Boys vs. Girls

What is it with girls and boys clothes? I think my sister-in-law has mentioned something about them before as well. I have to buy Kaycee's clothes in the big girls section. She is up to 7/8s in girls clothes but today she wore 24 months in boys.

We went to K-mart last weekend in Lewiston and they had a huge clearance on kids clothes. I bought two little outfits for Kayden for next summer that were 24 months. I thought, "if he is wearing 12 months now he will defiantly be in 24 months by summer." Anyway, she found them today and asked if they were for her. I laughed and said "no, they are for brother. They won't fit you." She put them up to her and it surprised me so I let her put them on to see. They fit pretty good. I need to just start buying her little boy clothes.

Mom. I need you!

I was up really late doing homework. Then my contact got stuck in my eye and I was up even longer trying to get it out. It got stuck behind my eye. Anyway, so the next morning (Friday) I was exhausted and the kids decided to wake up at 6:45AM. I had only been asleep for about 3 hours. I couldn't keep my eyes open so I made sure they were fed and happy and laid down next to them on the bed and fell asleep while they watched cartoons. Thankfully Kayden eventually took a nap too but once Kaycee is up, she is up and it is hard to get her to go back to sleep. I would wake up every 5 minutes or so to check on her. Finally I was out for about 20 minutes and I heard, "mommy, I need you." I kind of grumbled, "what do you need?" She didn't say anything and I was out again. This time I was out about five minutes and I hear her sniffing her nose really hard and then came, "mom, I need you. I can't smell." I figured she had a stuffy nose and woke up to help her. WELL, as I got up and looked at the bed I saw torn up tissue paper. I thought "okay, she tried to blow her nose and was shredding paper." NOPE. She stuffed it up her nose. I looked inside and saw a big wad of white. I took her to the bathroom, grabbed the tweezers and got situated for a long procedure of retracting tissue from her little nose. I had her blow her nose to try to get it down and it was bleeding but there was progress so I just had her keep blowing and a huge wad of tissue came out. She jumped for joy, "Mommy, I can smell. Oh thank you mommy. Your so nice for helping me to smell again. I wont do it again."

She said that she was trying to get out the boogers. Silly little girl. The funniest part was that I was reading Bekie's blog the other day and thinking "I am so glad that Kaycee hasn't tried anything like that because I wouldn't know what to do." Well, she did it. I need to remember not to think things because they always end up happening.
