Vayda said what?

Welcome to the 3rd edition of: 

Setting the scene: 

I'm frantically getting things together in the kitchen so we can get out in the morning. 

Vayda: Moma! I had a dream I was in the hospital and they were going to cut my head off! 

Me: Oh no! 

Vayda: But then someone came to save me. 

Me: Was it Batman? (We watched the first Batman movie the night before)

Vayda: Nope! Guess again...

*I continued to go through all of the Batman characters, both good and bad...this went on for a while lol*

Vayda: It was the HULK!

Me: awww he's so nice

Vayda: But we even fell in love...

*I stopped..didn't what what to say*

Vayda: and we totally kissed! 

hahahahahaha! I could not stop laughing....

Vayda: then mother Gothel tied me up and wanted to cut off my hands! 

Oh geeze, only Vay would end it on that point lol.

partying over here today: 

My morning was hectic, as usual. It's a daily battle with Vayda in the morning to get her up and out of bed. Starting tomorrow I'm going to start some kind of reward system to get her going...rather than threats haha (any suggestions?). After finally getting both girls ready and out of the door I do my routine goodbye with Vayda at Nana Tula's house. It goes a little like this:

As I'm leaving...
Vayda: But wait! You forgot something!
*she starts to pretend to hand me a bunch of stuff*
Vayda: this and this and this
Nana Tula: Whoa that's a lot of stuff!
Me: Oh man, this is heavy! Ok I have to go, love you!
Vayda: Wait! I need to give you a kiss on the cheek but I have to think about it first...
*She pretends to think, then licks my cheek!*

Haha she thinks that's hilarious!! Oh how I love that spirit of hers! Not only did my daily goodbye routine with Vayda make my morning a little smoother, but Vic asked me if I wanted to get our Christmas tree tonight! Uhhhhh YES! haha. Ok, I'm a little obsessed with Christmas, but I'm not the only one, I have Vayda hooked too! I've been giddy all day, I can't wait to break out all of the decorations! Here a picture from last year, look at how much Vay has grown since then!

Vayda, tree hunting 2010

Anyway, can't wait for tonight! Tomorrow is the first, are you ready?!

A World of Her Own

“If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary-wise; what it is it wouldn't be, and what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?” – Alice in Wonderland

Vayda was sitting at the kitchen table and I was putting on her socks and shoes. This is how my Wednesday morning began:

Vayda: Momma, I have something for you!
Me: What is it Vay?
*She pretended to hand me something.
Vayda: Look, into the mirror.
Me: What’s in the mirror?
*I’m still waiting for my coffee to kick in so it took me a second…and then it clicked.
Me: Oh no! It’s my papa! He’s sick, I have to go…he may be dying?!
Vayda: Yes you can go.
*then she did a lap around the kitchen pretending to run to her papa.

Haha yes, we act out Beauty and the Beast in the morning!

Later that same morning when I was dropping her off at Nana’s I gave her the same speech I do every day, the “PLEASE go peepee and poopoo in the potty” speech. As soon as I finished she ran off to the potty and said she had to go peepee. I quickly said bye to Tula so she could go help Vayda out and so I could get off to work. As I turned around in the cul-de-sac and glanced back at the house I saw Vayda standing outside yelling something. I stopped, rolled down my window and heard her yell (mind you, across the street) “I went peepee in the potty momma! Have a good day, say hi to Maleficent!”. Hahaha. I yelled back "Yaaay, great job baby!". Those lucky neighbors got a great wakeup call!

Never a dull moment with my VaydaCakes.

little warrior.

So um, this kid is pretty rad. At 6:45am I’m putting Lori in the car and Vayda says, “Momma can you hold my monkey juice?”. For those of you that don’t know, monkey juice is aka the Danimals yogurt smoothies. So of course I said sure, “but why Vay?” I didn’t get an answer, I just turned around to see this….

She got her bow and arrow out to shoot “the mean cat” lol! We call this stray cat the mean cat because he really is mean! He will hiss as you get close. Way to go VaydaCakes…protector from the mean cat. Good morning!
