Please Don't Leave

It's been an interesting week this week. 

While nothing monumental happened - there are some developmental stretches in our midst.

Moxie is mellow as ever...

Until she practices her crawling.

Whoa-nelly she gets mad.

But unlike Piper if you praise her and cheer her on she'll lift her head up and beam at you.

She's moving ... Backwards.

It's more a two footed plank yoga pose using both feet to scoot backwards.

No wonder she's mad.

That's a lot of work! 

Piper had her first play date where the friend was dropped off.

They had a ball!

But something is going on with her.

All week school drop offs were difficult. And when we tried to go to our dance/jujitsu night on Thur? Well... I made it out the door.

Josh did not.

Separation anxiety, which has caused some return of nighttime antics as well.

Tonight Josh tried to leave again and no go.

So we discussed how important it is that we all have our time. How she loves playing with Saoirse is the same as dance and jujitsu for Mom and Dad.

We're working on it.

She and I have a Mom/Piper date scheduled tomorrow.

I don't know if it's backlash from having to share us with her sister or some random 3 year old " thing"

But despite keeping close tabs on us - she's sweet as ever.

This afternoon when we found a run over snake in our driveway she said quick, Momma! Get some water please! We need to make him alive again!

Ummm....ya...

First lessons in death.
