Can't think...

I have been very lax with updating my blog. While I spend plenty of time on my laptop in the evening, I just can't get myself to focus on blogging about my day... or past week... or whatever. I think it might partly be due to my obsessive picture taking... I take so many pictures that I can never narrow my choices down to an amount that would be interesting. I tend to over-due things.

September has been a busy month for us. I'll really try to sit down one of the next few evenings and do some good updating. But for now, you get my Tee Hee's of E...

Eowyn had been raving about the 'princesses' in her ears ever since her well visit. I had told her doctor that she had been having issues with being afraid at her appointments, so she decided to throw in some fun things for Eowyn. As she checked Eowyn's ears, she says, "OH! I see Sleeping Beauty in this one! And Cinderella in this ear!" So, randomly Eowyn will go up to people and say thing like, "I have Sleeping Beauty in my ear!!" To which she gets raised eyebrows and "oh- that's nice"...

So.... last night, I am washing Eowyn up during bath time. I start cleaning her ears and she gets all upset... "MOMMY!!! Don't squish them!!!!" I laughed so hard I thought I would pee my pants. Apparently she was not impressed. She looked very hurt and didn't smile at all to my laughter. Thinking quickly, I explained to her that the princesses were NOT in her ears right then, and I had to clean out their homes... This seemed to ease the tension a bit and Eowyn allowed me to finish cleaning her ears.

Also, last night, Eowyn, Shayne and I were watching The Iron Giant. Shayne gets up at one point to get a drink and asks for my coaster. I have 4 coasters, so I tell him that there should be 2 on the end table by where he is sitting. No dice. I look at Eowyn and figure that 9 times out of 10, she has moved something... so I ask her.

Me: Eowyn, do you know where the coasters are?
E: Yup
Me: Eowyn, where are the coasters?
E: Over there
Me: Eowyn.... where is 'over there'?
E: (crickets chirping)
Me: Eowyn... are they in your toy basket?
E: No! They're OVER THERE!
Me: On the porch
E: Yeah...

(I probably should have paused the movie)

Anyways- so I go out on the porch and Eowyn had taken 3 of the coasters and set her baby pumpkins and gourd on them... It was pretty cute.

I'm looking forward to Thursday. I have the day off from work to attend Eowyn's Apple Orchard field trip at daycare. It should only be a morning sort of thing, so I think Shayne and I are going to see how Eowyn does at the movie theater. Shayne picked her up "Cloudy, With a Chance of Meatballs" for a new book and we will read that and explain to her that we will be going to see a movie about the book. I'm hoping that mid-day/early afternoon will be a slow time so we don't interrupt anyone's viewing of the movie... in the event that Eowyn doesn't behave. I'm hoping it goes well as she is normally very good when watching a movie for the first time.
