Reasons Why I can Never Take Adeline into Bath and Body Works

In addition to traditional toddler toys, like baby dolls, books, noise makers...Adeline looooves candles and any bottle that looks like lotion.  When she has a candle or lotion bottle she wants everyone to enjoy in its scent as well!  She frequently asks to investigate or hold any of my lotion bottles and likes to carry them around.  So yeah...Bath and Body Works... I'm sure it would be a very silly scene!

A Sunday School Stinky

I love teaching Sunday School.  This opportunity allows me to be a teacher once a week for a little bit with my favorite age group, fourth graders.  I miss teaching dearly and this is a perfect outlet for me!  Some Sunday's I have to bring Adeline with b/c Joe is on call.  It is fun when she is with, the kids love having her around, but you never know what  two year old may do!  This Sunday everything was going well...Adeline was intently watching the kids do their activities and listened while we read the Bible story of Jesus getting Baptized when all of  a sudden I smelled something....
When Adeline farts it smells like she has poopies, so I was hoping that was I sniffed b/c when she does have poopies she likes to share it very loudly and I knew that would get the kids going...understandably! Well...one second it was quiet and the next my 2 year old proudly  states "I have poopies." Of coarse the kids started laughing and Adeline knew she had their attention, she promptly begins to run around the kids in a circle giggling over and over " I have poopies--peeeuuuu."  At least our lesson for the day was about being Baptized to get clean!

Night Night Time

Adeline actually does not fight us too much to go to sleep.  She enjoys the nights she gets a 'tubbie' but hates having her hair washed because the water can get in her eyes-mommy has always hated that too.  Adeline calls her little toes 'pinks.'  I think because we have painted them pink a few times, which really entertains her, and so she says 'night night' pinks when she slips them into her footie pajamas, sometimes mommy and daddy even have to kiss them goodnight.  We read her a bedtime story every night and she usually wants us to read her 'Mommy has a Tattoo,' the book has been loved so much that it is already worn.  Adeline has two glow worm dolls she has to sleep with, but does not play with them otherwise and they are her 'night night buddies.'

Welcome to Our Wonderland II

Last night we gave Adeline peas for dinner and instead of eating them she proceeded to bounce them off her highchair tray and off the spout of her sippy cup.  These are the memories I never want to forget even when we are, God willing, grey and wrinkley! I want to remember her favorites as they change through the years and all the precious moments.
