Our new refrigerator and dishwasher got delivered on Friday. They both are SUPER awesome. The only "problem" we have is, since we got the one with the freezer on bottom, Vallerie can't reach into the fridge to put things away. I suppose that's not a bad thing, that also means that she can't get in there and take anything out. The dishwasher works great. I am trying to refrain from using it until it is at least 1/2 full. Hehehe.
Eddie bought me an early Mother's Day present. Rock Band 3! Whoo Hoo! I really want to get the keyboard that goes with it sometime, but that can wait. So, I played that a little over the weekend.
Vallerie is becoming an expert in throwing tantrums and whining. It seems she only does those things when I am around. I'm not sure how to get her to stop and listen to me. I suppose she will grow out of it. She did something really cool the other day. She went potty in the bathroom and she wanted 2 chocolates. Eddie said she could have one, and she said "No Papa, one and one is two chocolates" Eddie was so proud he gave her two. I really think she is too smart for her age. I looked it up online, and someone her age is supposed to be using 3-4 word sentences. Her longest is 12 I think. It goes something like: "Really really please Papa can I have a small candy bar please?" But she spits out 7 word sentences like it's nothing. She amazes us all the time. She is so smart!
We went to the store and got some groceries, and we saw some place mats for her. I got her one with shapes, and Eddie picked out one with planets. (She likes planets, especially "planet earth") So we've been using the planets place mat. She'll ask what each planet is. When we ask her to find certain ones, she can! I just think that is so cool. I suppose in order to learn things at that age, you have to have someone teaching you them, (Yay for Eddie and I) but even so, I really think she is smarter than kids her age should be. Yay!
Oh, Vallerie has now acquired Teddy... I am a little sad as he was my childhood friend, but she likes him and even calls him a bear. (Without any prompting from me) I have tried to take him back a few times, but she knows he's not in her bed (she has like 15 stuffed animals in her bed!) and will make me give him back.
This Friday is Eddie's sister's cookout. They are showing off their new house and announcing the gender of their baby. Eddie thinks it's a boy, I think it's a girl. I think she really wants it to be a girl since it is "their last kid". I guess we will have to wait and see. I am kind of excited to find out. She took my suggestion and is going to make a cake, and have the cake color reveal what the baby is. (blue for boy and pink for girl).
