The things she says...

Today I pulled Aspens hair up into a ponytail and she looked at me with wide eyes and said "I already cute" then she said "Need to look in the mirror" WOW! Where did that come from? Ha. Your guess is as good as mine. I rarely take any time in the day to look in the mirror, so I'm pretty sure she didn't learn it from me, but Ashton and I started laughing. She is a ham. She is doing great with her potty training. Still has some accidents, but I think it's mostly due to how sick she's been this week. She has acute influenza and the Dr put her on Steroids for 3 days because she was acting kinda weird. She kept zoning out on us. He said it happens to some kids when they get fevers. Weird. Anyway, she's slowly getting back to herself, but I feel like I am starting to get it...my throat is dry and scratch today. Such is life. If one gets it in the family, seems we all do.

We have Nikki and Zac (My niece and nephew) living here with us for the summer, and Aspen is LOVING it. She cries when they leave without her and the first thing she wants when she wakes in the morning is them. I'm worried about what she'll act like when they leave back home after the summer. She LOVES having playmates around. And as much as I've tried to get her a "Playmate" here this year, it's just not happening...guess we'll wait it out. In the meantime, I'm going to have to start having more playdates for her. She LOVES someone to play with that's her own age. It's fun and sad to watch her grow up so fast. She changes all the time. And I KNOW she's too old when she comes to lay in mine and Ashton's bed and says to me "Get out of my place, move to your own mom."...yep...that one started this week. She thinks that my side of the bed is hers now, and I belong at the foot of the bed...like a dog...hope it's not a bad omen for how she'll treat me when she's older...heaven help me.

She likes to play with her little buddy Hayden in the swimming pool. She is LOVING summer...when the weather is warm at least. She can sit out there for hours. We had Hayden over a few weeks ago, and she kept trying to kiss the poor boy. As cute as we thought it was, he DIDN'T. He kept trying to get away from her, and she just kept following. Guess it's time to give her the "We don't kiss boys" lesson...didn't know we'd need it so soon! ha ha. I'm looking forward to a fun summer. Hope it's relaxing more than anything.
