The Mommarazzi: Hot Coffee, Extra Cream, One Equal

Ever wonder if your 3 year old hears every little word you say? Let me tell you, they do. Tonight Joe and Laina were playing with baby dolls. Laina told Joe that her baby doll drinks "hot coffee, with extra cream and one equal". Well that would be EXACTLY what I order at Dunkin' Donuts drive through. It is so funny to me that she has completely retained my coffee order in her little brain.

In case you were also wondering whether there was a full moon, the answer to that is yes as well. How do I know this? Because it has dramatically changed the temperament of my sweet little girl. For the past two days my daughter has been under the spell of this full moon and I'll be happy when it passes along. Today Laina had dance class and I was sitting in the waiting area with all the other moms and 3 of them all commented on how their sweet little girls were also under the spell of the full moon. Here's hoping tomorrow brings a less challenging little Laina.

We had a fun weekend - busy but fun! On Saturday morning we went to the corn maze. You walk through this large maze cut into stalks of corn. After the corn maze, you can take a hayride down to the pumpkin patch and pick your own pumpkins. They also have a small petting zoo, rides and a playground. Laina had a great time. She thought the corn maze was cool but when it started taking us a while to get through it, she wanted to be picked up and so we cut that activity short.

After the corn maze we drove over to an apple orchard and went apple picking. We snagged some yummy apples which we've been eating all week. Laina enjoyed the wagon ride through the orchard, courtesy of Joe. She loved plucking apples off the trees and was great about gently placing them in the bag. Her all time favorite part though was the warm apple cider doughnuts at the end! Yum!

On Sunday, we drove down to MA for Baby Emily's baptism. I am honored to be Emily's godmother. It was a lovely ceremony followed by a fun SPG gathering. Laina ran and ran and ran all afternoon and after no nap for two days she was EXHAUSTED! She still can't pronounce Emily's name and still calls her "baby Enemy". She also called the priest "the police". Kids are cute, huh.
