<br />
But I can't complaint how beautiful Florida is.<br />
<br />
We had so much fun this year, we got together with Eliott and his kids and Will and his kids.<br />
<br />
We ate pernil with Sherri's amazing aroz con gandules and tostones. Eliott made my cheesecake recipe and I think it may have been better than mine :) Tiana made pumpkin pie and Sherri also made brownies. I brought pumpkin bread and all was very yummy!<br />
<br />
We started this tradition when we were in Illinois before you girls came along and we decided to keep going at it this year. We told scary stories and played games "gestures" and went trick or treating ate a lots of candy!<br />
<br />
This year Emma was Sofia the First and Seylah was Hello Kitty (yeah same as your birthday) And Andrea was bambi!<br />
<br />
I did your make up, Andreas', Jay's and mine :)<br />

<br />
This year we celebrated your birthday with two different characters, for you Emma you wanted Sofia the First and Seylah, Hello Kitty.<br />
<br />
As always I wait for the last minute to make your decorations. This year I said I wasn't going to do it big, something small but not as much as I did in the past.<br />
<br />
I have the best family ever because they helped me out so much...al I really had to handle was the decorations and making your cake.<br />
<br />
Now the cakes were fun, I liked the way Seylah's turned out better.<br />
<br />
Whats more important is that we all had a great time and you both enjoyed every minute of it!<br />
<br />
You both got lost of gifts (clothes and the cutest boots in the world) that I totally want for myself :)<br />
<br />
N-e ways I can't believe Emma your 5 and Seylah your 4! <br />
When I look at both of you, pictures in my head of when you girls were babies and I miss those days. Regardless I know I gotta take advantage of these special times as well.<br />
<br />
Seylah the day after you turned four we dropped Emma off at school and you said to me "now can I go with Emma, I'm like this...(giving me your four finger)" It was so cute, but I had to tell you the bad news.<br />
<br />
You are talking so much now, still you say some cute words here and there, you are getting so big too fast for my liking!<br />
<br />
You get so angry sometimes because you want to do things on your own that you still can't handle and some things you can....maybe is just me that doesn't want to let go. <br />
<br />
Emma you are the true definition of 5 going on 20! You are such a mommy with Seylah even though Seylah doesn't like it sometimes.<br />
<br />
I can see both of your personality developing and is just a beautiful thing that I'm here to see it all unfold!<br />

<br />
Yesterday was a crazy stressful day, to say the least!<br />
<br />
How it started was a whole different story.<br />
<br />
Emma said "is today Seylah"s birthday?" as I dress you up because you manage to pee on yourself in the middle of the night.<br />
<br />
Regardless of that fact I sang the b-day song and all you did was smile and chuckle.<br />
<br />
It was the cutest thing! <br />
<br />
Come to think about it, at the end of the day the stress was all do to the your cake!<br />
<br />
I wanted to make your birthday cake special and the way you wanted it.<br />
<br />
Hello Kitty style!<br />
<br />
You know this picture below......this is how I felt my cake turned out! When you are in a rush and there is no time to get fancy......you end up with something like that!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Well that is how your cake turned out!<br />
<br />
I was thinking about putting the picture.....but got discouraged...LOL<br />
<br />
Anyways yesterday after your school work you wanted me to do your nails and so I did and guess what they were?<br />
<br />
Hello Kitty of course!<br />
<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Regardless of the fact that your birthday was a heck-tic day and it did not turned out how I planned.....<br />
<br />
The cake did not look good, and we didn't join our friends to sing to you. <br />
<br />
However, I realized it was perfect just the way it was!<br />
<br />
Just us four.<br />
<br />
And what made it even better was your grateful heart. You said "I love my cake mami" like 3 times!<br />
<br />
If that's not priceless, then I don't know what is!!!<br />
<br />
Happy Birthday my little princess! <br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Like I promised I told you I will start God's little explorer with you this week and here we are!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The night before I hid some little treasures.....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
the bible, your crayons, markers and glue. And with little wood sticks that I taped together with clear tape placed them where you can find your treasure.....(X marks the spot)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We made binoculars with two empty toilet paper roll and we were off on a hunt to find your treasures!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
You were so excited and having fun that in the midst of searching you reached out to me and said "I love you mami"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Oh how that brought a smile to my inner soul!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And so we continued to search until we had all the treasures. You learned a new bible verse with the ABC bible verse. X "May I never boast eXcept in the cross of our Lord Christ Jesus." Galatians 6:14</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And so here we embark on our 27 week journey of exploring God's word and wonders!</div>

