Last night, I picked up Eowyn from daycare and was informed that she was completely out of Pull-Ups. Sigh... It's possible that they told James that she was almost out when he picked her up on Friday, but more often than not, I am told when she is out... so I then have to either bring in a partial pack from home, or directly go shopping...
Eowyn and I zipped home and ate a quick dinner of hotdogs... I was actually planning to make something more home cooked... but didn't have the time. I basically have a 2-3 hour window to get everything done with her when I get home... this includes making dinner, eating dinner, tubby and then chill out time.
After dinner, I informed Eowyn that we would be going shoPPing :) We got ready and went to the Super Wal*Mart in Brewer. While there, I realized that I had to pick up a few dinner items and a few things for the Mad Hatter Mother's Day Tea Party on Sunday. I also found Eowyn a cute pair of shoes to go with her new dress.
We ended up bumping into my sister, Emily, and her husband (Matt) and daughter (Kassidy). The whole trip ended up going well. Eowyn agreed to sit in the seat part of the cart (I did have to bribe her with a piece of gum) and basically was unusually well behaved.
Here's a picture of her with her new shoes and dress:
My mom's birthday was on the 3rd, but she is on vacation and won't be returning until Saturday. Thoma had done a pencil drawing of one of Eowyn's adorable groups of angel pictures (she was 6 months old and I put some angel wings on her and snapped away on Valentine's day). I can never thing of anything to get for my mom... she's one of those people that has everything that they need, so it's always hard for me to find the right present for her... something that she'll use or appreciate... not just gather dust in a closet somewhere... So this year, I had a few copies of Thoma's drawing made up and put one in a neat frame that I found (I got the same one for me too... Lol).
I think it came out pretty well:
When Eowyn and I got home from shopping, she wanted to go out and play in her sandbox. I was able to talk her into opening the porch door for me while I brought in the groceries. The first pass went well and she was all excited to open the door and 'help' me. The second (and final) trip seemed to be going well... until I got to the bottom of the steps. I looked up and saw my little munchkin crying and in pain. She had closed her thumb in the door while she was waiting for me to get back! I quickly opened the door to release her thumb. I put down the load of groceries and scooped her up and gave her a kiss. She was very upset and said, "The door pinched my thumb!!!!" I brushed her hair out of her face and the tears off her cheeks and told her how she was being such a good girl helping me. Then I kissed her thumb and asked her if she was okay. "Yeah"... and she took off. Lol. My kid's so bad-ass. There was no broken skin or nail, so I wasn't too worried, but I still felt really bad.
After the groceries were put away, Eowyn had her tubby and then we sat on my bed and read her new book for a little while. Around 8:15pm, I told her that it was time for her to go in her own bed and I would check on her after I was done with the dishes, etc. She didn't struggle or fight... !!!!? I did have to allow her to have her book in bed... which was just propped up next to the guard rail, but she was asleep when I checked on her 15 minutes later.
I'm wondering if the terrible twos are almost over...? Will I really have my adorable little girl back? Someone needs to kick that terrible twos monster in the butt. He's a jerk.
