Dear Lorelai,
This has been quite an eventful week for us! You broke my cell phone, we had a sleep over with a bunch of Alyssa's friends, went swimming at Daddy Becca's and today we went to get my school supplies then to the mall.
On Thursday I was making you some lunch, you asked for macaroni. I put a pot of water on to boil and we sat down to watch Elmo while waiting for it to boil. You asked if you could get up and lay, and of course, I said yes. You were riding your horse bike back and forth from the living room to the dining room having a blast. Well, you decided to take it into the kitchen and I didn't notice. (Bad Mommy!) When I put the water on to boil I left my phone on the kitchen counter. You used your horse bike to stand on and grabbed my phone and dropped it into the pot of water. So now, for the past week, Mommy hasn't had a cell phone.
Alyssa's "Back-To-School Sleep Over" was a lot of fun, but you're really not used to that many people all being here at once, so you got tired really quickly. There were 13 girls here. It was you, Alyssa and MyMy; Septembers girls Halie, Elizabeth and Rianna; Karissas girls Danica, Sophia and LyLy; the little girls from up stairs Melissa, Marissa and Valerie; and Alyssa's friend from school, Brea. Everybody played board games, watched movies and decorated cup cakes. I think Alyssa had the most fun ever at her sleep over.
Yesterday we went to Daddy Becca's apartment and went swimming all day. You had so much fun. You are fearless in the water. At Becca's pool there is a spot that is about 3 or 4 inches deep, it's so you can put a chair in the pool and keep your feet in the water. I tried keeping you in that part so you could play and be safe, but you wanted to jump in the deep end over and over again. Mommy, Becca, Alyssa and Wela kept a good eye on you though. After we got out of the pool we went to the grill to make chicken and hot dogs. While we were out at the grill Crystal and her friends, Erica & Veronica, left and accidentally locked us out. Becca had to get the apartment manager to let us in. You were so tired by the time we finished eating that you fell asleep in my arms while we were watching a movie.
Today my Financial Aid money finally came through so we went to my school and got my tool kit, uniforms and books for class, which starts on Monday. After that we went out to eat then walked around the mall for a couple of hours. We rented you one of those strollers that looks like a car. You loved 'driving' around the mall. When we got home we took a nap, and it was great. Now I'm ready to go back to bed.
Good night my sweet girl!
Love, Mommy!

Makin' Messes
Dear Lorelai,
This past week has been so crazy. Mommy had to make Auntie Jennifer's birthday cake and a cake for a friend for a baby shower. While I was baking and decorating cakes I let you and your cousins run around like crazy. The whole house ended up being one big mess. The kitchen and dining room looked like a bakery exploded, and the living room and our bedroom looked like three toddler tornadoes went through. But it's okay, because y'all had so much fun playing.
Wela, MyMy, Brother Bear, Alyssa, you and I went swimming yesterday, and man, let me tell you... You are fearless! You kept wanting to jump into the pool all by yourself. We couldn't stay long though, since your skin is so light, we were afraid you would burn.
Well, Baby Girl, I hate to make this so short, but I am tired and I'm sure you are too. Until next week...
Love You More Than Milk & Cookies

Our "Stay-Cation"
Dear Lorelai,
This week was supposed to be your very first camping trip, but things didn't go exactly as planned. Since we were not able to go camping we went to the Farmers Market, the Zoo and the Arboretum instead.
You always love going to the Market, but this time you had even more fun than usual because we took your wagon. You, Brother Bear and Kamaria all took turns riding in the wagon. Y'all had so much fun sampling all the different fruits and vegetables. I think your favorite was the mango, so Wela bought you one. I think I will make you some fruit salad tomorrow and add the mango in.
The night before we went to the Zoo I got your Zoo Animals puzzle out and we were playing with the pieces. I asked each of y'all which was your favorite animal. You picked up the giraffe and said you wanted to see him at the Zoo. We got up early the next morning and headed to the Zoo. We saw the gorillas, flamingos, elephants, zebras... and the giraffes. You even got to feed the giraffe. We played in the water for a little while, then everybody was getting tired so we left. You had so much fun at the Zoo with Mommy, Wela, Brother Bear and MyMy.
Yesterday we went to the Arboretum with Mommy, Wela, Aunt Heather and all of your cousins. We saw all of the pretty flowers and you and your cousins ran off and played in the grass. After that we ate lunch and played in the water. We stayed at the Arboretum for about 4 hours, but (as usual, since this is Texas) it got to hot and we had to leave.
You had an awesome week, even when we just stayed at home. You loved having Wela home for five nights in a row. Tonight is Wela's first night back to work, so now I have to work go wake her up.
With Love,
Mommy