</div>
<h2>
How nerve wrecking is this!</h2>
I know I am all late for your school pictures.....but better late then never!<br />
<br />
The day came and I was so busy that I even forgot how emotional this could be for me.<br />
<br />
Emma you were so excited about your first day! I was both excited and sad at the same time. We all went together to drop you off.<br />
<br />
It was a very emotional day not only for our little family but for all the parents who's kids where there for the first time.<br />
<br />
We all gathered in the lobby with one screaming crying little girl! When I saw Erika our neighbor's eyes build up with tears she reminded me that I was going to leave you today for the 1st time.<br />
<br />
I felt it!<br />
<br />
That little ball that hurts in your throat when you wanna fight the tears.<br />
<br />
We kissed you goodbye....you like nothing said "bye mami" as we walked away!<br />
<br />
On our way to the car Seylah began to cry out your name and my eyes welled up with tears..... we sat in the car and I could not hold them back any longer. <br />
<br />
The day went by quickly...however I was very sad at home and it felt quiet and empty, although not hearing Seylah crying or fighting or screaming was welcoming!<br />
<br />
And before you know it, it was time to get you!<br />
<br />
You were all smiles! All you kept saying was "I had so much fun"<br />
<br />
As for Seylah this is definitely an adjustment for you. First and 2nd day we walked away with you crying her name and today it was just an "I want Emma" and "I want to go to school like Emma."<br />
But that quickly faded when Emma was back home. <br />
<br />
I know I should have been ready for you Seylah, however next week I will start "<a href="http://www.motherhoodonadime.com/gods-little-explorers-preschool-curriculum" target="_blank">God's little explorer</a>s" with you. We'll take pictures of you then.<br />
<br />
Here are your 1st day of School pics Emma!<br />

<br />
And today was that day!<br />
<br />
Although I kinda didn't want to just yet because Seylah.....let's face it you are clumsy....however I couldn't resist my Emma's plead!<br />
<br />
So I pulled it out of the closet and we played.<br />
<br />
I told you girls you needed to dress up.....and Emma of course you went and got a skirt from your dress up box and your fedora hat. You even added the necklace you made at the neighborhood summer club.<br />
<br />
Fancy that!<br />
<br />
Seylah, well you just put on your fedora hat and a sweater....and that was the extent of dressing for you. <br />
<br />
And we had some real tea!<br />
<br />
I made vanilla chamomile tea and a while back I made some heart shape sugar cubes and I just thought this was perfect for the occasion. Cut up some cheese then later an apple and there you go.<br />
<br />
Your very own first glass wear tea party!<br />
<br />
You girls enjoyed it so much that Emma you asked me to do it again tomorrow but this time with papi.<br />
<br />
And so we shall!<br />
<br />
I enjoyed your tea talk and attempting to put your pinkie up!<br />

