Some girls are just born with glitter in their veins...

And that, of course, would be my daughter. Once Kylie mastered all her letters and writing them, I knew it was time for some sight words, but all the game-type items I found were a little too advanced and a little too pricey. So, I thought to myself, hey...I can do that! I went to work on the computer. The whole thing took only 20 minutes or so. I downloaded the pre-primer dolche sight words and then used power point to make a bingo game. Then came the fun part. Ky and I took a trip to Michael's where she picked out wooden hearts for her chips and a whole bunch of bling to put on them. She spent the rest of that afternoon painting and blinging her game, from stickers to gems, to paint, and she even colored most of the cards also. She's played the game everyday since we put the finishing touches on it. Of course, her favorite part is picking out which heart she wants to put on her board when she actually has one of the sight words. I'm just glad she's found a fun way to learn...

Beck has been all over the board lately. We finally found a bottle that he doesn't mind taking (The First Years Breastflow), but we can still only get him to take no more than 3 ounces at a time. He's nursing at night once, and in the morning once, and for the time being I'm pumping once in the afternoon just to slow down my supply so I can begin the stopping process all together. The only problem is, this isn't really enough to satisfy him during the day so he's become a little fussy, and he's def. more clingy than usual too, starting to whine the minute I set him down. I'm trying really hard to be patient, because I know we'll figure it out soon. I did get him to take some milk this morning out of his sippy, which he seemed to enjoy a little more than a bottle, but it truly seems like each day he prefers something else.

This weekend, we had a bunch of my friends over from high school, ate hot dogs and hamburgers, and just enjoyed catching up since its been so long and we're getting so old. It was so wonderful to see everyone and a huge THANK YOU goes out to my wonderful hubby who 'catered the event' so to speak...cooking everything and watching both the kids most the night. On Sunday, we went to church, and then I headed to Canton with my parents and Kylie. We had a blast having some mommy and daughter time and we def. enjoyed the beautiful weather.
