So big

Kids really do grow up too fast. Kasey is almost sleeping through the night. The last two nights we have gotten 7 hour stretches! Whoohoo! She has also become a really good afternoon nap taker! Which is wonderful for me too! It's also during Courtney's nap time and I can sneak in a nap too if I need it. In fact today she is sleeping longer than her sister did! I can also use their nap time to clean and organize, or write a blog post!

Kasey is smiling and cooing and laughing up a storm these days. And her favorite place to be is on her back on the floor just looking around, taking in the sights and sounds. It's so cute!

Courtney was finally approved and starts therapy next week! If you have been a long time reader of my blog you know how much of a struggle it has been with her swallow. I can not WAIT for her to start therapy. In 3-6 months they will test her swallow again. I pray there is some benefit from therapy and we see it on the next test.

I think I have mentioned how hooked on Cinderella Courtney is before also. Well, she loves to mimic Cinderella. Right now there are two things she is big into doing. She washes the bathroom floor with a washcloth. Now, I didn't start this or suggest it. She went into her bathroom, moved a rug, grabbed a washcloth and started doing this all on her own. When I asked her what she was doing, she told me she was washing the floor just like Cinderella. Hmm, I wonder if I can use this to my advantage and have her wash the kitchen floor? Just kidding. But it's so cute!

The other thing she does is comb her hair and sing "a dream is a wish your heart makes". Sounds cute, right? It is, except, she only combs the right side because that is the side Cinderella combs in the movie. And that line is the only line she knows so she sings it over and over and over. To the point that it starts to drive me insane. And we joke that we need to find a movie where a princess combs her hair on the left side so that we can get her to comb the other side of her head. My mom likes to remind me that when I was this age my favorite song was "You light up my life" and that was the only line I knew, to the point that I drove her crazy. And just so you know, I still love that song to this day!

One of the reasons I do not have Courtney in daycare on Friday's is because my friend Kelly also stays home with her girls that day. We finally took advantage of this by going to the zoo today! Every time we go to the zoo something different happens. Today the most notable was the 3 deer IN the zoo right outside the gorilla house.

I have got to get a bigger vehicle. I can not fit the double stroller in my trunk, and there are some other fitting issues with car seats and stuff as well. It's just hard to bite off a bigger car payment with me not working. Who knows, maybe I will be lucky and win lots of money to buy a new vehicle. Now I just need to play the lottery!

Well, I better go and get Kasey up and get ready to start dinner!
