Don't say it Mommy...

I haven't blogged in so long. Things just got to crazy after London. I found out I was pregnant in August. We sold our house and moved to Denver in October. Were living with Zack's parents until we finally bought and closed on our house in Highlands Ranch in November. I am having a boy. I have 6 1/2 weeks to go and can't wait. I'm ready to have my body back!

For anyone that doesn't know, Natalie is a book worm. She loves to read her books before naps and bedtime. Whenever I can't find her, its generally because she is in a room quietly flipping through and stacking books. When asked on any typical day what she would like to do, 80% of the time she says "Go to Barnes & Noble". This may be part my fault considering from the time she was 8 months old we have frequented them on a weekly basis.

Recently story time before bed has turned a bit sour. She is insisting on reading the books to me (even though she can't read) and turning the pages. Sometimes its cute, except when she looks at pages and sits there because she can't remember what that page is about. If I start to say something she stops, closes the book and tells me "Mommy don't say it, don't say that" and then keeps repeating it. She also likes to con me in to 10 stories and if I say no, she throws a fit. Usually she asks during the middle of another story so I can't finish until I give in.

Tonight I videotaped her reading Snow White. The princess stories are definitely the easiest ones to get through as she knows them so well.






Here is another of her reading me the classic Goodnight Moon.
