the little things

We are lucky to have some amazing kids.  I don't have a big or funny story to tell you tonight just a few little stories.

This morning John got dressed in our room.  He told me "If I had a TV in my room, I would watch the news in the morning.  Or even the weather channel." 

I gave the kids each a mummy cookie for dessert.  Gillian held it in her hand and said "This cookie is amazing!"

We received our Magic Bands for our Disney trip today.  John was inspecting his band and said "Look!  He put our name on the inside."  I said "Who?"  He said "Mickey Mouse!"

After bath, I dressed Gillian in her Ariel pajamas.  She said "These are boring!  I can't wear these!"

The fire whistle went off tonight shortly after the kids were put to bed.  Gillian, who has come to terms with the whistle (see blog posts:  Whistle Not Nice and Whistles and Babies ), started to scream.  Daddy went to comfort her.  She kept saying "It scared me!"  Daddy calmed her down and once the whistle stopped, I heard John say "That whistle was killin me!" 

Babies & Whistles

Gillian was playing with her babies this weekend (I know big surprise). She was feeding them and walking them around the house in their stroller. Gillian and I went downstairs to watch some shows and relax. She put her babies to sleep and then woke them up. She left the babies on the couch for a little bit and started to look for her dress up stuff. Then the fire whistle went off at the fire station behind our house. Gillian has gotten over her fear of the fire whistle during the hurricane. However she went running over to her babies and picked them all up and brought them to me. She said "They scared! Whistle not nice!" She rocked and hugged her babies tight until the whistle stopped. What a good little Mommy!
