I absolutely love the colors in this kit! They are so fresh and vibrant! And they do make me think of taking a deep cleansing breath. It makes me want to go take a long walk on the beach... which I would do today if it weren't freezing cold and cloudy! :)

I just love this photo! I need to make copies and send it to family. What better way than through a Valentine's card? This is one of my possible cards! Of course, Hannah still wants her Dora valentines, too! :)

Lyrics from Phil Vasser's "The Woman in My Life"
Now she's two years old
And she's my biggest fan
And I'm wrapped 'round the fingers
Of her little hand
And she believes in me
When I just give up
She takes all my worries
And she gives me love
Yeah, I rock her to sleep
With a sweet lullaby
I thank God for this woman in my life
Oh, I thank God for this woman in my life



I heard this song on the radio this morning for the first time and knew that I had to use the last verse for a scrapbook page of Thomas & Hannah. Hannah is turning into such a Daddy's Girl lately. She cries every time we go visit Thomas at work or drop him off at his car in the morning.

My mean toddler!


Oh my goodness! My daughter is so mean! I babysat a friend's daughter for an hour or two today and Hannah was so MEAN! Okay, Hannah cries for this little girl to come over and play. She asks about her almost every single day! The little girl comes over for the first time in a month and Hannah won't even play with her! Hannah was clingy and wouldn't even get off my lap until lunch time. Then she ate lunch at the table and proceeded to tattle on poor little Chloe the entire time! "Chloe dropped her cheese." "Chloe is making a mess, Mom." YIKES! I hope this phase goes away before our little Paprika is born and moving around. I couldn't take Hannah's whiny attitude anymore, so after lunch we went downstairs to blow bubbles and play. Chloe wasn't really interested in the bubbles, so I pulled out the ride-on toys. Hannah kept trying to run over poor little Chloe. I was about to call it a day, when Chloe's mom showed up, so we could double-cover the kids. I had to drag Hannah up the stairs when it was time to come home. Then we had to run a few errands... I HATE running errands with Hannah! So, we get home and the phone rings. I answer it and am talking to a friend from church, trying to make sure that we have enough teachers for the children's Primary. Hannah wet through her diaper (in a ONE HOUR time period), so I was trying to change Hannah's diaper at the same time. She wanted to sit on the potty and pee. I put her up there and she sat there for 20 minutes, playing. I finally got her down and tried to put a clean diaper on her. She got mad and KICKED ME IN THE FACE, with her shoes on! My lip didn't bleed, but I am pretty surprised it didn't. I do not know what to do with this angry little child. Time out is NOT working. Positive re-enforcement is NOT working. Today has been a very long day... hopefully tomorrow will be better... But we did have a good snuggle for about an hour this evening. I love my little girl and I wish I could reach her. I think she is just a typical two-year old who doesn't know how to handle her anger and frustration, but how do I keep her from acting out? When she gets angry, she tries to punch my belly... not good when you're pregnant. I have a couple of friends who are therapists, so I am going to talk to one of them at church on Sunday. We'll see what she has to say. :)
