Funny Alexis Sayings and Doings

I think Alexis might be a little OCD. I found her in her closet sorting all her clothes.... by the color hanger they were hanging on! She is quite the organizer and sorter.

In Sunbeams, Alexis decided to take her snack (crackers) and place them between her toes and feed herself with her toes. Did I raise a monkey? Where does she get these things!?

Alexis was riding in one of those push cars and I asked her where she was going. Her response, "I'm going to my rotations!" Such a daddy's girl!

While in the bra section at WalMart, Alexis blurted out... "WOW! That one is HUGE!" Thanks for the observations!

Alexis refers to McDonalds as "Old MacDonalds"

To Nap or Not to Nap, That is the question

Alexis will be four years old in December and she is quickly becoming more vocal about her own opinions. She has decided she does not want to take naps anymore. Our compromise has been that she at least needs quiet time even if she does not sleep. Last night we had a HUGE meltdown by the end of the day. Alexis kicked, screamed, yelled and hollered a good 45 minutes in her room. She was SO tired and every little thing set her off. I asked her to brush her teeth and she blew up at me.
Many people are surprised I was able to get Alexis to nap until recently, but I think it is still a necessity. How do you decide? Is it a daily decision based on how that day is going? But then everyone says consistency is the key. Any advice? Anyone?
I can't handle daily meltdowns...

Blog Stalking

Do you ever just sit and look at blogs of others? I think I just get depressed when I do. I see all these people going to all these exotic places (anywhere but here), doing incredible things, taking amazing pictures, and living perfect lives. Sometimes I feel like I just don't fit in as a mother. I can't control my kids half the time, I warm up leftovers for most our meals, my house looks like it was just struck by a tornado, and I don't have the perfect smile, hairdo, and figure for all these adorable pictures with my kids. What is the deal? Do people really live that way? Are all mothers really back to a size 2 the day they deliver? And where do they find the time to be good at everything? Style please? Maybe just a little? I need help...
Blah!
I so want a vacation!
Am I the only one?
