Orange juice and dishwasher

Libbi has started talking a ton lately! Here are a few Lib-isms from the last couple of days.
We were eating 'yunch' and she says 'where dis orange juice come from?' in a mad tone.. i said 'from the fridge, i got them for you' she says 'i don't yike orange juice!!!' and starts breaking the ORANGES (yes, for those paying attention, she's calling her orange, orange juice..) and THROWING them at me!!! REALLY GIRL!?!?!

Last night we were in the car and she just kept screaming.. "i want go to the dishwasher!!" i repeated, you want to go to the dishwasher? And she said "YA mama!" It wasn't until after she says "go that way" pointing that i realized what she meant. "O Lib, you mean the carwash" :)
After looking at her pictures posing in her saggy diaper i'd say its time for Libbi to go to the dishwasher! AKA BATH!!

Broken heart cookies

Libbi and her BFF Anna baked with me the other day! They had a blast! My favorite thing to do with my kids is BAKE! I love it :)

I found a broken heart cookie cutter at Target, how fitting!! I love/hate it :) But man they tasted yummy!!!

Love it

Gotta love it when the kids take the camera and have their own photo shoot!! I especially like the one that we can see right up her nose!! Thanks for the blackmail pic Libs, i appreciate it ;)

Reality

Ever had a photo shoot go like ours did? Its truth. It happens. More often than not i'm sure!!!

Dec 9 Appt!

Wow! I feel sheepish! I didn't post ANYTHING after our Appt on the 9th! Ok..now that i've had some time to settle, let me think and start from square 1. The phone call i posted about the day prior to the appt. I was totally prepping for surgery...like soon! Ok, so we go down on the 9th for a sedated echo and appt with Dr Menon. The echo looks good! Which is fabulous!! ... right... ?? I was a little overwhelmed with all this difference of opinion/mind changing business that went on. He said in the appt that she looked good so he'd prefer to wait til the sick season in over to do the Fontan. Great! I totally agree! ..but why the phone call the day prior? why worry me? what did he think the day before that changed that day? ... ok so we left with him saying, we'll see him the end of March for JUST AN APPT with him, from there we'll schedule a cath for April/May and do Fontan May/June. THEEEENNNNNNNN.... i get a phone call a couple weeks later. "Hi this is ... from the cath lab calling to schedule Libbis cath the first on March" Ok WHAAT? I'm so confused, i say 'Did Dr Menon order this?' She says yes he did. Ok so NOW her cath is on March 12. ... and that's all i know. I'm just going with the flow, cause it seems to change direction EVERY minute! Phew there is the update. As far as MOMS view, she is getting ready. Shes extremely moody and grumpy, won't sleep and says more than once a day 'mom i don't feel good' :( :( Breaks my heart. But she is ok. She is fine, noone else would even notice, but MOM does :)

Ok so i've been saying for a while that i really want an IPAD for when she has surgery. For her to play games on, for me to update blogs and fb, basically for entertainment for her (and me) in the hospital. Well my sweet family came over the night before her echo and gave Libbi this money tree for Christmas! How cute is that!?! They gave her money to go towards her Ipad, which we now have, and LOVE!

The sweets of the fam :)

This shirt was wrapped as the skirt for the tree. It says.. and though she be but little, she is fierce!

..and that she is! She recovered so well from her sedation! She wanted some 'atorade' and was set to go!

Sweet baby cakes. Love her!!
