An elevator story

I have started teaching spanish at the Old Salem Montessori preschool. Reese and Presley get to come and participate, too. It ws a crazy day and somehow Presley got mixed in the shuffle with the kids going down to the carpool line and Reese ran into the doorjam and was crying...I forgot to turn off the lights in the classroom, and when I got into the lobby area a teacher asked if the little blond girl was mine. I quickly scan the area and do not see Presley anywhere. I begin to panic then I hear the screaming, "Mom-eeeeeee"!!!!!!!!!! Presley had gotten in the elevator and was on her way down by herself as I struggled to run down the stairs carrying Reese and all my stuff before presley got there. Luckily a nice lady got her out. She was crying so hard...when I finally calmed her down, she said, "mommy...I ride da' elevat-oh by se-elf. I Like it!" It was funny.

I love how Presley has to totally "spread 'em". She loves going peepee and poopoo on the potty. I am certain she will be so embarassed by this post someday, but I think it is too cute!

Look at that sassy little face. Presley's new fave phrase is "what the heck!"

Reese showin' the love. She is such a smoocher. She is always trying to hug and kiss everyone. Sweet Reese!

"could the paparazzi PLEASE put down the cameras?"

More cuteness!

Reese and Presley are going to be witches for Halloween. Whenever we watch "Enchanted" Reese always tells me "Pwesley scared of the witch". However, it is Reese who always turns and faces the back of the couch when the witch comes on. Presley has a book with a witch in it, and she always brings it to me and asks, "Mommy, whe-yer da' witch?" (She totally has a southern accent sometimes). Got the hats at the Dollar Spot @ Target.

If you haven't heard about the "Skinny Girl" recipes, you are missing out on a completely healthy (as healthy as chocolate muffins can be) recipe. Here are the girls helping me make "Chocolate Salad", as Reese calls it.

Get a load of that smile. Also, a funny thing Presley did...(2, actually)...we bought Reese new panties...so Presley wears them, too. ALL at the same time. I changed her diaper one day and she had 8 pairs of panties over them. She loves them and she can't decide which one she wants to wear, so I guess she decides all of them. She is also almost potty trained. Good with number 1 and number 2 is going well so far. The other night, she pooped in the potty. She makes us hold up her shirt in the front so she can see it come out, then she likes to talk to it before she flushes it. As she was flushing, she says, "Bye-bye banana". ( I cracked up, because it actually did look like one...a nice curvy one.) Anyhow...That's our little Presley. Silly Willy.

Presley is obsessed with baby dolls and babies...baby ANYTHING! I have to cut up all her food in "baby bites". She is such a funny little momma.

And Reese LOVES her animals!

This is their hang out spot when we are on the computer. They like to sit there and color.A few weeks ago, Reese had a really high fever for about a week. She was unconsolable. One day, after she got up from her nap, she refused to be held ...wouldn't eat or drink...she went behind the couch to pout...this is how I found her a few minutes later.

Reese loves to hold Presley...but it is a rare occurrence when Presley wants to be held by Reese.

Oh, that Presley says the darndest things!

We were having dinner outside the other day and Presley started singing "Head, shoulders, knees, and toes". I decided to use it as a teacing opportunity and began pointing to different parts of the body, asking, "What's that?" They were answeringeverything correctly. Then I got to my face...when I pointed to my eyebrow and asked,"What's that?" Presley's face lit up with a huge smile and said, "CATERPILLAR"! Classic.

rubber snakes?

Ever since Reese gave up the paci, naptime is a challenge. I try to encourage "quiet time" which usually leads to her falling asleep on the couch. Her she is being awoken by her Presley.

The first thing Presley says when she wakes up is "Wheres Weese?"

Lovin' the sunglasses!

Friday afternoon I was picking up toys in the kitchen when I reached down to grab a rubber snake that was on the floor. Only when I was about to grab it did I realize that WE DON'T HAVE A RUBBER SNAKE!!!!! The little booger slithered under the fridge and I sat on the kitchen table waiting until Brian got home to wrangle it. It took Brian 2 hrs to lure him out. I wasn't sure what kind of snake it was...and it freaked me out a little. Sorry momma for the time when I was 17 and I put a garden snake in a box on the kitchen floor to scare you. I guess what goes around DOES eventually come around! Here are some cute pics of the girls. We are so bummed the pool has officially closed. But they sure look cute in their sunglasses!

Presley Bleu-Yellow

The girls had their 2 yr an 3 yr check up the other day. They are doing great. Both very healthy and on track. While there, Reese heard me say I was checking in Reese and Presley "wilkinson". She repeated our last name andit dawned on me that I have never told them their last name. Later we were practicing saying their full names. I said, "Presley Bleu Wilkinson"...to which she responded, "Pweseey Boo- Yellow!". It was cute.
