The New Haircut

He's so proud of how good he was with getting his haircut. He was happy to pose and cheese for me. Seriously....I know he's mine but this smile is contagious. :)

Mommy's Shoes

These are the shoes that I got at the beach that Miss Taylor does NOT like. Luke however is quite fond of them. :)

Taylor's fav song right now. video here. She LOVES it. She bobs her head in the car and says...MOMMY I like this song and talks about how soft her hair is when she's flipping it every where. lol

Potty talk today.
{Luke poops a little bit, stands up and looks}
Luke: {upset} I wanna BIG poopy. {sits back down}
Taylor: AWW MAN! try again Luke.
Luke: Sissy stop it.
{Later after Luke goes more}
Luke: MOMMY look...I big poopied!
Taylor: {Inspecting it} OH MY GOODNESS....GOOD BOY LUKE!

{Taylor still sitting on the potty while Luke is done and running around playing}

45 mins and counting of screaming from Taylor saying "GET IT OFF ME, I DON'T LIKE IT"...why you ask? I tried BJ's diapers. Apparently they don't meet her standards. uke liked them at first when he saw them because they had stars on them....he started singing tinkle tinkle little star but then he decided he didn't like them once Taylor flipped out. He's' over it.....she's not. lol She even kicked the pack of diapers when she walked by it.

Strained a ligament in my foot. Ridiculous. Sooo thankful it's my left and doesn't keep me from driving. Have a super sexy shoe to wear and Taylor immediately told me "I don't like the shoe Mommy." I don't like it either Miss Thing. She thinks she's the go to girl now...last new pair of shoes I got she said she didn't like and she turns her nose up whenever I wear them. She however likes certain shirts I wear and complements me on those. She also has opinions on my hair. lol She doesn't always like what I put on her....seriously? She's TWO!

Luke got a hair cut without crying AT ALL. :) A little whining and no cape but hey sitting with Daddy without me in sight is working! Taylor had to stand on my knees and watch the whole time. When we told her Luke was gonna get a hair cut she got a very concerned look on her face and said.....Luke cries for haircut. lol They are VERY into the lollipops afterwards. :) Taylor keeps telling Luke his haircut is NICE and she keeps touching it and saying it's soft. :)

{Luke wakes up crying}
Taylor: It's okay honey.
Luke: Stop it Teeya.

{Ali barked at a noise}

Taylor: You're hand goes HERE!

{Walk in their room in the morning}
Luke: Hey you, Stinker! (to me)

Taylor: Daddy is CRAZY!

{Taylor comes running up to me with red crayon out both sides of her mouth and onto her cheeks}
Taylor: Look Mommy, I color my lips like Mommy!

Snippets from today

{Taylor was pushing the fake food off of the table}
{Luke grabs her arm and looks her right in her eyes at close range}
Luke: Tee-ya NO! You're being a little stinker.

{potty time}
(last two days BOTH have been pooping on the potty before nap) yay.
{Taylor pooped...flush....celebratory dancing/jumping/yelling}

Luke: Luke big poopie tooo!!!!

{running around naked, then sitting over and over, he poops but stands up too early while he's still going because he's so excited to see it.....it drops on onto the floor and he steps in it all while Taylor steps on the heat vent right beside him and cuts her foot. It was bleeding...both were screaming. Luke because 1.)he was tramatized that the poop was on the floor and not in the potty and 2.)because he stepped on the residue after I picked it up. (SO THANKFUL the potties got moved to the bathroom) Taylor was upset because of her boo boo. So I put a tissue on it, diaper Luke, clean up the poop, go grab peroxide and a band aid. Come downstairs and Taylor hobbles out of the bathroom and turns around and runs right into the table. Nice little knot beside her eye. More screaming, got her calmed down and cleaned her cut and went to put a band aid on. Taylor flipped out when she saw the band aid. Apparently that is associated with shots and I put it on thinking she'd get over it......NOPE....screamed like a maniac until I took it off. }

Taylor: NO BAN AID!!!!!!
Luke: {pointing to the bottom of his foot} Mommy, band aid foot, boo boo, kiss it.
Taylor: Luke NO! my's boo boo, my's foot! Mommy kiss MY foot!
Luke: Huke has boo boo TOO! See Tee-yah?
Taylor: Luke NO! my's boo boo, my's foot! Mommy kiss MY foot!
