Lucy says that all the time. "Watch Mommy", and then she does something that she thinks is great fun! Like jumping off the back of the couch onto the cushions. Or jumping into the pool all by herself with her inner tube floatie around her. But TODAY, she didn't use her floatie.
We were at a Not Back to School Party for homeschooling families. As we were packing up to leave, she wandered over to the edge of the pool and stood there waiting for me to see her. When I did see her, she was teetering on the edge of the pool. Daniel was closest to her and my friend, Valerie, was standing in front of me so she was closer too. I called out to Daniel and Valerie started walking over to her, so I went back to packing. I had put one more thing in the bag and looked up and she was underwater. Apparently because they were rushing towards her, she decided to 'go for it' and jumped in. Two moms that were already in the water came to her rescue. When they pulled her out, she coughed a couple of times and was fine. The moms were surprised I wasn't more upset. I thought to myself, 'they haven't read my blog, so they have no idea!'.

Bad things are happening when the house is quiet...
Just yesterday I was thinking that I didn't have anything new for the blog. I should know better than to think things like that. Something always happens then.
I knew she had been quiet for a few minutes this morning, and I knew I should have stopped what I was doing, but I didn't. I waited. Daniel noticed it too and went looking for her about the same time I did. He found her sitting on my bathroom floor with a bottle of lotion. She had rubbed it all over the floor and all over her legs and feet. She was calling it 'soap'. I wish y'all could hear her talk. She has a cute little accent to her words.
Enjoy the 'soap' pictures. I've also attached a few more from the last couple of weeks. One is of EmmaLee with a comb stuck in her hair. I have never seen a comb stuck like this before. It was a doozy. I thought I was going to have to cut it out. If you look carefully, you can see what I mean.
wearing danny's socks!
this picture is an older one (she's about 15 months or so)... she went into the pantry and shut the door. i grabbed my camera and caught her with her hand in the dortios bag! the first picture is the one where she got caught, the second is a minute later when she kept eating them!
this one about the same time as the one above, as you can see, she climbed into the cabinet! i took this one with my cell phone.
this one was even longer too. she's probably about 13 months old. she went into the hall bath and grabbed the toilet paper. she even has it in her mouth! we should have known then, that we were in trouble. Hindsight is always 20/20!
and finally, the comb stuck in EmmaLee's hair! it must have taken me 20 minutes to get it untangled. i think she learned her lesson, we'll see.

Poop
As you know, our daughter is quite proficient at taking her diaper off and we've resorted to duct taping it on her. Well.... Sunday morning Danny went upstairs to get her and I had forgotten the duct tape. She had taken her diaper off and had stepped in the poop and it was all over her and the bed. Nice huh? Needless to say, we had to bathe her before church.
Later that same day, she took her diaper off and said "potty"! So I took her and she peed! Yea!!! About 30 minutes later, she did it again! We are so proud.
Today, Monday, we went swimming at Mimi's house and before I put her swim diaper on, I took her to the potty! I had to go in the other room to get the phone and Daniel was with her. He called to me saying she was crying. So, I went in there and she was POOPING! Yes! I know this is just the beginning, but we're excited and proud. Daniel and EmmaLee took forever to potty train.

Vaseline
Not much has really happened this week. Just a couple of things.
Earlier this week, she flooded Daniels bathroom sink. The water ran under the sink instead of all over the floor. Weird, I know. It was still a mess to clean up.
Then today, while I was getting my hair cut (Danny was home with the kids), she came downstairs with Vaseline all over her arms like lotion. Danny said that when he went upstairs to see where she got it, he found that she had rubbed it all over the toilet seat in his bathroom. Nice huh? Danny didn't take pictures, sorry.
