The Kings of Huntsville http://www.geekking.com A man, a woman, a toddler, a baby, and a dog Wed, 21 Jul 2010 15:00:03 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 Stolen Moments http://www.geekking.com/?p=858 http://www.geekking.com/?p=858#comments Wed, 21 Jul 2010 14:40:20 +0000 Jessica http://www.geekking.com/?p=858 It’s so easy to get caught up in the day to day lists of things to do before I can sit down and relax for a few minutes at night. So easy that I often forget that spending time with Phoebe and Sophie while they are awake is really the most important thing I can do. Last night Phoebe asked me to go sit in Daddy’s rocking chair with her (the recliner). I had already sat in the recliner with them for a few moments and was hoping to do the dishes real quick, so I told her no. Then Sophie toddles into the kitchen and starts pulling on my skirt and I realized that taking a longer moment to sit with them was way more important than the dishes at that time. So we all three sat in Daddy’s rocking chair for a little while. After a minute they both wanted down to do their own thing again. I tried to take in the moment as much as possible because I know soon they will not want to sit with me in a rocking chair anymore.

Sophie was totally wearing that dress today that Phoebe is wearing in the header currently. Hm… Maybe after the 4th we can work on that.

Sophie: Mama
Me, while adjusting the mirror so I can see her: Sophie! I see your dimple. Dimple! Dimple!
Sophie: blank stare (who knew they could start this so early?)
Me: Do you think Mama has lost her mind?
Sophie nods.
Phoebe: I do! I think mama lost her mind!

Later, we’re listening to Ziggy Marley’s Family Time. Phoebe sings along. Even sweeter when Sophie tries to sing along too.

“I love you too, I love you too. I tell you I love you. I love you too, I love you too. I love you.”

“I’m gonna cry cry cry. Set the children free.”

I love hearing my kiddos sing along to these songs. And also I think I’m addicted to this CD! It’s a kid’s CD, so I tend to only listen to it when they’re in the car with me. Which is pretty much every morning.

So with that, I’ve had a pretty good morning so far. I hope the same is true for all of you. :)

Phoebe sleeping in her winter hat (that thing is lined with fleece!) and mittens on a HOT Summer (almost anyway) Day. Silly girl! She was conked out too, since she didn’t move at all when I came in and took this picture!

More silliness- She likes to get shoes out of my closet and wear them around the house. Added bonus this day, she also decided to get the hand held broom and clean up. Too funny!

And of course, no post is complete without Sophie too! She was fussing here because she was ready for dinner! But she was smiling at the same time. Couldn’t make her mind up, I guess!
