Kids do the silliest things!

Abigale did several things today that just made me smile. A friend of ours was able to find a couple of Wiggles DVDs at a local consignment sale and Abigale went nuts - immediately had to put one in. She was willing to start it herself...if only she knew how. :) She's getting close to figuring it out - one of her new fav pastimes is turning off the sound right at the most critical part of any TV show....sigh...that's a fun skill.

She's still teething, but seems to be feeling better today. She decided to give her pretzel snack over to the cats, she's so sweet. They were cuddled (probably thought it was "safer" to sleep that way) and along comes Abigale, dumping her entire bowl of pretzels right in front of them. She pointed and told them to eat them, I put them back in her bowl, and she proceeded to give them back to the cats one at a time. So what was I to do, but grab the camera! lol :) The cats have put in a future request for snacks of cheese :)

Later that day....it was time for nap, and of course not a paci was in sight. I searched the house over. Yesterday she had three, all at one time, but could I find any of them?? The only spot I hadn't checked was under her snack bowl on the floor. I jokingly told Abigale to look under her bowl, and she didn't, and I didn't, and I continued looking under every pillow, in her toys, etc. Finally I come back and it's as if the bowl is speaking to me...sure enough her paci was right there, hidden under the little plastic bowl. Good news, she did promptly go to sleep once paci resurfaced.



I've done a few more layouts, it's just really worked out that I've had time to do them the past few days. I am a little bummed though. It seems like I don't have many comments and the past couple of design teams I've applied for have not chosen me. I know let's all say it together....poor Amanda. :) I am so blessed to be on the teams I'm on - I have the privledge of working with some fantastic designers. I know that I do these layouts for myself and my family, not for others approval, and the CTs are just a perk. I just hate putting myself out there for possible rejection. :( I haven't submitted to any magazines for precisely that - I just don't want to hear someone say your work isn't what I'm looking for (because in my sad little head I hear my work isn't "good enough"). I think it might be the teacher in me, I just love (crave even) positive feedback. Give me a gold star or a sticker and I'm a happy girl all day long. So, I think it's just a case of the blahs hanging over from another day. (and this concludes my complaining for this post!)
