How are you? I'm two.

While in Utah our bedtime ritual was all off.  Scarlett had a hard time falling asleep without the very regimented routine we've developed over the past few years.  It starts with chocolate milk, pillow, and blanket while watching her favorite show for that day (usually she will even specify a specific episode... oh how lucky she is she lives in the time of DVRs).  Then we move to her bathroom to eat her gummy vitamins and brush her teeth.  Bedroom next: jammies, new diaper, turn on noise machine, read story, climb in bed, sing songs... at the end I'll say "last song" where she gets to pick her favorite song that day and I sing it to her before kissing her goodnight.  One night I asked her what song she wanted me to sing.  "Trial gone."  "Huh?"  "Trial gone."  "Sing it for me."  "I'm am a trail gone"  "Oh!  Child of God!"  "Yes!"  I thought it was so sweet that she picked that song!  And yes sweetheart, you are a Child of God!

Playing princess with Taylor.  And yes, she's a little OCD.  She even likes to match the purses with the right color of dress.  Love her!


One day she wanted me to come play with her.  Jake said "no, mommy has to feed the babies."  "No, dad feed babies!"  "I can't.  I don't have boobies."  "Dad pump?"  haha!  We were so impressed that she knew that the pump was a solution.

One day while putting on my makeup Scarlett looked at me and said "spider in nose?!?"  ummm, ya.... I guess it might be time to trim my nose hairs. 

Several people have asked Scarlett "How are you?"  To which she replies "I'm two.

One day I was showing Jami that Scarlett knows some jokes.  Like if I ask her "are you a girl?"  She'll say "No, a boy" then she laughs and laughs.  So with Jami next to me I asked Scarlett, "are you a girl?" to which she replied "No, I'm a Child of God."  !!!

Right now she's starting to try everything "all by self."  I think me sitting with the babies all day has forced her to become more independent.  If she can't complete the task on her own she'll ask for help by saying "your turn."

She loves to eat "lemmons" which are really M&Ms but I like that it gives strangers the idea that we eat fresh lemons.  ;-)  This is a picture of her using her "binky."

She found my old wig at my parent's house.  It made the return trip to Michigan with us.  Too hilarious to leave behind!

One night she told Jake she was scared of the dragon and couldn't sleep.  Jake told her that the Dragon will go back in its cave when you sing songs.  So they sang a few songs and he left.  A few min later he was walking by the room where she was sleeping and he heard "a b c d e f g..." her little sweet voice singing away the dragons.
