Play Date

Once a week my sister in law, Tiffany and I get together with her two kids while the husbands are working and we have dinner and do a craft. This week is was my turn for dinner, I made yummy sweet and sour chicken with fried rice and Tiff was in charge of the craft. She got these really cute hand puppet packets from Walmart. Brookie made a bird.

Kaylie made a pig.

Jayden hard at work on his lion.

The finished products. They were really cute and super easy to put together.

Brookie and Kaylie have a love hate relationship. One day they are best buds hugging each other all time, and the next day they are pushing and shoving each other! Obviously Kaylie has an older brother and is sometimes rough with Brooklyn and she doesn't like that. They are 4 months apart and hopefully we be best friends growing up. Brookie is trying to put down her bird to give "Key" a hug. That's what Brookie calls her.

Brookie loves to play with her cousins and since she doesn't have a sibling to play with like they do, I cherish these get togethers.

What is with the bandaid?

Our dear sweet little one has exzeyma (I don't know if thats how you spell it.) It just means dry skin. She kept picking at the dry skin on her nose leaving this scab that was never going to go away. Then one day I thought of a brillant idea, put a princess bandaid on it, hello!!! It's finally starting to heal but it will probably leave a scar. She also has lip-suckers syndrome. That's the real name and it really does mean something....you are always licking around your lips. Now we have noticed ever since she was little that if she was concentrating really hard she always had her tongue out to the side. Just recently it started getting worse where she was licking the whole bottom of her lip, leaving it red and irritated. Definately a bad habit that will be hard to break, but she's getting better. There are some pretty extreme cases, her's was mild and we put cream on it and it's actually all gone.
