somehow we got to church very early today. that was nice for a change! i usually get there on time, but i still always feel rushed. elise practiced walking all over the church and i put a sticker on shelby's fingernail... it didn't even make it through sunday school. oh well, she loved it. she told me that she was a princess because of it.
what a great word today! pastor jim preached about the blind man in john 9. that man didn't even know who jesus was. when asked who had healed him, he said "the man they call jesus." this man was healed by jesus, and that miracle was so undeniable that he couldn't help but acknowledge jesus for what he had done and worshiped him.
the girls fell asleep in the car, and hardly woke up between the car and their beds :)

mommy and me ballet
i can't believe that i'm participating in a mommy and me ballet class! shelby loves it, though, and the teacher makes it fun. however, it is still so over the top girly! i may have to sign us up for the daddy and me build something class during the next session to remember who i am :) i do love being a part of something with shelby that she loves so much. her and elise are my little dancers. both of them could dance before they could walk.
elise is walking more and more. sometimes she toddlers around like that's her primary form of mobility... until she falls... and then she resorts to the trusted method of crawling. i can't blame her for sticking with that for as long as possible because she's so fast!

48 hours and counting
shelby says 'binkies at papa elf's house' at nap and bed time, but she's working through it. i honestly expected this to be harder than it has been.
she won't take a nap in her room yet, she starts out there and then i have to move her to my bed so she doesn't keep elise awake. yesterday that involved a lot of cuddling for comfort, and i did eventually turn the tv on. she's in there now, so we'll see if she falls asleep today. yesterday she fell asleep on the love seat.
i went to the doctor today. i have a kidney infection. the good news is that it's not bad enough to put me into the hospital yet! elise was slightly traumatized when i needed to go to the restroom to give my urine sample. dr. harper and three nurses were in the room trying to comfort her!
shelby weighs 35 pounds and is 3' 3". elise weighs 33 pounds.
shelby got a tour of a fire truck on our way home from the doctor! i found it interesting that shelby asked to touch one thing in every storage compartment on the outside of the truck. james, the fireman, put her into the cab of the truck. the truck was on and very loud, shelby wasn't too crazy about that, but she didn't seem too scared.
nathan, parish, and i went to nathan's parent / teacher conference today. it was really tough on nathan. he is having a terrible time with organization. i'm pretty sure that if he would decide that it's necessary and believe that he can do it he would just about have straight A's. i hope the conference was enough to light a fire under him. i have to admit that as a mother it broke my heart to see him under such duress today.

no more binkie!
today shelby gave her binkies to papa elf. he came to fix the garage door (yeah!) and the bathtub faucet(yeah!!) so i had her put the binkies in a baggy and give them to papa elf to take home to help baba quit smoking :) she wouldn't take a nap today, but tonight when she asked for it i reminded her that they went with papa elf for baba. she paused and thought about it for a second, said 'oh, oh ya' and that was it! she went to bed and to sleep with no problems!! this was just way too easy.
