Bye Bye Baby

I can't believe that Jaycie, our youngest, is going to be 4 in just a few days! She is all that reminds me of anything baby. Sometimes I hold her and think "She's only going to get bigger...and momma is done having babies!" Her being my last baby is sad to think about sometimes, but I feel that my friends and family might find me in the loony bin if I suddenly found out number 3 was on the way. No kidding...I would be slightly more than panicked.
When I take Jayce to school now she runs off ahead of me to her classroom...so independent - not relying on mommy to hold her hand anymore. Her teacher at school always does creative things with her class and this week they are celebrating Dr. Seuss's birthday. Yesterday she took Dr. Seuss books to class, today she dressed liked a cat (seen above) and tomorrow is wacky day. Tonight we picked out her outfit for that as it is much easier this way. Jaycie likes to be difficult when I have little to no time to deal with it, so if I saved it for the morning, she would argue with me about every last thing. She is our stubborn child.

Although she is getting older, there are still things she says and does that are so stinkin' cute. Tonight in the car on our way back from the grocery store the girls started to pick at one another, so I decided it was time for a distraction. We played guessing games about colors and movies, etc.

Then Jaycie says, "Let's play I spy a little eye!"
This instantly puts a smile on my face as we all know that it is "I spy with my little eye..."
As we are driving down the road and Tay and I have explained several times that she needs to choose something that we can actually see, Jaycie says "I spy a little eye... something purple."
And of course there is absolutely nothing purple in sight. :)
