Darn it electronics... a little update

Right now I have the blogging itch again... finally! It seems I've been running like a chicken with my head cut off and now I'm finally settling into a productive groove and have some time to blog, but alas all of my electronics are not cooperating. My cell is being exchanged for one that will hopefully work, J sold my laptop and has yet to replace it, which is fine because I was using the iPad... but then the iPad's touch screen went out... ARGH. And our desktop has major issues, leaving me computer-less... Jarom is at the priesthood session of conference, so I have his laptop, but it lacks my photo software and all of my pictures. So... tomorrow I will convince J to load up his laptop with some software and I'm sure within a few weeks of me hogging his computer, I'll have a new one! ;)

But until then... Livy is becoming a regular chatterbox and as of today is trying to repeat everything I say. She's very interested in learning her body parts at nap time and will poke me in the eye a thousand times saying "hieyyyeee" and then if I ignore her she says it properly "eyyyyyeeee". She likes her "mose" (nose) and has her finger up it constantly since allergies struck her and she found the stream of snot amusing. She is very independent and won't allow me to do anything for her hardly now. She wants to walk instead of me carrying her, she feeds herself soup and cereal, and she wants to wash her own body in the tub... the last is where I draw the line... she's gonna be clean dang it after eating the soup by herself!!

Addie is my little momma and loves bossing sissy. She is learning to write and read and writes me notes all the time now! Most consist of just me, Livy, and Daddy's name with "I love" written before it and her name signed below it. But she recognizes words more readily now and I'm really going to have to get on the ball and work on her reading this summer. She also is VERY motivated by desserts... Dinner can be disgusting until I mention a dessert and she will shovel down the food to get it. Most of the time at least. Addie gets along with all the kids at school and she assures me now that she "isn't shy anymore" around most people... which is true. She is quickly coming out of her shell. Preschool has helped immensely. She has a group of little friends there that we play with almost daily after school and she is so happy to have her friends.

Well Livy is up from her late nap and is destroying the artwork on the walls in her room since I've been ignoring her to blog, so I guess I'd better so save the artwork and my child. :) Hopefully I'll have some pictures ready to post next time!
