new (slightly dangerous) territory.

We entered a new territory this morning, dear Taylor. .

Dangerous and far too advanced for 3 years old.

You've recently started getting up RIGHT before my alarm every morning (thank you for that). This new habit of yours has made my getting ready for work take almost twice as long. While I'm doing my hair/makeup, you usually hang out/play with my shoes and keep yourself busy making a shoe mess in my closet. This morning, you asked me if we could go get you a dress like Audrey's. You went on to tell me ALL about the dress, "It has hauwts (hearts) on it . . . its fluffy on the bottom . . . it has stripes on it . . .Can we go get me one mom? I think she got it at Costco? Hmm, maybe Tauwget? . . . No, I think Costco."

We are ALREADY in the land of wanting the things your friends have? You're THREE.

After my own heart.

You've been "my daughter" since you could sort laundry at eleven months old.

(Mommy LOVES doing laundry.)

And now at three, you cant pass up an item at the store that is in the wrong place. Here, at JC Penney, looking for something for new baby Emma, you did NOT like that the shirts were not all neatly piled. And you had to fix it.  ;)

Amigo's.

As soon as I walked in the door from work yesterday, you asked if we could go to Amigo's for dinner. When I implied that we could go you told your dad, "Mom said we can go to Amigo's for dinner!" (Though he was sitting right there for the conversation.) "Dad, we should walk! Can we walk dad? Its so close and its a BEAUTIFUL day!" In short, your dads answer, " Um no. You crazy? Its a million degrees outside."

{Belieber} "...Ya, I love him"

I am struggling with going backwards to post old things on here so i dont forget them, but I dont want to "get behind" with current stuff. So I will just do it as I have time. Here is one of my absolute FAVORITE videos.
We Love Justin Bieber! (July 2010)

(I'll figure out how to get the video to youtube so the video is on here, instead of a link to the video. As you can tell, I'm SO experienced in this whole blogging deal.)

Bedtime

Most nights before bed you are allowed to watch one tv show and then I will rock you. If its not too late you get to sit on my lap and we'll watch something together, before I rock you. I recorded you last night asking me if we could watch 'Wipeout' and then a conversation about when 'Dancing with the Stars' will be back on. I HAVE to figure out how to upload those recordings. Until then, here is last nights tv watching. Less sitting on the couch relaxing, more trying to do the 'Fresh Beat Band' dance. <3

I'm still giggling at watching you try to imitate their moves.

Dear Taylor, {Take One}

Alright TED, let me start by saying yes, I got the idea from the googlechrome commercial (and my dear friend Jen, who also liked the idea and acted upon it). I kept telling myself I need to write more things down to share with you and remember all the little moments. So here it is. My shot at blogging/journaling for my Taylor Emerson. A few things I want to remind myself to write about:

• "It's ok! It's ok!"
• Dancing with the Stars
• Swim Lessons
• "Mom, I tried it! I LOOVVEE Bwoccoli!"

P.S.
Please forgive me for not being all that great at articulating. Most of the time the thoughts and memories go so fast thru my mind that my fingers cant keep up and I will be lucky if I remember to type all the words. I will try my best. ;)
