love fall

i just love fall! days like today are just so lovely, they make me smile. i wish you could just bottle it up and save it for a rainy winter day. yesterday i even planted mums for the porch...lets see how long it take before they die! i do not have a green thumb, but i am still hopeful.

guess what??? mya has been napping during the day...longer than 30 min at a time. i had to make a parental judgment call....we started cereal and i am still waking her up at 5:30 am. it seems to be working. she actually took a two hour nap this morning....it was so great and what was better was than she woke up so happy. hopefully this will be an ongoing thing. not that i would complain about anything she does...she is just too great ;-)

on a funny note, lainey today, had gone to the bathroom...so i go in to do my motherly duty and wipe her little fanny. as i was proceeding to do this i say, "lainey, you really need to wipe your own butt!" she responds with, "mom, i'll wipe myself when i am in high school." wow, really!! do i really have to do that for that long??? too funny. high school??? i wonder what made her think of that. she is just too much.

i know this was a hodge podge post, but i wanted to tell lainey's story before i forget it!!!
