"Way Down in Bethlehem"

We are in Bethlehem PA for Christmas with Brian's family and Ellie has been so excited to go to Bethlehem to see baby Jesus. She sang a song this year in her school's Christmas program that had Bethlehem in it a lot of times and she understood it's meaning. Anyway, tonight she came up to me and said, "mommy I figured out why we can't find baby Jesus, he's way down in Bethlehem so we have to look way down." The verses she sang in her song all ended with "way down in Bethlehem." We will have to look for this "way down" this week and find that baby Jesus before we leave or Ellie may never be happy again!

Belaxin and Girl Cheese

I am starting this blog only for myself so that I can try and "remember" the funny and great things my kids tell me.

Tonight the girls and I were eating at Panera and they were having grilled cheese sandwiches. She told me that only girls could eat "girl cheese" sandwiches. :)

We've been talking about her relaxing this week as I've been trying to get her to settle herself and get calm before our bedtime routine. She's been fighting it of course and keeps telling me that she doesn't know how to "belax"!!

Maggie in her sweet little voice has all of the sudden found her "yeah" to answer me instead of her usual "NO!" It's nice to hear this and she can now communicate her true feelings much better now. Now we just need her to stop pooping in the freshly run bathtub!! Ewwwwww.
