June 3rd

I can't believe it's June already.
I got to thinking the other day that a little under a year ago is when we got Vallerie's swing set for her birthday. Then I got thinking about my grandpa and it made me sad. I wish that Vallerie could have known him better.

Last night Eddie and I watched "This is 40" it was a pretty good movie, but the whole time I kept thinking how terrible I look at 30. It just really sucks.

Enough of the bad things...

I had an idea for this summer. I am going to look on Pinterest and find some good toddler things to do this summer and try and do (at least) one each week with Vallerie. I think that would be fun. Depending how it goes, it could be the start of a new blog.

Speaking of little miss Vallerie, she has been getting a little more defiant lately. She is really pushing the limits on what she can get away with. For example. Last night at dinner we had AMAZING baked steak. Vallerie was not allowed to eat her applesauce until she had a couple more pieces of meat. Eddie told her to put her spoon down, and she did, but the she proceeded to touch it and scoot it across the table. She wasn't picking it up. So, Eddie told her not to touch the spoon. She then hovered her finger over the spoon and just gave us this prissy look like "haha I know what you said and I know what I'm doing". I think we're in for some trouble ahead. She's also been throwing food. I had to put her in time out the other day for throwing food. I don't know why all of a sudden she's acting like this.

My cousin Nicki (Micky as Vallerie calls her) stopped by for a quick visit yesterday before she went home. She gave Vallerie a little shell from FL. She'll be back in July. We had a nice little visit. I wish she could have stayed longer. Oh well.
