Josie's Gymnastics Party

This year we had a gymnastics birthday party at the YMCA. A few of Josie's friends came and we played in the gym. She listened to some songs, doing all of the motions, played on the bars,

and opened some presents. I got her this Dora shirt and just knew she would want to wear it once she opened it. I was right! The second she saw it she started pulling off the shirt she was wearing.

Now she is happy. She wouldn't even put her jacket on when we left the party, and it was COLD!

When I took the cake out of the box she promptly found a chair, a fork and dug right in. It was way too cute to try and stop her.

I thought she might be to young to have a party, but she got it and she had so much fun. Even hugging each person who gave her a gift as she opened her presents. The day after her party she said, I want my birthday again! It was fun for me to watch her have so much fun!

Today Josie is 2! I can't be with her today but I did make her some pink cupcakes (she calls them puckcakes) to take to the babysitters house, and even made enough for my homeroom class!

Josie is amazing and I can't imagine life without her!

Too Spicy

A few days ago I was getting gas and rolled the window down to talk to Jos while I did. she saw a picture of a hot dog with mustard on it and said, "mommy I no like it, too spicy". I thought it was funny, how did she know?

Then at the pool yesterday she looked up at the lifeguard stand and said, "mommy to tall, I no like it, too spicy".

Haha she now says everything scary is spicy. Jeff and I have totally bought into it and everything we don't particularly like is "spicy". It will be our little joke for a long time I think!

Josie said....

It's taco time, as we pulled into Taco Bell for lunch.

I sing Bible Tell Me So, it's what she calls Jesus Loves Me.

As Jeff and I lay next to her at night singing her three favorite songs, Bible Tell Me So, Jingle Bells, and ABCDEFG, she says thank you thank you after each one is over.

Tonight I laid her in bed and she said, go away mommy, I tired.

Green Eggs and Ham

March 2nd is Dr. Susses birthday. This year celebrated in the 7th grade by.....eating green eggs and ham for lunch (i didn't eat them, but i heard from many students that they were nasty=)

and making/wearing matching thing tee shirts.

This my 7th grade team. Left to right: history, math, science, spanish, and english! We have a lot of fun together, I love the people I get to work with!

few things i want to remember

1. Josie sang Jesus Loves Me all the way through by her self Saturday morning while I was changeing her diaper at almost 2 years old!

2. She was supposed to be resting on couch and watching Dora. She got off and Jeff told her sternly, "Josie get back on the couch for rest time". She started to cry, and I asked her why was crying. She said, " I mad at daddy, he say get on the couch!" We both had a good laugh at that one.

3. We have frequent family hugs, where we all hug in a three way fashion. This weekend Josie has started requesting them.

Don't Know.......

I feel like I am stuck. I still haven't really been sad about my latest miscarriage, not really, not like the previous two. It will really be a disaster, I'm afraid. I keep telling myself I shouldn't be sad, I have a child. It isn't a big deal, not compared to what other people have gone through. I don't deserve to be sad. If I take time to be I will miss out on time with Josie. It's almost like this is worse, stuck in something I can't get out of. It doesn't help that I am STILL have medical issues due to it as well. I don't know what to do or how to feel.
