Laineyisms...

• in regards to her tan socks - "these socks are white and brown all mixed up together."
• when trying to bring her "jessie hat" to school - "sigh... dad I tried reasoning with them, but they just won't let me bring my hat to school."
• every.single.day for the past 3 weeks, "mom, is it one more night until Toy Story 3"
• "Mommy, I am so tired from freaking out."
• "Gigi, I was just freaking out and freaking out."
• When being awaken by Aunt M - "let's just sit here and talk."
• "mom, I don't want to grow up to be an old lady, so I am not going to eat any vegetables." 

Time.

For those who think I have abandoned blogging, I have not. Things have been incredibly busy and stressful these past 8 months or so. There has been too much to try and catch up, but suffice to say everyone is growing up. My kids are great; passionate and bold, loving and sweet. Eliot is becoming a little boy and Laine, well she is definitely becoming a big girl. Time really does pass so quickly; my baby will be 2 in just a few weeks, unbelievable... seriously. He is so funny, he loves to drum and dance. He still isn't saying much, but is certainly making sure he gets the point across.  Laine is so mature this days, there aren't nearly as many tantrums and she is so helpful. I never thought the day would come that she would be less inclined to scream and cry, but to reason and negotiate. Honestly, it gives me some hope that E too will one day not throw himself on the floor crying, in a fit. Not much by way of advice just a little note, I will think of something profound to say and get back to you :)
