Audrey's Zingers

Just a few things I wanted to get written down before I forget them.  Audrey has made me laugh more than a few times lately!  She always says what is on her mind!

We needed to go to Menard's this week. Prior to our departure Jordan went around and around with her about her footwear.  She wanted flip flops; he wanted her Nike sandals.  Jordan won.  He was getting her out of her car seat and said, "Come here, Pretty."  She pouted, "I am not pretty; I am wearing Nikes!"  She is so dramatic!

This morning Audrey greeted me as I was getting out of the shower.  I went to my closet to get dressed and she asked, "Mommy, can you please wear something pretty today?"  Apparently she does not like my current maternity attire of mesh shorts and t-shirts!

I have found that one way to get things done on a day when naps seem to be running short is to offer an ultimatum: Clean the toy room or go back to bed.  Audrey opted to clean with me and was surprisingly helpful and cheerful!  I told her that after cleaning we would have and Izze with our snack because so her great attitude.  She was thrilled.  We gulped her drink and then stopped "Mom!  This pop makes my eyes all wet.  I need a towel!" 

It maybe time to get Audrey some bigger underwear.  She stood up today, got a wedgie and exclaimed "What is the deal with my undies?"

Oh happy Day!

I am cautiously announcing a dairy victory!  (Cautiously, because I have declared victory before only to have to have to recant my declaration!)  I have been cooking with low reacting dairy products and have not noticed any effects on Reuben or Elise!  :)  I have been letting them have one meal with baked in dairy each day.  (We have skipped a day or two because so many of the recipes in my rotation are d-free now that I had to make an effort to put it in!)  I have been able to use butter, buttermilk and in a few recipes I used half dairy milk half non dairy.  Why is this so exciting?  First, we went to a picnic the other day and I didn't read labels.  I didn't have to be "that mom."  Second, I will be able to save some money!  D-free chocolate chips can be expensive, and real food butter substitutes are expensive.  Third, I don't have to experiment with nasty d-free cookie recipes any more!  If it never gets better ...

Signs of the times

Jonah was sitting at the table yesterday and said "Mom, I was thinkin' 'bout somethin'.  I want a girlfriend." "What?" "I want a girlfriend? "How about I just be your girlfriend?" "No, I want a little one." "Where did you hear about girlfriends" "Gramma let me borrow her DVD when I had my tonsils out and that boy had a little girlfriend.  I want one." I cannot think of what he watched or what might have reminded him about this concept. Audrey was running ahead on our walk yesterday "Look mom!  I can run fast and I don't even have things in my ears!"  I assume this means earbuds that would connect to her ipod!