<br />
As I sign paper after paper for your VPK class I sit and ask myself (Am I really gonna do this?) (Should I let her go?)<br />
<br />
Of course I know I'm not the only parent out there who has asked these questions!<br />
<br />
But I know I have to let you grow and become a bit independent! But let's face it Emma your only 4 going on 5 in three months.<br />
<br />
I
never thought about this moment.....scratch that I have but I thought
about it in the distant future......and is here.....is NOW!!!!!<br />
<br />
Is
3 hours a day for a week and is only for a year (because I did decide
to homeschool you and Seylah after this) Regardless that fact I am still
a nervous wreck!<br />
<br />
I know Seylah and I will adjust
perhaps me more quickly then her. But I believe that Seylah needs this
time away from you and more attention on her. And I also believe that
you need time to experience time without us.<br />
<br />
So I pray.....and that's all I can do now.....is pray!<br />
<br />
I know that God will give me the strenght and peace that I need to let you go.<br />
<br />
And
as I get ready this week with making your short and skirt because
apparently there are no stores that carries a 4T black skirt or short
right now.<br />
<br />
Don't judge me this is new to me okay!<br />
<br />
I know it was a bit late but to my defense I didn't know until last week that I needed all these things.<br />
<br />
Anyways I can't wait to take pictures of your first day of VPK! I may even do a little photo shoot!:D<br />
<br />
I found this prayer on <a href="http://www.priorityministries.com/christian-womens-blog/5-prayers-to-pray-over-your-kids-before-school/" target="_blank">pinterent</a>, she actually has a 5 day prayer and I just want to add a bit to it.<br />
<br />
Heavenly Father,<br />
Thank you, Lord, that you are near to all who
call on you in truth. You fulfill the desires of those who fear you; you
hear their cries and save them. Thank you God for watching over all who
love you (Psalm 145:18-20) Now I pray that Emma would not be anxious
about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with
thanksgiving, that she would present her requests to you, God. And I
pray that your peace, which transcends all understanding, will guard her
heart and mind in Christ Jesus. (Phil. 4:6-7) For you, o Lord, are
righteous in all your ways and faithful in all you do. May our mouths
speak in praise of you, and may every creature praise your holy name for
ever and ever. (Psalm 145:17, 21) Lord guard her mind and her heart!
Protect her from harm and may she learn and have a great time. In Jesus
name...<br />
Amen<br />
<br />

<br />
Yeah I have cut the ends before but this was your first time getting 3 in cut and style!<br />
<br />
You were so excited....in the words of Seylah (exciteck....heeee)<br />
<br />
We walked to the salon because it was so close by and you did so well, you were a bit nervous but you stood still through the whole thing.<br />
<br />

What happened to the child-like girl I once new?</div>
<div dir="ltr">
Is she gone?</div>
<div dir="ltr">
The older I get the less playful I am. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
Sometimes I'm so overwhelmed with "duties".....that i forget to just live in the moment with you girls.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
My little Irish twins I see you girls growing so fast...is like if I'm watching a movie and in fast mode.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
So many times being in a rush is all I do, that I forget whats more important. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
So today I declare that I will act more child-like when time calls for it, I will do my best to have more patient and I will enjoy......the moment just the moment and let the memory penetrate (no pictures) just memories. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
For you Emma and Seylah are my world right now and I will try my best to scream less....to love you more (if that's even possible) and be more playful! </div>
<div dir="ltr">
Here is to making memories count!<br />
Love always<br />
Mom!</div>

<li>mommy don't talk....in which you have gotten hit for talking to mommy this way</li>
<li>you still say hangers and at times still say mommy chip with me</li>
<li>i can do it by myself</li>
<li>instead of saying delicious you say"b-licious"</li>
<li>you say frases for breakfast </li>
<li>"like a flamily"</li>
</ul>
<div>
The things you're doing...</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>no more potty on yourself (you have rare occasions now)</li>
<li>and you are starting to learn how to clean yourself</li>
<li>you can trace the alphabet</li>
<li>you give sinatra food and water and actually fight with Emma</li>
<li>you gotta win all the time and you are a sore loser when you don't win</li>

Emma the things you say....</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>when your telling me a story you say "and so" a lot</li>
<li>you're in a face of telling jokes....you say "I got a great joke for you" and when you're done saying your (not so funny but cute joke) you say "get it" and start laughing!</li>
<li>mommy that's not nice</li>
<li>you want to do everything Emma does and you say "I want like Emma"</li>
<li>your prayer "thank you God for everything, thank you for keeping us thank you for saving us in Jesus name Amen"</li>
<li>you're a genius </li>
<li>that's a great idea right</li>
<li>how could you</li>
<li>you're getting me frustrated </li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
The things you're doing....</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>you can write your name</li>
<li>you can go pee by yourself and clean yourself, however sometimes you want me to do it</li>
<li>your learning to bathe yourself too</li>
<li>you know almost all the shapes</li>
<li>You can ride your bike really good and faster than before</li>
<li>rolling eyes accompanied by attitude (yeah this get's you in lots of trouble)</li>
</ul>
<div>
And although you girls fight all the time, it melts my heart when you show love towards one another and Emma you care for Seylah like a little mommy would a child...it's cute to watch, but you both also fight like sisters do!<br />

