My new friend

This is my new friend. Her names Viviann but she goes by Brooke. She's almost three and is pretty awesome!

When I went over to Sammy's yesterday she said my name as soon as I came in. Apparently everyone had been teaching her my name before I came over. She was shy for about three minutes and then gave me a high five. She showed me her toes and how she can count to ten in Spanish. And then she gave me a big hug.

I'd brought a movie over so Sammy and I headed down to go watch it, but she said she wanted to come with. SAmmy's dad kept asking her to sit with him, but she wanted to hang out with me and Sammy. Is it bad this made me secretly happy? Haha! So we played with Brooke for awhile. I taught her about Yoda, played a roller coaster game with her, and then we were just throwing Yoda at the wall. We went and showed Brooke's parents her new knowledge, then said we were going to watch the movie. Brooke still wanted to hang out with us, and her parents said it was ok if she came and watched the beginning, she wouldn't watch it anyway.

So, we headed back down to the basement to watch the movie. Sammy handed her an xbox controller to hold while he set it up. The sound wasn't working, so Brooke and I told Sammy to fix it! She kept saying that over and over, it was so stinking cute! Finally Sammy got the movie working and we started it. Brooke sat down a little bit and her eyes got all big. We'd ask her questions and she wouldn't answer. She likes her some Star Trek.

Her parents came to get her a few minutes later and were impressed that she was actually watching the movie, apparently that never happens. Then she told me about all her favorite  vegetables and headed up to bed, giving me a hug and a kiss.

Oh my goodness that sweet girl melted my heart! Her mom looks like Sammy, but her dad is a whitey like me, so Brooke is a mixed baby. So, that's what I can sort of expect my kids to look like, and oh my she was adorable. She was so sweet and loved me instantly. She didn't whine or complain or cry, when it was time for bed she was just like ok! I might just have to steal her... Just kidding. But it was especially awesome because I'm not that great with little kids, but she just loved me! And made me feel awesome because she wanted to hang out with me and not Sammy's dad hahaha ;) I really hope they move to Colorado, because if they do, that little girl is going to be my flower girl.

Fake

I feel like a lot of times when going through blogger, I'm always pushing the boundaries a bit. A lot of blogs seem to always be happy and awesome and they just won this free product from someone and it's great! And then, I'm over here in my little corner of the blogosphere wondering, hey, should I actually write about this? Is this something that you just pretend like it never happens? Am I the only one this happens to? My favorite moments are when I find someone cutting down those walls and sharing what life is actually like. That they have zits. That they don't have the perfect relationship and baby. That they've struggled with mental health. That they're secretly gross like me. (I took a quiz on buzz feed about how secretly gross are you, and I got pretty gross. In the guise of not being fake, I am sharing this fact with you all!) When I find those blog posts, I instantly feel a connection with that person and will automatically follow them on their life j...

Liebster-ing it up!

Funny story. A few days ago I was reading all the blogs I follow like I usually do. And of course I read  Jana's  blog and read about how she had won the Liebster award. I had no idea what it was, so I read her post full of fun facts, and for everyone I kept nodding my head going, I DO THAT TOO! Then today I re-read her blog, and realized that she'd nominated me for the Liebster award as well! It was a very exciting moment. Thank you! So I guess this is how it works, I think, I'm new to this whole thing. I totally just stole this off Jana's blog ;) "The Liebster Blog Award is given to bloggers by bloggers. It is a way to acknowledge each other and say 'you're doing a great job.' It is for blogs with 200 or less followers, so it's also a great way to spread the word about smaller blogs & get them more readers/ followers! When you receive the award, you post 11 random facts about yourself and answer 11 questions from the person who nominated y...

Christmas Lights

It’s funny having a baby and then trying to do things. I’ve noticed over the last year that I’ve gotten an I Can’t do that sort of attitude. We can’t do that because Aaron will cry and we’ll get cranky and so on. I’m really trying to work on that.  My anxiety out in public is much worse too. Now I have two people to protect not just myself. The library definitely changed how I look at places and I wish it hadn’t.  Sammy really wanted to go to a Christmas village downtown but I was too overwhelmed by all the logistics. So we compromised and went to one near us. It was so much fun! It was cold out but not too too bad. Aaron loves looking at the Christmas lights at our apartments, and he really loved these ones. It was so much more fun trying to look at these things through his eyes.  He was also fascinated by the mini Santa and Mrs. Clause at grandma’s house.  I’m so glad we went and can’t wait to go next year when he’s walking:)
