I'm not annoying! I'm a princess!!

So Leah is going through a stage called the terrible two's or it could be what is called being a woman. She's been throwing fits at stores when she doesn't get what she wants. After I get her dressed she goes into her room and changes into whatever she wants (usually princess apparel). She gets into make-up, lotion, perfume, anything cosmetic and applies it to her face, legs, hair and surroundings. Partly, it is cute! Partly, it is annoying. I love that she knows what she wants and is able to express it. I mean what woman doesn't want something when they go shopping, change there clothes a million times and love applying make-up? However, when we are in a store and she doesn't get what she wants a temper-tantrum is annoying. When we are about to leave and I realize she isn't wearing weather appropriate clothing, I have to dress her all over again, and THIS is annoying. And when she smears mascara all over her face and carpet, I get a little annoyed.

It was one of those days when all of the above occured and I said, "Leah you are being sooooo annoying!!"

She said, "NO I'm not annoying!"

I said, "Well, you are annoying me!."

She says in her most snooty voice, "My DAD doesn't think I'm annoying!"

I said, "Oh really?"

She said, "Yeah, he thinks I'm a princess."

Everything I was annoyed about went away. What a cute moment. I too enjoyed the relationship between my Dad and me when I was a little girl. I would often drive my mom crazy but beamed when my Dad was around. Dads should make their daughters feel like they are a princess. I guess she can be my "annoying princess!"

Our T-ball Stats: no outs, no strikes, no wins!

We are about half way through our t-ball season and I must say it has been a blast so far. The kids are just so stinkin' cute. I love the way they look at "Coach" Bobby. The look at him like he is AMAZING! I guess I can see why ;) One of the little girls on the team drew him a pretty picture and gave it to him. It is such a positive experience for all the kids...and the parents too!

The thing about t-ball is there are no outs, no strikes, no score. It is halfway through the season and it is still a little chaotic out there. A friend of mine described t-ball as controlled chaos, and I couldn't agree more. The kids have already improved tremendously, but there are always moments during the game when a kid will get distracted by a butterfly, plays in the dirt or sits on the field because they have checked out. The kids are all having fun though and that is what's important, especially because it's not like we can win anyway.

Bryce LOVES putting on his uniform. The first week he got it we woke up to him already suited up. He wanted to wear it to school, he was so excited. One week he was so sick with a fever and he begged me to take him to t-ball practice. The kid really LOVES the game. One of my favorite things he does is when he slides into home plate. It is totally unnecessary since no one is trying to throw him out, but it looks good and gets his white pants dirty. One day I asked him why he slides and he said, "If you don't get dirty, you aren't trying hard enough." Who knows where he gets this stuff...

Here are some of my favorite picks of the season so far:
