I'm not bad!

I don't think I ever mentioned this before but when the girls first started talking in sentences Sydney's most used phrase was "I'm not bad!" I don't really think I said she was "bad" or being bad but a few times but she just picked up on it. So it got to the point that she would just say "I'm not bad" as soon as you started scolding her even if you didn't say bad. Because she was saying this so often I really made an effort not to say "bad" so I started saying "That's not appropriate" when they did anything wrong. So as you can imagine, with 2 girls who are 2 1/2 I say "that's not appropriate" quite a bit. The other night we were over at a friends house hanging out and Joey was teasing the girls and Savannah told him "That's not appropriate". It was hilarious! Out of the mouths of babes.

My Babies Started Mom's Day Out

Tuesday my girls started a mom's day out program. That means they go to a day care twice a week for 4 or 5 hours. I wasn't really worried about it. I am not the type to be all sentimental and gushy but I have to say I got a funny little tickle in the pit of my stomach when I left them. They were a little nervous and hanging on my legs when we first went in the classroom, but they were just serving the morning snack so I sat them down at a table and as soon as the apple juice was in front of them they were fine. They didn't even cry when I left which both relieved me and disappointed me in a strange way. The house was so quiet that it made me nervous, I never used to care about that. It was really nice to run errands and get some stuff done at home in a timely manner though.
