My latest project

I made some super cute maternity shorts! I had a pair of pants that I planned to cut off because of some enormous holes in the knees. Then I got pregnant and the pants were forgotten, since they no longer fit anyway. But I realized yesterday that they were good candidates for adding a maternity belly, since they fit everywhere except the belly. Some cutting and sewing and a panel of cute fabric later, and they are now maternity shorts. I love having a sewing machine!

Kiddie Quotes

This morning Zaylee came up to me carrying my purse and said, "Mommy, here's your person!"
I had just washed my hair and blown it dry. It was very, um, full of body. Zaylee looked at it and said smilingly, "You're a lion!"
We were headed to the car, and Zaylee was about to run out into the parking lot. I grabbed her dress to stop her. When I let go, she said indignantly, "Hey, what's the big idea?" I didn't even know she knew that phrase!
I was driving with Zaylee in the car yesterday and we were both being quiet. To make some conversation, I asked, "How you doin' Zaylee?" She sighed and said, "Yeah, she is so pretty." I have no idea who she was talking about.
I was putting on the movie Princess Diaries, and I told Zaylee, "This is a movie about a princess." She repeated, "This is a movie. I'm a princess."
I had the vacuum out this morning after using it last night. Zaylee found great entertainment in pulling on the hose and watching it snap back into place. As I unplugged it and started putting it away, she said such things as: "You wanna pull on macuum, Mommy?" "Bye bye, macuum, have a good nap!" and, as I was putting it away in its closet, "I love you, macuum!" while making a kissing noise. How funny!
Zaylee mimics just about everything we say, though often makes mistakes in pronunciation. Today I offered her a cracker, saying, "Here, have a soda cracker." She took it and said, "Yeah, a super cracker!"
Jeff and Zaylee were playing on the floor. Wanting him to get up, she said emphatically, "Daddy, stand BOP!"
This morning Zaylee came into the kitchen where I was making breakfast. She was blowing very energetically in and out through her nose. I asked what she was doing, to which she replied, "I'm glowing!"
