I can't believe my baby will be one on Sunday :( He's growing up too fast. I remember thinking how fun it would be when he sat up, rolled, over and crawled... now I'm not ready for him to walk. I don't feel like I've savored him being little like I should have. Guess we'll have to have another one so I can prepare myself... now only if we can convince daddy :)
Taylor learned a new song at Primary. He may need another week to get it all... but it was too cute to pass up recording him. He is so good at remembering things, lyrics, dance moves, etc. Jessica is in an "Up with Kids" class and Taylor, Tanner, and I were watching on Tuesday until Tanner got too restless for us not to be distracting, so we went out into the hall, where Taylor proceeded to do everything Jess had just learned in her class. He's our little class clown and I love that he's not afraid to be him!
I'm having quite the dilemma with Jessica lately. She still loves to play baby dolls and house with Taylor, which I love, yet I feel like I'm doing her a dis-service. When her cousins were over, they all knew every word to "Bleeding Love" and Jessica knew "keep, keep bleeding"--she kept singing that over and over:) She loves "Hanna Tanna", yet doesn't know any of her songs. Am I holding her back, not letting her grow up... since she doesn't know any of these things? Maybe I'm not a "cool" enough mom? Or will the time come when regardless of me she'll learn more than I want her to? Being a mom is definitely harder than you imagine when they put that sweet little munckin in your arms at the hospital :)

No way are you doing her a diservice by not teaching her the words to all of Hannah Montana's songs! Let her grow up at her own pace, enjoying the things she wants to do, not just the things 'everyone else' is doing. Now that she is in school she will definately have the chance to see all of the little trends kids her age get hooked on, you can't stop it - no need to push it on her, I say. You are doing an awesome job and you are definately a 'cool' mom! Just look at how many fun things you did for them at that sleepover? Most moms would be stuck after popcorn and a movie:) I know Savanna thought you were way cooler than me, so there's one vote!
Tell Tanner and Taylor that we are so very proud of their new skills!
Love you! - Sara xx
Rach, I know it is hard to judge. I have been going through that with Grace too. She still loves polly pockets and playing pretend things. The little girl I watch is quite different. She is very much into the fads. I agree with your sister-in-law, she'll figure things out at her own pace. It was a sad day for me when my older kids didn't want to listen to Tuppertunes anymore! We now rock out to Radio Disney. Every kid is different and has there favs. You are a GREAT mom! You are one person I totally admire! Don't ever feel insecure about that.
Your kids are so cute, I hope you can have another one. Just tell Phil Jess needs a sister. Taylor's song was way too cute. Tanner is so big! We need to go out on that girl's night out. Dust is gone till Sun. hunting. When he gets back! I will deserve it!
Rach, you're a wonderful mother and let's keep our kids "little" awhile longer :) Loved the story and about Taylor and Tanner!
sad that our babies are ONE... time for another one....
