This has never happened before
The strangest thing happened this morning. Brie was coming up the stairs and she has just gotten out of the shower so her wet hair was pulled back in a ponytail. She was coming to have me blow dry her hair and straighten it with the flat iron. Now Brie is William's absolute most favorite person that walks the earth. When he saw her he hid behind me in fear. He saw her and he started crying as if she was a stranger invading his home. I only see him react this way in front of people he does not know. How could this be?? For about 20 minutes he would not go near her and showed fear towards her. Brie sat in a chair in front of me so I could get started in blow drying her hair and half way through he recognized his sister again. He went on to being his usual rambunctious self and was handing over books for Brie to read to him. Once her hair was completely done he was laying all over her and climbing on her like normal. This was some very unusual behavior and we are thinking it might be because for the last week the girls have had friends over each day. There was a new person to meet daily. Perhaps he thought Brie was a new person! Have you ever encountered anything like this with your child??
Hampton Chain of Friends Sweepstakes
This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Hampton Hotels. All opinions are 100% mine.
(100 rooms for 2 nights) and 100 first prizes of weekend stays given away daily for the winner and three of their friends. How much fun would that be?! It's so simple to enter, all you need is your basic information and you qualify to win! I could not even imagine having an entire hotel for 2 nights! Even the weekend stay with 3 friends would be amazing. It would be a great way to have a girls or guys weekend together to catch up with friends without the hustle and bustle of the work week. It is almost like a retreat. I think if I won I would offer to meet up with a few blog mommies in a centrally located city, maybe Atlanta for a fun weekend away. I would also consider a few of my teacher friends locally to go to a Hampton Hotel right here in my home city for a weekend of fun.
Question: If you won, where would you go? What Hampton Hotel would you stay at? Who would you bring with you?
School's out!
It's official that school is out for the summer and I am kinda sorta happy about it. Happy because I have great kids that are fun to be around but not so happy because it takes me off of my regular schedule. I am one of those planning, scheduling and list making type of moms. I get crazy when things are out of whack or if there are too many people in my face while I am working. I also really like driving the kids to school and picking them up. There is something about the calm of the carpool line aka Willie's nap time. I guess Willie will have to adjust to having his sisters around more. He is usually perfectly calm when it is just the two of us. Oh well, I am glad to have my kids around regardless of how they act ;-) Happy Summer!!
Wordless Wednesday and the monkey-frog!
William got this cute new chair over the weekend and says "bi-bit, bi-bit" every time he goes near it. He thinks the monkey is a frog!!
Some things you may never hear
My blog buddy Sammy over at To Unravel is the King of random. Seriously, if you ever read his posts you would become completely immersed in his randomness. He wrote this one post entitled the Rootabaga line up and I put in my two cents. The point behind it all was listing 10 things you will NEVER hear. Some are from people, some are even from inanimate objects. Either way, I'm 99% sure you will never ever ever ever hear! So here we go, my 10 things are:
- Wow, that Nikki Minaj is a true talent!
- No problem random stranger, I will gladly change your baby's poopie diaper.
- Pam Anderson's body and face look so natural!
- I'd like to order one brussel sprout burger with a side of eggplant fries.
- Can't wait for the price of gas to go up!
- I wish the laundry would never end.
- I want a parking ticket so badly.
- Scraping wallpaper is so much fun!
- Oh please let this tree fall on my house!
- I'd prefer my Chinese food be prepared by Italians.
