Cousins Sleepover

How excited were we that Genevieve was coming for a sleepover?!?!? Eeeeeek!



Our niece, Matt's sister's baby, is so cute. That isn't even the word. Darling. Precious.  Think of the most saccharine adjective and apply it here. Her little voice. Her walk that is still a little unbalanced, and a half run. The names she uses for things because she can't yet fully enunciate. Her affection for naps and bedtime! Her parents think we did them a favor, but I am telling y'all, they did us a favor! The girls had fun playing with their little cousin. Savvy got to be a big sister, Cass got to practice empathy with someone not Savvy :-)

Maybe it was the novelty of having her over, but there were no tantrums. For anyone! We played outside, we played with Shorty, we went to a children's festival and did arts and crafts, we read books, we watched movies, we ate and ate and ate. 

We are looking forward to the next time we can do a favor for Emily and Chris ;-)

After you clean your room...

This evening Cassidy revealed to me a small secret to keeping her occupied. After dinner she asked me if she could watch a show. We don't have tv, but we do have netflix through the wii on our tv and we watch all the greatness that PBS and Nickelodian have to offer! Except for Caillou because I think he's kind of whiny. Anyway, she gets to watch limited amounts of Diego, Dora, Dinosaur Train, Super Why, Word World, etc and sometimes we throw in some Cosby Show for good measure. She'll pick two shows and watch one, 20 minute episode of each and then we call it good. Well tonight when she asked for a show, I told her she could watch one episode of her favorite after she cleaned her room. She went into her room and as she started putting toys away, she started playing with them. She'd go to put books away and start "reading" them. Twenty minutes later she'd start putting crayons away, then start drawing with them. Ten minutes later she'd start putting awa...

The Weekends

The weekends have a new meaning to me now.  Saturdays are the perfect day because I get unlimited access to Cassidy. During the week I have to share my time between work, chores, tasks, and more. Sunday we have church and prep time for the week. But Saturday is magical. Saturday is for adventures in the park and incredible views in the mountains you can only reach by foot. Saturdays are for sleeping in or getting up early and making a big breakfast. Saturdays we sometimes stay in our pajamas, and others times we get all dressed up for no reason. On this particular Saturday Cassidy and I met up with some friends at church for the first End of Summer Fair. We had a good time...

Dancing

Cassidy loves to dance. So far, any type of music gets her going! In this video we were cleaning the kitchen when she decided to break out. When she saw the camera she started saying cheese because she thought it was a real camera. I hope you can see it!
