brushing their teeth

Tonight I have to record this precious moment of time with my children.  Baby K is now 20 months old and wants to do EVERYTHING her big sis and bro do, no matter what.   Tonight baby K was in A's bathroom and A wanted to brush K's teeth.  I got the toothbrush ready and handed it off.  K let her do it for a minute and then she was done.  In the meantime, I got A's toothbrush ready for her to brush her own teeth.  A starts brushing her own and I look down to see K just moving her arm back and forth like she is really "brushing" her teeth like an adult.  It's the cutest thing ever.  It took me back to when B and A were the same way...they want to brush their own teeth so badly, but they just aren't really "brushing" them.  I'm having a bit of a mommy moment, when K takes the toothbrush out of her mouth, leans over (she's just standing in the middle of the bathroom floor) and proceeds to make a spitting sound.  She stands back upright and continues to brush away.  She brushes for a few seconds and repeats the faux "spitting" several more times.  I just crack up silently not to distract the cuteness that I am observing.  B comes in to check on his sisters and sees what I'm silently giggling about and he just starts laughing too.  Before you know it, the 4 of us are watching her "brush" her own teeth and "spit" on the floor (luckily there was never any spit that came out of her mouth).  She is just cracking up and continues to entertain us.  By the end, she is up on the counter (me holding her) and really practicing how to rinse and spit.
It's nights like tonight that make me so thankful to have been blessed with my three beautiful, healthy children that have brought so many wonderful gifts to the family.  Tonight was truly a gift of laughter that brought joy to us all from Baby K.  Makes me wonder what life will be like when she is no longer a toddler.  I do know one thing, this does NOT make we want to have a fourth child.  Just want to clear up any confusion.

I DID IT!

I feel so tech savvy about now.  I created my new blog, then exported and imported my old blog and it worked!  woo hoo.  See what happens when the herniated disc enables you to do anything active, I catch up on my internet stuff.

Now that I'm back up and into the blogging world, please don't set any high expectations for me.  I'll do what I can to keep this thing updated.

Much Love,
Jenny

what to do


well, here's my problem. i had an sbcglobal email when we lived in FW which i used to start my blog account. with our move to the country and no DSL service, i was going to lose my sbcglobal account for a few months. i thought since i had an iphone and love google and they work so well together, i'll go with a gmail account so it will work nicely together. then, i realized that the gmail and sbcglobal accounts don't get along. help! i can't link my blog to my gmail account. it just won't let me. i've even had the compulsive addict herself look into it and she can't figure it out. ugh.

why is this a drag?
well i no longer use the sbcglobal account so any email notifications for my blogger go to that account, can't change it. and if i am logged into google chrome or gmail and i go to my blog, it kicks me out of my google accounts. i have to keep logging in and out to get it all done. i need them all to work seamlessly. at this point, the only thing i know to do is end this blog and create brand new one with my gmail account. but, what do i do with this blog? delete it? no way! can i keep it open? anyone out there know?

with 4 snow days in a row, i thought i should check into this.....but we are having so much fun just lounging around!!
