So this past Monday (2/17/2014) was presidents day... On Sunday 2/16/2014 my daughter and myself were at my Moms for dinner and on our walk home here is how our conversation went:
Kyleigh: Can I stay up and watch my show?
Me: Sure, you dont have school tomorrow
Kyleigh: Why?
Me: It is presidents day
and I fully expected her to not understand what Presidents day was...
Kyleigh: Obama has his own day??!?!?
Me: Hahaha, yes Kyleigh Obama has his own day!
Kyleigh: hmmm DONT LAUGH AT ME!
haha, I love my girl!

Babies...and Belly Buttons
As all of you Moms know the dreaded talk of where babies come from is completely inevitable, predictable, but all at the same time feared by so many parents. Well, my time came last week with Miss. Kyleigh. Keep in mind she JUST turned 5. Her dad is not apart of her life he lives in a different state but here is how the conversation went down...
Kyleigh: Mom where did I come from?
Me: Jesus
Kyleigh: No! I came from your belly, DUH!!
Me: Yes you did
Kyleigh: But how did I get in there, I cant go back
Me: Magic, God gives Mommies magical powers to make babies grow
(trying to keep the conversation rated G)
Kyleigh: Oh, I get it! Daddy Justin (her biological Dad) bought a BIIIGGG truck, and he backed it up and shot me threw your belly button thats why its a hole, and I grew and the Doctor cut me out!
Me: Yep..thats how it worked. But what about your belly button its an outy?
(Laughing hysterically by this point)
Kyleigh: Guess a truck wont fit in my belly button
Me: Ok, works for me!
Now if you could of been in the middle of this conversation you would understand the awkwardness, weirdness, and it was just hilarious!

The Queen is 5!
Today is bugs 5th birthday! Yep... 5! Five years ago at this moment I was being admitted into the hospital after being in labor all night and all that day. At 7:40pm out popped Kyleigh Lynn at 5lb 14oz and 18in long. My girlfriend is now 44in tall and 45lbs. Love her!
So this weekend we decided to go to the store and buy things to make cupcakes for her class today. So we got 2 boxes of cake mix and food coloring and made neon pink and green cupcakes with purple frosting. As we are walking out of the store I realized I forgot something...Here is how Kyleigh interpreted what I said
Me: Crap! I forgot vegetable oil for your cupcakes
Kyleigh: Huh? I dont want vegetables in my cupcakes thats gross!
Me: (laughing hysterically) NO! Its not veggies like you think, it helps it cook better
Kyleigh: I dont care! STOP LAU---GH---INNNNGGG ATTTT MMMMEEE!!!!! (in a yelling voice)
HaHa. She actually thought I meant I was going to cook vegetables into her cupcakes! Only my child. The things they come up with. I have been trying to participate in her hilarious conversations and blog them only because I just have to remember this stuff. Its too hilarious!
So its 3:34 on her birthday which means I have an hour and 26 mins before it is time to go home. Kyleigh is going to be too excited when she sees what the birthday fairy brought her!

Behavioral Health Setback
For the most part I cannot complain about my daughter. But her behavior is starting to concern me, not only last week did she break my little dogs leg, but today she was punching and kicking my big dog. Im quite concerned. I have an appointment with her pediatrician Monday morning to find out what is going on. Needless to say it is getting to be a concern for me.
I understand that nobody is perfect and we ALL have out faults, and bad features..But hitting a dog and breaking its leg? Really? My Mom thinks it is a phase she is going thru, but I think it goes a little deeper. I try to provide a well rounded home for her, but I dont (I wont lie). My boyfriend and I are by no means perfect however we are not violent towards each other and we do not fight in front of our kids. I never grew up seeing my parents argue - even thru their divorce I NEVER witnessed it, and even now 26 yrs later still have yet to see them fight. So I do not know what that is like.
I have been doing some research this afternoon about this and what I am finding is that it is learned behavior. Will (my BF) tells me that her Dad is like that so Kyleigh will be like that. No Justin (Kys Dad) is like that because all his parents did was argue growing up. Its learned behavior. I didnt get my degree in Psychology because I was a dummy.
But...
I will keep everyone posted on our journey thru this with hopes of a steady answer.

Happy Halloween!
So Halloween is widely known as the holiday that all parents hate...Why? C-A-N-D-Y! If your like me, I limit my daughters candy intake to a strict minimum but Halloween I have to fart around that rule - a bit! I am not one of those Moms that doesnt let her kid trick or treat...But I am one of these Moms:
1. Check the Candy
I am a Nazi with this! I check the candy thoroughly. This day and age I dont want to take any chances. Sure I live in a very credible neighborhood with awesome neighbors, but we all have bad days! So before she can partake of any candy it is checked by me...and my boyfriend!
2. Amount
She is allowed ONE piece of candy after it is checked, and then allowed ONE piece of candy daily until she forgets about it..Usually a week! HaHa. Yes she absolutely forgets that we have candy...Why because it is hidden, forbidden, for nobody to find but me - MOM!
3. Hiding the Goods
Oh yes, we hide them. Usually in the back of a cabinet that you cant see it even if I open the cabinet. The goal is to have my daughter forget it exists! Ha, Im so bad!
Hope everyone has a Creepy Crawly Spooky Haunted Spidery Halloween!!

When kids get excited...
Do they jump up and down?
Laugh?
Cry?
Run?
Hide?
Scream?
OR
If you are blessed to have a wonderful, fun loving, Divalicious daughter like mine...She wakes me up at a God awful time of the morning to tell me shes going on vacation! For about 6 months my parents have had it planned that they take my daughter on vacation to a resort in Orlando in October. The first thing my Mom does is tell my daughter (yes, 6 months ahead of time), so I have 6 months to hear about how vacation is coming, and we are going to "Mouse House" etc. So the time has came (today) for my daughter to go on "cation" with my parents to "Lando." My daughter is usually up by 6:30-6:45 on school mornings. This morning was an exception...
4:45am
Here comes my child completely excited about "cation." This was the convo we had at 4:45 this morning
Kyleigh: Mommy Mommy WAKE UP (shaking me)
Mommy: Kyleigh Lynn, really?
Kyleigh: Im going on cation today wake up and braid my hair
Mommy: Kyleigh it is 4:45 in the morning we have 2 hrs to sleep
Kyleigh: But Mommy...
fastword 30 seconds...and Dad becomes involved!
Daddy: Kyleigh go to bed it is NOT time to get up
Kyleigh: ooooo no cation
Mommy: No your going on vacation alright...Right to your bed
Kyleigh: whatever, you never let me party
Daddy: Kyleigh....
She runs off!
Ha!
Laugh?
Cry?
Run?
Hide?
