Stop and Smell the Roses

This is just a simple reminder to stop and smell the roses. 
Eli did this at about the same age at the following link:
Roses!

Nae Nae Came to Town!

Nae Nae came to visit for a common relative's wedding.  She enjoyed her time with them as the visit was long over due.  She brought gifts with her as seen in the picture below.  Riley got a tea set that was pink and had the Princess Aurora and Eli got, you guessed it, Legos.  They had a great time with her and she was really patient with Eli as they sat down together and built the Legos.  I feel like this is a treat, since she wouldn't even do that with her own kids.

Riley's Wardrobe

Riley has been growing more and more persistent when it comes to getting dressed. She wants to choose her own clothes and sometimes she will get dressed over clothes already on. Yesterday, she was wearing a purple skirt and she wanted to change into a butterfly skirt. Daddy helped her change and she was upset. Daddy told her she could have one or the other. While Daddy left, she put both on, only she couldn't get the purple one over her diaper. She showed Daddy that she could wear both. She did wear both skirts all day' even though it was in the triple digits. As a parent, you have to pick your battles.
