A few weeks ago Dell was a proud daddy and took the girls to the annual Daddy Daughter Dance. Because of their ages he has the 'privilege' of going to 2 dances - about 4 hours in all. I feel a little left out not being able to go and share in their night but it puts the biggest smile on my face to see him take them each and spend time with both of them. They looked so beautiful but way too grown up......
In past years he orders them each a corsage for their wrist. They always are beautiful on and in pictures but the girls (mostly Ashlyn) dances her tail off and comes home with a few sprigs of babies breath left. So, instead of spending the money on flowers that don't last, Dell had a pretty James Avery charm put on their charm bracelets! They loved it!
Aubrey is still the soccer girl. She lives, eats and breaths soccer. She absolutely can not get enough of it. I received a nice phone call today from the assistant principal. Her teacher gave her a positive referral for never having her behavior chart signed and her willingness to participate in class. I have been blessed with two girls that are wonderful role models in class are are perfect angels that I am a tad bit worried about what is to come with Cody!?!?
Of course I could not leave out a update and picture of our little man...... What energy he has. If he is awake he is moving and grooving! He is talking so much more every day. Although the average person would not understand what in the world he is saying. The word he uses the most is 'more please' AKA "Mo, peas". He still uses his signs too, thank goodness because that is the only way I know what he wants sometimes.
Many, many times a day he goes into the pantry and brings out some kind of snack and says "Mo peas". When I tell him "no more snacks" he puts it back (good boy) and brings me something else and says "Dis? (this) Mo, peas". Then I will tell him 'no' and picks out a new snack and says "Dis? Mo, peas". It can go on forever!
Cody absolutely loves dogs! It is almost on the side of obsessed! Anytime he sees anything that 'looks' like a dog (like a bear) he yells 'Dog, Dog, Dog, Dog' until you acknowledge him! It is a good thing that Chloe is a good natured dog as you can see from the above picture. He has NO fear of dogs which makes me very nervous when he gets around other dogs. He thinks they are all like Chloe.
He loves our kitties dearly but the love is not returned. They run as soon as they see him coming. Smart cats!
I will try to keep this updated once a week or so. At the end of each post I wanted to put something that I am thankful for.... I get so caught up in the craziness of life that I forget to take some time to be thankful....Today I am thankful for the smiles on the girls faces when they got out of the car for school. For the most part they leave happy but today was great! Also, for the time I was able to sit on the floor and play with Cody. I love that time that I can bond with him.
