Oh the life of a baby!

Jaylin relaxing Monday morning watching cartoons and waiting on me to get her ready for school. Doesn't she look comfy and cute?!?!

Fort Smith Lawn & Garden Show 2010

On Saturday, 27 March, 2010, Jaylin and I went to the Fort Smith Lawn & Garden Show. Jimmy and Carol met up with us there along with their neighbors. Jaylin had a ball! It was such a beautiful sunny day perfect for seeing great friends!

Entrance

This was a train Jaylin really liked--she wanted to grab it and rearrange the little village!


Playing with her snack of trix cereal--at least she was sharing!



For some reason there were several animals at the show--hmm I thought it was a lawn and garden show, not a what can eat your lawn or garden! Oh well, Jaylin got a big kick out of them:)

The answer to everything is CHOCOLATE!!

To help Jaylin understand that in so many days Daddy will be home, I have put 60+ hershey kisses in a candy bowl and each day Jaylin gets a chocolate kiss from Daddy until as the days go by he will be home to give her a kiss from him! Hopefully as she sees the amount of kisses going away it will help me reconfirm that he will be back home! At this point I just have a child that is addicted to the kisses and wants more than just one a day!! Wish me luck! Maybe I should have gone with the construction paper chain and took a link away for each day he is gone and until there is no chain left and he has returned...hmmm, it may be to late now!

What would I do without Jaylin's Daddydoll?!?

Why couldn't I think up the novel idea of "Daddy Doll"? This invention has helped Jaylin with the separation from her Daddy so much! The only problem is getting it away long enough to wash it. Due to the fact that Jaylin feeds Daddy doll and gives him drinks from her cups, etc. he gets dirty fast, but along with the ingenious idea of its creation it of course is machine washable--brillant!! I just have to keep remembering to take out the voice recorder that I came with it, in which James recorded a message for Jaylin on--so far so good!!

The are two images of James on her doll. On one side he is in his flight suit and on the other he is in desert BDU's. These are the pictures that I sent and then the compant cut around them and made the image in a printable version for the doll.
