Happy Mother's Day

I had a wonderful Mother's Day with my sweet family.  The girls gave me a lovely card and both made me a hand-print card at church.  My favorite part though was a well practiced "Happy Modder's Day, Mommy" from my Leyton, complete with a large huge and kiss.  In fact, she STILL tells me that several times a day.  She can be so sweet when she wants to be.  

Another great gift from my eldest is potty training.  She is doing awesome.  With peeing in the potty anyway.  As long as we ask her, she will go potty.  We have yet to brave an outing sans diaper, but soon I think we will be ready.  I owe a big thanks to Grammy and My Little Pony.  Grammy sent her some MLP panties, and she LOVES wearing them and keeping Apple Jack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Flutter Shy and Princess Celestia clean and dry (she doesn't have MLP Twilight panties).  So our only problem now is going #2.  

Leyton has also FINALLY started her speech therapy.  She goes to class on Monday and Friday and she really seems to enjoy it.  Her vocabulary and sentence structure continues to improve, however it is still her pronuncitation that needs some work.  

Ellis is days away from crawling.  Every day I watch her get closer and closer.  She will walk out onto her hands and knees and rock back and forth.  And then her big sister will be having a FIT as Ellis goes for all the 'off-limits' toys.  Although, to be fair, I have seen Leyton be really sweet to her sister lately.. not all the time.... or even most of the time.. but she has it in her.

Here is LC on a 'not-so-sweet' moment.  I tried fixing her hair in pig-tails because normally her hair is completely out of control.  She often looks like Albert Einstein. 

Ellis being her generally, though not always, sweet self

Big thanks for Gramma (Ga) and Grampa for the beautiful spring dresses.  Leyton's happened to match one that she wore around her first birthday... which of course fits our 8 month old perfectly now

They wore their matching dresses on Mother's Day.  Wouldn't trade these two for ANYTHING!
