And......

Well let's just face it. We all get busy. Sometimes I sit (rarely) okay stand and think, "If I could just get_____done then things would be great..." Usually the blank space of whatever that impossible daily task may be is proceeded by about five million other little things that also need to be done just to keep my world on it's axis. I have come to the conclusion that if I just let things be unfinished sometimes, I would feel more productive, strange as that may sound. Alas, raising a child is a handful in and of itself. So, I guess I should just let it go that my closets aren't totally organized and my pictures aren't all printed and layed out in a beautiful scrapbook. Which I might add is a talent I don't possess and wish I did. I guess you can't do it all.....
Jaiden is so full of life and exuberance!! I can't even tell you how much fun it is to watch her becoming her own little person. I love to listen to her interpretations of things, and the child like innocence in her explanations. The other day we were driving to the sitters (aka my mom!) and I was picking up food for the two of them. I asked Jaiden if she would like chicken fingers or a quesadilla, to which she so straightforwardly replies, "Chicken fingers and a quesadilla would be GREAT mom, thanks..." I couldn't help but laugh. She sure is precocious. I can see where she gets it..but that is a whole other story.
Jaiden is in LOVE with anything princess. We have "Enchanted" which is in my standards one of the cutest child movies I have ever seen. And I have seen many. Everyone knows I love Disneyland and Barbies just as much as the next girl. She will get in her little white dress up dress and put on her necklace that lights up and sit close as I let her to the T.V. and watch Enchanted. Then for ALL the dancing and singing she will stand and dance and sing along. Almost verbatim. It is uncanny how well she can remember lines and songs. This I must admit is one of my favorite things to watch her do. It makes me feel like a kid again myself. I use to do the same thing when I was little. I always wanted to be That princess in That movie. I would sing and dance to every song and recite the script before it even came out of the characters mouth. It's interesting to see all the similarities you have with your kids.
All is well in the Bill's home. Summer is winding down and Randy had a great 31st birthday that we celebrated with some friends and family. I am excited for fall, but I get ahead of myself. The true fall doesn't start until November when it cools off, but I do decorate in all my fall glory come September 1. That way in my world fall begins when it should. One last holiday weekend this summer then it will be September. I can't believe it!! This year has flown by!!!
