Mom lays down the law

Now, I thought this would be something I would do years from now when Hadley and an accomplish (sibling, cousin, or friend) were being too rough while playing in another room...NOT with my 4 yr old dtr and 30yr old husband!

Hadley and Jason like to wrestle on the bed..making a huge mess along the way!!

(Hadley crying in another room...meets me in the hallway)

Me: Hadley, what's wrong?

Hadley: Daddy did it..(crys) he hurt my leg..(sobs)he almost pulled it out of the socket (crys and sobs)

(I carry Hadley to the bedroom where Jason is laying on bed)

Jason: I don't know what hurt her, we were playing!

Me: Listen you two, that is it, no more rough play and wrestling on the bed. Someone, mainly Hadley is going to end up really hurt one day. So I am putting my foot down..NO MORE WRESTLING ON THE BED! Do you both hear me??

I felt like me mom must have all those times I was playing with my brother or cousins and one of us always got hurt (mainly me as I was the youngest!)

Daddy Lessons

My dear sweet husband has taken it to himself to teach Hadley a new phrase..and it is something that makes you laugh so hard when she says it on a whim..but I had to set it up in the video to show you the full effect!!



Yes you heard it.."POOP HAPPENS!" A lesson that is needed to be learned by everyone at some point!! Now, I have had to teach Hadley that this is NOT something we say at school..afterall I have already been pulled aside about Hadley being the class clown! And I have to say Hadley does have the ability to make you laugh and loves to do it..even at Disney when we were watching the Monster Inc Comedy Show she turned to me and said, "Mommy, I like to be funny at school." My response, "Yes dear, I've been told that!!"

Back from Disney

We are sadly back from Disney World..I have started to add some blogs, pics, and videos on the Disney Vacation Blog..so check it out!!! I will post more as the week goes on..
We so wish we were still there!!

We're Off!!

We are heading to Disney World bright and early tomorrow!!
I'll be sure to share all when we head back!

Out of the mouths of babes

Hadley has been talking a lot lately about her friends in Pre-school that have now gone to Kindergarten. One day she came home and we had a very enlightening conversation:

Hadley: Lexi isn't at school anymore she went to Kindergarten. I'll go to Kindergarten in one week.

Me: No, Hadley you'll go to Kindergarten in One Year. And Mommy will be so sad.

Hadley: Don't worry Mommy, I'll come back home.

Boy will things change!

At Ballet yesterday I had a chance to catch up with all the moms I chat with while our kids are in class..stories of what have you done this summer, what classes are all the kids in this fall, what pre-schools..etc. One thing I realized is how plans will change once Hadley is in school. Most of the kids in Hadley's class have older brothers and sisters..so when it came to what vacations did everyone take this summer..well, everyone piled their trips into the last 2-3 months..us..well..we have waited until fall. We have the OH SO anticipated Disney Trip in 8DAYS and a trip planned to see Jason's parents in North Carolina in November. Now we can do this as Hadley is in preschool and missing a few days or a week isn't too big a deal. But I realized this weekend (which my mom has been saying to me) once Hadley is in school next year (YIKES..next year!) all our Fall/Spring vacations will come to a halt and we will schedule all around the school year!!

You Just Gotta Love Her!

Showing her pose at the beach walk!



Those beautiful eyes!

Gymnastics

We started Gymnastics on Sunday. Wow..did Hadley have a blast!! She went non-stop for an hour and came out grinning from ear to ear and very sweaty! It was great because the gym is surrounded by glass so we were able to watch the entire time. It is an amazing gym...



Hadley did front head rolls, an obstacle course, trampoline, balance beam, and hanging on the bottom of the uneven bars and falling into a pit of foam!!
I think we found something she really likes!! I can't wait to see her do more!!

Here is my little gymnist in her outfit!!

A Day with Daddy!

One of the things I love about my husband is how he can become an instant playmate for Hadley..now there are of course times when I think the parent should be there more than the playmate..but none the less I love that he can let himself go and be a big kid! So here is what a play date with daddy looks like:


Mismatched outfit: what you can't see is her black patent leather christmas dress shoes with white gym socks (now I will admit since she is starting to take an intereast in getting herself dressed in the mornings, I too let her wear mismatched at times)


Goofing off..Daddy generally likes to be a goof with her!



Eating lots of snacks..even though it is right before lunch!



Allowing Hadley to run (almost) naked in the water at the beach!!

Daddy..don't we just love him!!
