me before the fact.  Usually, I just catch her and take her in, or she tells me when she's finished.  I'm considering this a major accomplishment...even if it was just once. :)