<br />
I love Christmas and so do you girls....well what toddler doesn't!<br />
<br />
This year you girls helped us decorate the Christmas tree and we made Rudolph the red nose reindeer ornaments as a family.<br />
<br />
We all enjoyed this, I think you girls more, Seylah's jumping led me to believe that :)<br />
<br />
We also made little snow men ornaments and trough the month those little hands of yours couldn't help but touch the ornament over and over even after I said not to so many times.<br />
<br />
And of course we let you both put the star on the tree.<br />
<br />
Our little place was all Christmas out....that after Christmas I couldn't wait to take everything down.<br />
<br />
We actually threw away both Christmas tree. It was a bitter sweet moment for me because the main tree was your daddy's and I's first Christmas tree together. And the other one was a gift that totally electrocuted me when I unplugged it so it went out!<br />
<br />
So this year we are going to try on a real Christmas tree....I can't wait! As for your tree we are gonna get either one or two little ones so you girls can decorated.<br />
<br />
So the best part was first your papa and mama came to visit from Chicago and it was our first time celebrating Christmas with my side of the family. It was actually my first time dividing Christmas between your dad's family and mines......it was rough, but I know what to do next time.<br />
<br />
We first celebrated with my side of the family and we had a brunch at Arizaida's.....<br />

With the Santiagos we usually have a Christmas talent show....and not to brag or anything but I think we totally won....not that anyone is counting!<br />
<br />
Your daddy and I are a great team when we put our heads together.<br />
<br />
The talent show was a little short video called "A Snow White Story" Your dad recorder and directed and I edited.<br />

And Jay has been wanting to make ugly Christmas sweaters since before it was popular. So we worked on that too. Once again Jay thought about what to do and I made them.<br />
<br />
The theme was "Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer"<br />
<br />
The guys were the Bumble and the little guys were Yukon Cornelius and the girls Rudolph!<br />
Here are the Ugly Christmas Sweaters.....<br />

<br />
Thanksgiving passed, Christmas passed, new years passed....my birthday passed :) and I have not written to you girls.<br />
<br />
I do admit you girls have done so much I hope I can remember.<br />
<br />
So let's start with Thanksgiving. We spend it with my side of the family.<br />
We ate good food, played games and had a great time.<br />
<br />
This was the very fist time Sinatra step paws in my parents house and actually slept over.<br />
<br />
And yous two look so cute with your little outfits...as always :)<br />

I often stare at you,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and can't help but smile.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
People always tell me "they grow up so fast, so enjoy them"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And at times I feel like I don't</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But most of the time... I do. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And I stare at you so intensely</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So that I can remember that moment.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You make me laugh</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You make me cry</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You make me mad</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But you always melt my heart.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yes you are growing up so fast,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But this mamma is a blessed mom,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To be able to see you grow each day,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to see your progress,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to see your accomplishments,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to see your excitement,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to see your sweet side.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh how priceless!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To many more priceless memories.</div>
<h2>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love you to the moon and beyond!!!</div>

Mami</div>

<br />
Four years that God has bless us with such a beautiful, bright, spunky, sweet, funny, special little girls.<br />
<br />
Is crazy how four years have gone by in a flash!<br />
<br />
My Emma I am so proud to be your mom, I know you are only four years old today but there is something so special about you. And I know that God is guiding your steps and mines too because I have the privilege to teach you and guide you according to God's word.<br />
<br />
So here's a little prayer on your day...<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

