This last week was spring break, (the joys of being a teacher) and I had the opportunity to play with my toddler all week! I had so much fun. I decided that when the time comes that I get to stay home with my kids, I want to be financially stable enough to have a membership to everything kids love. We went to the Children's museum, the zoo, the pool, different craft activities and just played. I think Eva right now is one of my favorite little people. Granted, she is trying to pull away from her naps, which will stink once this new baby will come, but she is still sooo fun!! Today she said the funniest thing. I will shamefully admit that my child, almost three is still in her crib. However, in my defense I did potty train her at two, but since I haven't had another child I didn't see the rush to get her out of her crib. So, knowing that we will soon have a new addition, I asked her where we were going to put the new baby. She replied, in my bed, mama. (Well, she really said, "en mi cama, mama.") Which really is a great answer. But, when I asked her where she was going to sleep she said, "en TU cama mama." Which means in your bed mama. Matthew and I both laughed out loud. Funny how these kids think. Now to the pictures, the first two just remind me of how silly my kid is and why I love her so much but the last one requires some explanation. Knowing that children really need there parents to celebrate their work, I started posting whatever she wants that she has colored, painted, or written on on her bedroom door. That is why she is standing near her door showing me her "burthdays." I don't know why they are her birthdays but she is VERY proud of them.

I can't believe how fast another year goes by. It seems like it was just yesterday I was celebrating a birthday but I know now that I am just getting closer to thirty and have left those twenties (well almost) behind. I had a nice birthday yesterday with my little family. Matthew and Eva were cute and wrapped me my gifts and it was fun to watch Eva get so excited about my "birthday to you." She opened gifts and even proceeded to blow out the candles as if the cake were for her. If anything, celebrating a birthday is fun again because she thinks it is so fun. She wasn't too happy about the poopyseeds Matthew put inside the cake, but it sure was beautiful and delicious too. I am grateful for them and always trying to make me feel so special!

My little Eva is sick!  And it is in these moments that you realize you would much rather be sick for them than to watch them be miserable and sad.  She still has her little moments of bossing me around, but for the most part she just sits on the couch with sad, glazed over eyes watching her movies all bundled up.  Makes me think how forgranted I take those moments when she wants me to play with her or those when she is babbling around the house, or even dancing with her baby like seen here trying to be Princess Fiona from Shrek.  Little girls are priceless.
