I love this Quote
So much that I think I've shared it a couple of times on my Facebook page.. but it's so true.. at least for me.

The List... Do you have one?
Not exactly a bucket list... but I have a list somewhere around here that Lee and I made years ago.. It has all sorts of things on it. Things that we wanted to do at some point.. obviously we didn't get to do much of it.. When I next see it I might see if there are things on it that I still want to do or take the girls to do with me.
I also have another list.. it's a sentimental one so feel free to hit the back button to avoid it.. I won't be upset.
This list has the things that I miss about Lee after I read an article in the back of the Boston Sunday Globe Magazine yesterday while eating my lunch about Valentine traditions (or something like that).. This list is filled with inane stuff like
how Lee would kiss the back of my neck and how much I loved it and how I would cry out that I was unbalanced (he'd kiss one side and then after I complained he'd kiss the opposite side).
It also has the term Bedpiggy on it since one of us would somehow take over the entire bed and the other person would call the bed hoarder a Bedpiggy.
Impromptu trips that he'd throw together for us.. I think the last one took us to Revere Beach after midnight in March (or was it February) while I was pregnant with the girls.
The year that for Valentine's Day Lee made me pink milkshakes.. not a strawberry milkshake but a vanilla milkshake with red food coloring to make it pink.
That he remembered how important the dates of February 14th and February 23rd are to me and that he would celebrate both with me every year ( we kissed on the 14th and started to seriously date on the 23rd).
That he could make me laugh all the time. Seriously all he had to do was look at me and point his finger at me and I would burst into a fit of laughter. Not sure how he ever did that..
It truly was the little things that made our relationship special. I doubt that I could ever find anyone else that would care enough to do all these things (and more that I'm sure I'll remember later) for and with me and not complain (too much).

Baby steps of Progress
Not sure how or why but somehow a switch got flipped this week with Lily.. it happened on Tuesday... I took her to daycare as usual and when I got home from work, she had transformed from a Baby who wears Diapers into a Big Girl who wears Panties.. cause I got flashed by Miss Lily and her underpants.. since Tuesday night she's been wearing panties during the daytime (and using the Potty) and Night diapers at Night (she hasn't exactly mastered the staying dry during the night yet). We've been doing so much celebrating when Lily makes it to the potty in time and reminding her that accidents happen when she forgets or doesn't make it in time.

Stalled
Feeling stalled lately... here at the blog especially... one thing that hasn't been stalled much lately is time. It's February already... In just over 3 months my babies are going to be Four Years Old (or as Anna likes to tell me 100).
Speaking of the passage of time.. I came across 2 pictures from the girls' first day at EI back in July 2010.. and a picture from their last day in May 2011 and to me they look like babies compared to now...
Anna: July 2010 First Day of EI
Lily: July 2010 First Day of EI
Anna and Lily : May 2011 (last day of EI) with 2 of their teachers.
I also feel a little stalled with Lily's progress on the Potty.. she's not trained yet.. She will use it but just prefers wearing her PullUps. I know that she'll eventually get there and do it on her own terms (like everything else she does) and won't be attending Kindergarten wearing PullUps still, but somedays I highly doubt that she will ever be Potty Trained. I need to figure out her currency (perhaps a new doll accessory or Calico Critter) and then she will hopefully train in order to get it.