I just finished watching the movie "Moms' Night Out"<br />
<br />
I totally need a moms' night out....maybe not as crazy as the movie, but definitely with no little girls around. :)<br />
<br />
I could utterly relate to the main character named Allyson played by Sarah Drew.<br />
Through the whole movie I was saying "that is me, that is me, that is me"!<br />
<br />
Like Allyson all I wanted to be when I was little was a mom....here I Am a mom today and<br />
<br />
I'm not happy!<br />
<br />
I'm not enough!<br />
<br />
I'm a failure!<br />
<br />
I've said it so many times in my head that I actually believe it.<br />
<br />
My throat tighten and my vision got blurry as the tears began to fall down my face when Allyson said to the biker/tattoo guy Bones played by Trace Adkins "I Am not enough"<br />
<br />
This is me?! I AM not enough, not for my husband, or my girls or my sisters, my parents....<br />
<br />
IAm not enough for me!!!!<br />
<br />
I realize this has got to stop, my talking down to myself has got to stop and I gotta begin to speak life into my life not distruction....of course it will take time, but for now this is a start.<br />
<br />
I AM enough.....for God!<br />
<br />
And that should be good enough for me.<br />
<br />
I know as a mom I'm probably not the only one who goes trough this, who thinks this way.<br />
Our kids drive us nuts, to the point where you actually think your going crazy...and to an extent I think is a little true. LOL<br />
We try to do and take care of everything, we stress ourselves out! Even for the little stuff.<br />
<br />
And for some homemakers is rough to balance everything.<br />
<br />
Homemaker or not we can't do it all.<br />
<br />
I think as soon as we realize that.....we would be in a much better place, mentally and emotionally.<br />
<br />
I know God has something in store for me. I can feel it, I can start seeing the change!<br />
<br />
And I can't wait!<br />
<br />
So if you are a mom and you haven't seen "Moms' Night Out" You've gotta see it!<br />
<br />
And if like me you put yourself down with your own words and thoughts....<br />
<br />
<b>You gotta stop!</b><br />
<br />
Speak life into your life, speak God's truth, stop your stinking thinking!<br />
<br />
But we can't do it alone, not only do we need our heavenly Father's help, but we need to share what we are going through with other women, other believers.<br />
<br />
I have been praying to God for a Godly friendship to come along.....after a year I believe God has answered my prayer and doubled it up :)<br />
<br />
God is good!!!!<br />
<br />
As women we need that kind of friendship, the ones that lift you up when you're down, and speak life into you, encourage and help you enjoy this journey called life.<br />
<br />
At the end of the movie they focus in on the kids and sometimes that is how I look at my girls..... I do what I do for them, because they are the future and is my responsibility to bring them up right!<br />
<br />
<b>Our jobs as moms........Is Important!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>And our kids are all worth it!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
Before I say goodnight I want to pray a little prayer for me and if you can relate then by all means pray with me!<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Heavenly Father I come before you Lord asking you to show me how to take control of my mind. Your word says we must learn to bring every thought into captivity. So help me Lord and remind me that I don't have to entertain those nasty thoughts in my head and replace them with your truth! As I read your Word, may it reveal any wrong thinking in me. May your Word be so etched in my mind that I will be able to identify the enemies lies. You have given me authority over all the power of the enemy as your Word says in Luke 10:19, and so I command the enemy to get away from my mind. I refuse to listen to lies. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Thank You, Lord, that I have the mind of Christ (1 Corinthians 2:16). Let your thoughts be my thoughts, show me where I have filled my life with anything that is ungodly. Help me to think upon what is true, noble, right, pure, lovely of good report, virtuous, and praiseworthy (phil 4:8) I lay claim to the sound mind that You have given me (2 Tim 1:7) In Your name I pray....Amen!</blockquote>
<br />
PS Please share your thoughts with this mamma! :)<br />

