and BTW

ya, I just wrote BTW... I'm hip and with it ;)

Tallulah=potty trained, and in undies at night, so far.

and pooing, finally...after all the poo issues and having to put medicine in her buns, she is going poo on the potty.

and NO Buzoole!
She traded it in for a "primpress" (a Belle doll). and doing awesome!

and we went to Cinderella Ballet.
She loved it. the dancing and the tutus and the "daddy" that danced with Cinderella, that he is a prince and she a primpress.

and now the only movie we have been watching is Cinderella...and I don't mind at all.

Jesus, I'm Tula...

Jesus loves me this I know... right, you know the words. Well I have been purposing at teaching Tallulah, not only life and education stuff, but about the BEST stuff, Jesus and His word. I sang/said the words to that song so that she would HEAR the words and what I was saying, and she would tell me "Jesus loves me?" me: yes. T"why?" me:because he saved you. T"how do you know?" me: the bible tells me so. T"Oh! Jesus LOVES ME?!" yep, child, he does, even more than me.
The sweetest moment with my T recently was when we read to her and pray with her at bedtime. She tries to buy time and asks us to pray again, and well I said to her "YOU pray, hunny." and T said that she didn't know how and "I can't mom" (her new thing). I told her I would teach her...and we began. Now every night after I pray with her, she prays. Ah. tears every time. "Um Jesus. I'm Tula. Jesus loves me. and mommy, and daddy, and Phia. I thank you for my bunnies, my two bird houses, my funny guy, and the other one. and my one, two, three, one, two, one two, three and one baby one....snow globes (there are 7 but she gets stuck and doesn't like it when you interrupt). Jesus, my fingers, my owl blanket, my clothes,Phia's crib, my bed, my mommy, and daddy, Grandma Rose (which is newly added), uncle joe, grandma, nonni, papa....(everyone she can think of). and Jesus loves me. and God, AMEN."

What an awesome gift! Thank you JESUS for this darling child you bless me with. I adore her.

and the Phia. What a cute plump little ray of sun. I can set her down with a BOX of toys and she will sit there while I try to get some things done. She is at such a fun stage right now. and had NINE teeth! all eight fronts and half a molar! Poor thing. Growing so fast and I am just treading water...you wouldn't think I had done this before.


and Logan and I are doing so much better. not the it was "bad", but it wasn't awesome. GOd has been good. I feel like certain things have made a difference, like: being in the word, accountability, prayer, purposing at loving him, actually CARING about him, realizing that there are more needs than just MINE. I am thankful for him. He IS a dreamboat, because he was made for me.

I don't know about the future, but I am surviving right now, for He is my strength and my portion.
