Graffiti and Vomit


Josie learned how to color. She scribbled on our rocking chair with a black pen while I was watching the Jazz game. While I was cleaning the rocking chair, she found an orange highlighter and tagged the kitchen wall. As you can see, we made her scrub it clean (I wish). Minutes later, she ran across the room with a pencil, and colored on the kitchen wall again. Even while I am typing this blog, I had to steal another pencil from Josie because she was trying to poke it through our couch cushion. I have no idea where she keeps finding all of these weapons either. Whenever I need a pen, I can never find one. Aha! She found them in my laptop bag.

Last night we let Josie cry in her crib for 10 minutes, and when we checked in on her she had puked all over her crib, bedding, the floor, and herself. This girl pukes whenever she gets mad!! What do we do? She wear's the pants in this house, and won't take them off unless we aren't looking.... did I mention she took her diaper off and urinated on her bedroom floor. She looked up at me with a stearn look, almost as if to say "that's right, I pee when and where I want."

Melanie visited the Dr. again for her eye. Unfortunately, there is a small stone in her tear duct, which will require the more serious surgery which we were hoping to avoid. The doc will have to break and remove a small piece of bone from her nose to create another canal for her tear duct to drain through. It doesn't sound fun. She will go under on the 24th. Uh Oh!!! Josie just puked on herself again!!!! She was sitting next to me brushing her teeth, and put the toothbrush in too far. I hate her puke breath. It is almost as bad as Melanie's morning breath...haha.... Go JAZZ!!!

Melanie, you should punch him for the breath comment! (Though Aaron can sympathize with you, Elliot!)

This age that Josie is at is a fun one, but a tough one too. They find ways to get into everything, and destroy things! And Park went through a digging in his poopy diaper phase for a while. NOT fun.

Josie is a very special spirit, and when I say spirit, I mean spirited. Although she is quite the character, I wouldn't change a thing about her. She is the sweetest girl in the whole world. HaHa about the bad breath!

Hey Mel. I can take pics Wed. or Thursday evening. Around 6 is probably the best time for lighting. Call me tomorrow and we'll figure it out!

OH, mean Elliot! Oh, the drawing...Jocelyn and Josie must be conspiring bcse she's drawn on our walls too. Samuel was never interested in that...thank heavens.
Seriously, the crying thing doesn't bother us. Do what you need to do to get some sleep!

How cute is Josie? I was so happy to see that you guys have a blog. Melanie, that really sucks about your eye. I hope it gets better soon! Elliot I had no idea you were such a Jazz fan! OK can I just say that Josie is the most adorable little girl EVER! She sounds busy too. I have a busy little lady myself and I know how fun/crazy it can be at times. Max uses to puke too when he cried for too long. It made the whole "cry it out" system pretty rough. Well you guys, keep in touch. It was great to see your blog!!!
