So as I am putting Jenna to bed tonight she decided to procrastinate by practicing the body parts. I guess she knows I will not interrupt her if she is doing something "educational".
She proceeded to PULL my hair as hard as possible "Haaaayer."
Pinch my neck "NECK!"
Stab my eyes "Eyyyye. Other eyyyyye."
Sticks her finger in my ear canal "Mommy's ears"
"Glasses!!" and proceeds to rip my glasses in half.
Lastly, she grabs my upper and lower teeth, pulls my mouth apart and yells "YAWN!!!"
Love it injuries and all!

What they don't tell you
You know, there are SO many things they do not put in the pregnancy / parenting books. My best friend luckily filled me in on many things...from childbirth to the recovery to having a toddler. I am STILL discovering things they do not put in the books.
Some I will not go into on a public blog bc they are either gross or inappropriate or both.
One thing I am finding lately is that once the kiddos get to a certain age, you have to ask yourself if you are forming bad habits...with EVERYthing that you do - what you feed them, where you take them, how you discipline them, you name it.
For instance, Jenna has developed a love of the TV. She will now point at any TV and yell "MY TV! TV? TV on!?" Thank God there is no TV at day care so I do not feel that badly about letting her watch a couple shows at night.
She also likes to watch while she eats though. And you know, it is a lot easier if she does. But, Jeff and I have decided we are going to try to practice all of us eating at the dining room table. Dear Lord, the indigestion that leaves me with.
That quote from A Christmas Story rings true: "My mother has not had a warm meal in 15 years." I get it. This is also why we do not go out to eat with Jenna. Not sure when we will be able to do that again without breaking out into sweats.
She is addicted to her blanket and pacifier again - I let her take them in the car but not into other places. Negotiating with a toddler is....interesting.
There are a million examples but I will stop. Sigh!

This blog
So I originally started this as a place to house videos for the grandparents...I realized anyone besides her grandparents are probably bored to tears if they come across this site. LOL
Life is good - busy but so good! My role at work has been quite different lately since our core team of 5 is now a team of 3 since 2 of the girls are out on maternity. Good times (insert sarcasm). But, in all honetsy, it has given me lots of great opportunities.
Jeff leaves this week for his annual golf trip and then will be in Orlando for training the next week. That means i will be holding down the fort here - fingers crossed we all (me, Jenna and Ramsey) stay healthy.
Jenna is hilarious - talking more and more every day. She has her toddler meltdown moments for sure - but overall is just a laid back, happy go lucky little girl. She loves Dora and Yo Gabba Gabba, likes to color, read and go to the park. She is fearless and a true daredevil. She falls, gets hit, goes into the Gulf of mexico and is never phased. So, all that stuff about girls being "easier" or "calmer" I would dare to disagree. But, I love it.
I also think we have the class clown on our hands. She is FUNNY and lives to make people laugh. She just "gets it" already. I foresee many teachers' notes in my future.
