ROCK CHALK!

After I picked Leah up from school today we went to the KU alumni bar for the first time. It was a big game tonight and Brian was working late, but I had really been wanting to go and they were selling t-shirts, so I brought along my good luck charm.

Everyone was super friendly. We sat with a dad, his five year old daughter, and his sister and brother-in-law. I hope we see them again (Saturday?). Leah had fun coloring with Sophie and yelling "Jayhawk!" every time someone walked in with a Jayhawk on their shirt/hat (so every time someone walked in).

She was such a trooper and watched a lot of the first half with me before Brian came to get her, even though it was pretty late. Apparently I have taught her well because when it came time for Brian to put her in bed she told him, "No go bed! Go Jayhawk!"

That's my girl ❤️💙

(He let her stay up... That's my guy 💙❤️)

ROCK CHALK JAYHAWK! GO KU!

Braid

Ever since I heard our baby was a girl I have been excited to play with her hair.

And I was a blessed with a baldy.

I waited TWENTY ONE MONTHS for hair and then, curls! Whaaaaaat?!? I love them- they are so Leah- but I really need Sara to come live with me so I can figure out what on earth to do with them. 

Anyways, Leah's hair is finally getting a bit longer and this morning she actually sat still enough for me to play a bit.

First braid ever! My best being-a-mom-of-a-little-girl moment yet!

Chapel

Leah's class did some story about a sheep in chapel (don't ask me what, I don't know)

Fun with Miss Cassidy

More sand!

Walking into school, definition of cool!

What She Said

Leah's recently started to point out every stop sign she sees. We have talked about its shape and color, and today, its letters. 

"L-E-A-H spells 'stop sign'!" she exclaims. 

She has also previously declared that "L-E-A-H spells 'me'," so we should probably work on that.

A few recent big girl moments, in pictures:

What She Said

Leah- "I fart out my mouth."
Me- "So, you burped?"
Leah- "Yeah, I burp out my mouth... Scuse me!"

Negotiator

It's not like Leah hasn't negotiated before, but today she took it to a whole new level.

"Leah, it's bath time."
"No Mommy, tomorrow."

Like, she's used "today" before, and maybe other concepts after I said it, but tonight she totally understood the completely abstract concept of another day. I mean, I was pretty proud since I see that skill on assessments all the time 😉 It's so cool how much more she understands every single day. She is constantly amazing me!

By the way, she got a bath tonight!

Waiting for gymnastics class to start... on Saturday

What She Said

This morning, when Brian was tickling Leah: "Don't tickle me. Just love me."

Because in this house we are ASU. We are KU.

"Wildcats" is a bad word.