You have grown up so fast I can't believe your 3.<br />
<br />
I want to say you are finally potty trained after a year of attempt....but you still have some mistakes, Although they have substantially decreased (thank you Jesus) accidents still happen.<br />
Nevertheless you have made progress and naps are pipi free!<br />
<br />
We just gotta work on nights.<br />
<br />
You are definitely talking a whole lot more and sometimes you don't want to stop. You like to play by yourself a lot, but you also like to play with Emma, even though you fight a lot....but that's normal.<br />
<br />
I love how you say "sorry" even when Emma has to do the apologizing. And you girls kiss and make up quickly....is a love/hate relationship with yous 2.<br />
<br />
You know how bad I am at remembering all that you do, but what I do remember is;<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>you give big tight hugs (oh how i love those)</li>
<li>you melt mommy's heart when i'm upset and you say "i'm sorry a kissie"</li>
<li>you scream really loud for everything</li>
<li>you really don't like to share especially with the neighbor's girls</li>
<li>you like to be ahead of us when walking sinatra</li>
<li>you like to seat and "read" books</li>
<li>you like alone time with mami and papi</li>
<li>you say "i'm talking to mami" with a mad tone if emma interrupts you</li>
<li>you really like to test me...a lot!</li>
<li>you like to workout</li>
<li>you like to open the fridge and grab cheese, milk, apples and grapes</li>
</ul>
Well that's pretty much what I do remember.<br />
So here's to another year of seeing you grow and learn and explore!<br />

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;">Now that he is older he has gotten better, however he does have an attitude....can you believe that?! </span><br /><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">And there he is....sleeping!

I have been so busy lately and I have neglected writing to you girls.<br />
Nevertheless writing to you girls is always in my mind.<br />
<br />
Lately you both have been driving me nuts...but I guess that's part of being a mom.<br />
<br />
Before I forget, this is what Seylah has been saying lately;<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>leave me alone</li>
<li>woopi "movie"</li>
<li>I lou you</li>
<li>and you know this one (my favorite) hankers for "hold my hand"</li>
<li>seepi me "sleep with me"</li>
<li>pilow "play dough"</li>
<li>wach that wach that, (what's) you say it 2x and fast! lol</li>
<li>listen</li>
<li>guys</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
As for Emma.....what don't you say!!!!<br />
I swear you think you are a grown women sometimes. The other day you said you wanted to be bigger like mami and papi....<br />
YIKES!<br />
You wanna grow up on me way to fast!<br />
These are the things you say that I can remember;<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>because....A LOT</li>
<li>mami that's not nice</li>
<li>I wanna eat something else</li>
<li>hit Seylah, she's being bad</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
You are my little independant girlie. I can see that you are a leader and you are likable by kids a bit older than you.<br />
There is just something about you that people just like to be around you. Your very friendly and charismatic, and very strong will. It's your way or the highway.<br />
However that last part does not fly with mommy, so you get your share of timeouts and spanking.<br />
I do give in sometimes, if I see is not a big deal but most of the time...is my way :) (like it should be)LOL!<br />
<br />
I know there is more I just can't remember, but is better sometimes to show you than to explain.<br />

<br />
Last night I was looking at home videos of you girls from born to now I think I spend about an hour reminiscing of the past.<br />
<br />
Made me wanna have another baby like now! But I gotta be real with myself....right now is not the time.<br />
<br />
I don't know why we do this to ourselves, we moms complain sometimes that our kids are too much at times, but yet we want more! I say we are masochists! :) However I think we think of the positives and the love we have for our kids that makes us want more :)<br />
<br />
I always wanted a big family! Before having you girls it was 6 kids....after you girls that number went down to 4 and sometimes I think with just yous two is enough! :)<br />
<br />
Either way your daddy and I want more....and we will God whiling!<br />
<br />
Looking at your faces, and just seeing both of you girls grow in the last three two years I'm in awe of how time flies and then that's when I find myself realizing the famous statement that every parent of older kids say "cherish these moments because they don't last forever"<br />
<br />
And although you girlies are still small, and I feel like I have enjoyed and cherish moments with you both....I feel that it is not enough!<br />
<br />
I sure do miss those baby days....I guess that's why we want more babies to have those baby days again!<br />
<br />
Oh the baby smell, the bonding while nursing, 2 naps in a day plus night time! more sleep for mommy! :)<br />
<br />
Regardless the stage you girls are in I want to just bottle it up and never let it go....I guess that's why I record you both A LOT! Those are my cherish memories!<br />
<br />
<br />
Memory lane.....<br />
