I do love being with Belle This isn't the first time we've had her for a few days in a row but she was much younger the last time.

The energy of a two year old is just unbelievable ! She's "testing" me alot - seeing what she can get away with -- but it's like riding a bike -- you never forget that "moms voice".

One great thing about this last few days -- I ALMOST have her vocabulary down I still have to guess at a few of words but she's learned to grab my finger and just take me over to what she wants she just melts me when she says "Ohhh Grandma" in that "ohhh silly you" tone of voice

What was frustrating about yesterday was I PLANNED AHEAD -- you know -- not like when I was young and just plowed ahead Put the dog gate up - made sure I had everything in hand so I wouldnt have to go back in the house - left the puppy at home so I only had to deal with one baby at a time -- so what happened Just goes to show you -- life is unpredictable

What I didn't tell you about all this is that because the dogs got out and put me behind that 15 min -- we may very well have missed the terrible car accident that happened just shortly before we got there our guardian angel watching over us once again

But now I've had a good nights sleep and I'm raring to go -- I may actually make it until NOON today !!
