I can't believe she will be one year old on Saturday. What a year it has been!

Mommy Seuss
She won't sleep.
She won't sleep at night, or during the day -- it doesn't matter at all what I do or what I say.
She screams and she jumps, she tosses about. She throws her bottle and pacifier out.
Her anger is real -- her face is so red! I don't know what to do...but she must go to bed!
I feel like a mommy who is bad and uncaring, but I can't take much more of this tantrum that's blaring.
She needs to sleep, and she needs to sleep long. I know this, I do, but it still feels so wrong.
I have no more tricks up the proverbial sleeve, and gas costs way too much to just up and leave.
I have sang, I have held, I have snuggled, I have rocked, and now I just sit and stare at the clock.
When will it stop? When will she rest? When will she lay her head in her nest?
These answers I have not, though a headache I do. So I'll just take more Excedrin and change some more poo.
And now that that's done (and she continues to wail), I seek a happy ending to this sad tale.
But my only solution (I can't tell a lie) is to let her stay in her bed and cry.
*sigh*

His first day of Kindergarten
Here's a mosaic of his first day...he was so calm, I was so anxious...he was so happy, I was so sentimental...
1. All ready to go -- his brand new backpack he designed himself on LL Bean and his "WILL" lunchbox (in LSU colors, of course, *sigh*)
2. Come on, Mommy! Let's GO!
3. He's so relaxed. He was totally calm, picked up a book that was in the backseat, started looking at it on the drive, no worries for him.
4. Welcome to Runnels, Will! Here is your cubby for your lunch and your snack...
5. And here is your locker for your backpack and other items. Look! It has your name on it!
6. We love you Will! Have a great day...
7. Cool, coloring. I'm all set!
8. Okay...he's at school, coloring, and has already talked to a few of the kids...guess it's time for us to leave now...and I have a Kindergartener.
Wow.

me
I took this today when I was laying around trying to get some good shots of Adelaide. Not entirely sure how I feel about it, except that it is me...

Having fun together
Daddy is on the computer. Will wants to be on the computer. Will sits on daddy's lap on the computer. Adelaide thinks she is as big as them. Adelaide likes to play with Will. Adelaide likes to play with Daddy. Adelaide decides to join them.
Fun ensues.
shoes you can use
Will wouldn't leave his shoes on...guess who won't take hers off? She looooooves her footwear. Seriously.

They had so much fun together in the splash pool
It was a great purchase. I even had fun -- yep, I put on a swimsuit and a coverup and went out and played in the water with them. (It is HOT here, okay?) We all had such a fun time -- Adelaide is just a fish, and Will was able to splish splash away without worrying that he'd knock over the baby -- it's only a splash pool, so if she fell on her butt, she just fell on her butt, no big deal. Anyway, it was just awesomely fun. lots of photos of it on flickr, but here are a few to sample...
I like water a lot
We bought a really cute splash pool on clearance at Target this week. (Summer clearance here is awesome because hello, you can use this thing like through November at least!) I thought it would be something that the kids could enjoy equally...and it was! They loved it. Here she is checking it out initially. More pics to come...
