You know that feeling...?

You know that feeling you get when your little one has been out of sight and VERY quiet for a little while.  That thought of "what are they doing" and the initial heart-thumping feeling.  Well, Thing 2 has been giving me that feeling quite a bit lately.  And NO, for the child-police out there, I do not leave her alone.  She's merely in the next room, doing something, VERY, VERY quietly and discreetly.  For instance, just in the matter of these past two days I found this:

                                            this:

                               and this:

Yes, Thing 2 has grown and she thinks she can do it all just fine on her own.

An explanation to the pics above. 

#1:  Apparently she grew hungry for some sweets, and failing to ask for a treat, she then took it upon herself to try and gnaw the package open.

#2:  When supposed to be taking a nap, I found her secretly reading.  Which is a good thing though, so I shouldn't be complaining.

and #3:  It's so funny, because I constantly find her with markers that Thing 1 has left behind.  And this one was NOT washable.

I love my sweet, sweet girl.  And she can do NOTHING to ever change that love I feel for her.



How Do They Do That?!

Okay, so I know Busta Rhymes is silly crazy with his version, but this girl kills it!  In case you haven't seen it yet, this is Karmin doing her thing with Look At Me Now.

Lily Allen

Just wanted to post a little sumpin' sumpin'.  In case you haven't heard of this girl, she's worth taking a listen to.  Not only does she have a great sense of style, but she is quite the little songbird.  With a delicate voice, she not only delivers a sweet melodical sound, but also a sassy, edgy, and sometimes abrasive song.  Her British accent works beautifully in her favor, and as clever as she is with her lyrics, she by far surpasses her fellow poptarts and puts the majority of them to shame.  I have been a huge fan of hers for quite some time and I must say, Lily Allen is a true gift.

Take a listen...

(Oh, and by the way, try not to let Elton John's appearance ruin the moment.  There's a story as to why she has him in her video.  Just close your eyes and listen.)
