my mom's neighbor's salt water pool

this is why Momma was NOT getting in today
trying to make Purnurple at home

Little Angel brought this crab back from her vacation with her grandparents on her mother's side. Not sure about that name. lol. So far she has been quite attentive to his needs but he is not a really needy pet.

I have been taking her swimming twice a week when I get off work and she goes with the day care on Fridays. She only has to go to day care until 2 if I pick her up or 12 if my mom gets her. So I think she has lucked out. I looked around for one that offered plenty of activites. She goes to the movies on Wednesday, either skating or bowling on Thursdays, and swimming on Fridays. They are always doing some sort of craft-which she loves.

Since she has been back she has been very clingy. She wants to spend lots of time and cuddles-which I love. Last night she actually said, 'I think I am going to go get a bath and go to bed." She really is a great kid. Bless her heart, this is the first time she has had a normal family. Up until now her life has been quite crazy and I think this normalcy is what she really craves. Lol. She also craves having sisters and brothers-which worries my mom because Little Angel talks about it all the time! She told the counseler the other day, "I won't have to go to daycare next summer!" "Why is that." "Because my Momma is going to have a baby!" I had told her, "Maybe when I have a baby I will have it in the summer so you can stay home with me." She takes things very literally! I mean, I am excited about expanding but I also think she needs plenty of time to be an only child because she has lacked the nurturing in the past.

She acts excited about when a new 7th Heaven arrives because that means cuddles. We read in her bed every night and she snuggles close. Wherever I go she is holding on to me. There is never a lack of hugs in our house!
