Caroline at the Fountain

We have been trying to get this video up of Caroline playing in the fountain during Nana and Papa's visit, but it wasn't posting correctly. It finally worked!

Caroline is really into dancing right now. She gets her moves from her Daddy! Here is some video of her practicing her moves! Watch out John Travolta and Jennifer Grey!

Dave and Jill's Visit

This weekend our good friends Dave and Jill came to visit from Virginia. Brett and Dave have been friends since college. We haven't all been together since their wedding last July! They also hadn't seen Caroline since she was 3 months old when we moved from Virginia. Caroline was very excited to have more visitors in the house this weekend and I think she is starting to get the idea that when visitors arrive without additional children in tow, it means a lot more attention for her!
Even though the weather did not cooperate this weekend, we still had a great time. Jill and Dave brought Caroline a bubble machine that she loved. She was so excited when Jill showed her how to use it, that she tried to fill it up on her own and actually ended up taking a "bubble bath"! I think Jill and Dave will be happy to be home and not have to play with bubbles anytime soon.
Caroline is also figuring out that when Mommy or Daddy says, "No!" and there are other visitors in the house that she can run to the visitors and bury her head in their laps and cry, hoping that she will be saved! It didn't really work for her though, although she never gave up trying to get Dave and Jill (mostly Jill) to give her what she wanted! Don't get me wrong; she definitely had a great time getting spoiled and convincing Dave to pick her up at every turn. She actually had such a great time with "Uncle Dave" and "Aunt Jill" that she was absolutely hysterical when we dropped them off at the airport this morning. She kept calling for them saying, "My Dave! My Jill!". I would say then that they definitely won her over and we can't wait to have them back.

Worker's Comp.

I went to the Dr.'s this morning and I got the all clear. My little angel did not break my nose, instead she may have just temporarily damaged the cartilidge and it will heal itself. So that was good news! After the Dr.'s we went to the store with an especially cranky Caroline that kept crying to get out of her stroller. Just as I was about to pay the cashier, Caroline leans forward from her stroller and chomped down on the back of my leg!! I swear, what has gotten into this child?? I quickly grabbed her out of the stroller, in the middle of paying, held her up to me at eye level, and told her that "WE" do not bite! I put her right back in her stroller (as she is laughing), finished paying and went right to the car. Halfway to the car, she started spitting on her stroller and when I ignored it and put her in her carseat, she spit on me and started laughing again! At that point she was promptly taken out of her carseat, placed on the ground and had her bottom swatted for the first time. She looked at me with huge eyes and said "I sorry Mommy. No bite. No spit." Now I'm going to find myself on the 6 o'clock news b/c of some hidden camera in the Kohl's parking lot! What a morning! I told Brett I wanted to know who to contact for Worker's Comp. this week!

History Repeats Itself

Yesterday Becca came over with Brady and "Baby Cate" (as Caroline calls her) for coffee and a playdate. Caroline just adores Brady who is 3 1/2. She follows him all over the house and immitates every thing that he does. He is so sweet with her and so patient that they actually play really well together. Right before Becca was about to leave, Caroline was sitting on my lap and kept asking me to turn on the TV for her. I told her that I wouldn't turn it on then and she was NOT happy. She planted her feet down on the couch on front of me and threw her head backwards as she started crying, smacking her head right into the bridge of my nose! Becca couldn't believe the sound it made and I was pretty sure right away that it was broken. It didn't seem to bother Caroline at all. As a matter of fact, I don't even think that she noticed. She was still mad that I wouldn't turn on the TV! Anyway, I have a Dr.'s appt. this morning for it to get checked out, so I'll keep you all posted. Funny how history repeats itself. When I was six, I told my mom to hold my hands hands while I somersaulted over and my foot hit her in the nose and broke it!
