joys of motherhood: june

-Caitlin does "quiet time" every day while Nolan naps. She basically just has to stay in her room and sometimes plays with toys but usually just snuggles down and has the ipad all to herself. She plugs in her headphones and watches her shows and plays games. I try to limit their "screen time" throughout the rest of the day, and I only let her play the ipad during quiet time and so far it was worked amazingly. So anyways one day it had run out of battery and i came in and plugged it in to re-bot for her. We were waiting for it to turn back on and she was getting a little impatient. Then we had this conversation:
Me: "just wait for the apple to pop up"

C: "but... who ate the little bite from the apple?"

Me: "I dunno"

C: "maybe it was someone really sneaky"

Such a mystery of life... who ate the bite from apple's apple? Probably Steve Jobs.

-I bought the cutest little overalls for Nolan. Short pants, grey/white/blue plaid i was so excited to put them on him. Lately he has been very opinionated about his clothes so when I showed them to him a few times he had said no. Finally I decided today was the day for his overalls and i put them on him and as i was doing up the buckles he started to realize what he was very and got really mad and adamant. He was yelling very sternly "no! no buckles! no! off now!!!!" and tugging on the buckles. He kept repeating himself and was just working himself into a tizzy and had to get these shorts off. So I took them off and offered him another pair of normal shorts and he put them off and was fine. Heartbreak! I don't know why he hated the overalls so much!

-Caitlin's latest obsession is sonic grilled cheese. She asks for one for lunch every single day and LOVES them. She eats the whole thing, but no crusts.

-When we were in Park City riding the alpine coaster Caitlin was just giddy with excitement. She loved riding it and she was screaming and yelling and whooping so loudly. She often comes up with phrases that are all real words but put together in the funniest context. For example, on the roller coaster she yelled: "I just love these appointments!" and "This is serious!"

-Walking out of the grocery store the other day Caitlin turned to me and said "Mom! You just look so cute today with your big baby belly!" 

-Caitlin calls Nolan "Nolie" (No-LEE) and Nolan calls Caitlin "tayen" and they sure do love each other. It warms my heart seeing them play together and have little moments together. Not saying they get along 100% of the time, but realistically probably 95%. It's such a blessing.
