My little thinker

Alivia and I have had many conversations about the moon and sun and she understands that the sun makes it bright outside and when the sun goes away the moon comes out and that's what makes it night time. But, tonight she stumped me

Alivia: The sun is out and the moon is sleeping right mom?
Me: Right
Alivia: And when the sun goes to sleep the moon will wake up right?
Me: Right
Alivia: Does the sun wear pajamas?
Me: Um, No
Alivia: Does the sun have a house?
Me: Um, No
Alivia: Where does the sun sleep?
Me: Ummmmm
Alivia: Does the sun sleep in the clouds?
Me: YES! yes the sun sleeps in the clouds
Alivia: Where are the clouds?
Me: (looking up in the sky and noticing I can't see any clouds) We can't see them right now, they're too far away

She changed the subject after that!!!
I need to work on my reasoning! Or maybe I'll just go buy a book for every subject I can't explain!

You have got to be kidding me

"Roadsters who want their Hot Pockets on the go can now invest in a In-Car Microwave Oven! This mobile meal maker is made of a robust steel construction, boasts an LED screen with touchscreen operation, and can be powered either via your 12 volt cigarette lighter socket or directly by the car battery. The company supplying this modern marvel warns that your vehicle had better already be started before using the direct-from-car-battery method, lest your battery become discharged. Also, going with the 12 volt option means a cup of coffee will take roughly six minutes to heat up. But even slowly nuked food has got to be better than some of those roadside dining options, right? Get yours imported from the U.K. for $167. [Product Page via Cnet]"

Do we not have enough distractions while we're driving?!? Are you in such a hurry that you need to COOK while you're in your car?? This is insane

You can go, I'm gonna stay

Yesterday was Alivia's first dentist visit. I've been talking to her all week about it trying to prepare her. At dinner friday night we were discussing it.

Me: Daddy, Alivia gets to go to the dentist tomorrow and he's going to count her teeth.
Alivia: Mommy, is he going to count your teeth too?
Me: Yep
Alivia: Is he going to count daddy's teeth too?
Me: No, Just me and you and daddy is going to stay home
Alivia: How about you count your teeth by yourself and I can stay home with daddy

Rob and I were cracking up. She did really good at the appointment, better than I thought, she even let them polish them!! She does have a cavity though-ugh. He referred us to someone else to have that done. She brushes her teeth about a hundred times a day but I had noticed a spot on one of her molars about a month ago. So we'll just make sure she is brushing them right from now on.

I had to go to Costco last night to get a few things. I had a list of things to get. When we were ready to check out, I gave my list to Alivia to play with. She said "What does this say?" I told her it was the list of things I needed to get and told her to read it to me. She held it up and looked at it and said "Um, it says we need to get a toy" Isn't she clever!

Sassy Pants

Last night when I got home from work I decided that I was going to make Alivia a playroom in the basement. Her room is huge but there is a TON of stuff in there and even when it's "clean" it's still a mess! So I put two big rugs downstairs and brought her kitchen, her baby nursery and her vanity table down stairs. She LOVED it. She said "can we bring my bed down here?" I then cleaned up her room and shampooed her carpet. It looks so much better and I can't believe all of that stuff was crammed in her room.

When we pulled into the driveway last night Alivia said "Can I play with Emma?" I said "Liv, it's too hot outside and I think they might be out of town." She said "MOM, I JUST WANT TO PLAY WITH EMMA, IT'S NOT A BIG DEAL"

All in good time

Rob and I decided that after amber and bryan's wedding we would begin to try to have another baby. I've known this all year. Now that it's getting closer I'm getting very impatient and VERY excited!! We were talking the other night and I told Amber that I already know what I'm going to name our next baby. If it's a girl it will either be Alexa or Ava and either way the middle name will be Morgan. I told her if we had a boy the name would be Maddox. Amber and Bryan also want to try for another baby after the wedding. She pretty much told me if she had a boy first she was going to steal my boy name!! I hope she was kidding but you never know with her!

So the wedding is getting very close and everyone is trying to wrap up all of the last minute details. There are only 44 days left!!!!
