As of just before 6am this morning Dotty "officially" became a Big Sister!
Dylann Marie was born weighing 5 pounds 14 ounces.
I hear Mom, Dad, Dylann, and Dotty are all doing well. (Dotty's main concern when they got the call early this morning to come over to the hospital was whether or not Nana was going to make her take a bath...funny girl!)
Thanks to Nana for all the updates.
I wish all the best to everyone! The fun has just begun!!!

Big Sister Day...
Since yesterday was Father's Day and last month was Mother's Day and Dotty knows their is a Grandparents Day...
Dotty asked me, "When is Big Sister Day?"
I told her we would have to make it an official day sometime after Baby Dylann arrives...that way Dylann can help Dotty celebrate.
Dotty is now planning the event that might outdo any Presidential Inauguration Ball!
So far I have been told there will be balloons, ponies, lots of tiaras and lots of pink and purple, flowers, dresses, and perhaps a real princess would attend.
Does anyone know what Kate and William have planned in July??? Dotty would like to offer them the first right of refusal.

Dotty Does Not Have a Future with the CIA...
Yesterday when I took Dotty to Tony we had a little Father's Day gift that Dotty was supposed to give to him on Sunday. As I handed Dotty the bag to take with her she took the gift sack and then turned to Tony and said...
"Daddy we got you a shirt for Father's Day."
I guess when you are three (going on four) years old the fact that she waited a whole half a second before spilling the beans is a major accomplishment!
I don't know what Dotty will be when she grows up but I have a feeling CIA agent is not a good career choice for her right now.

Today Was Not Water Day...
Today Dotty was in no mood to get dressed, to brush her teeth, to eat breakfast, to go to school...
In her own words..."I don't want to do NOTHING!"
Since her daddy used to teach English, I am sure the use of a double negative will have to be addressed at a later time.
I did not have time for such things this morning.
When Dotty finally got in her carseat to go to school she said, "I wish everyday was water day."
Amen!!!

Wish Every Day was Water Day!
Today was "water day" at Dotty's school. It is so easy to get Dotty up and dressed for school on water day!
I wish every day was water day!!!
Of course after 10 minutes of watching the teachers get sprayed by water guns, hugged by wet children, and listening to all the squeals, screams, and yelling...I am sure the teachers at school do not wish every day was water day.

Skinny Cats...
When I help Dotty take off her shirt or dress to change clothes or to get in the bath tub I always say "skin a cat".
I don't know why I have always said this. I am sure it was said to me a million times as a child and I bring it up because of my own youth. But who really knows why we do the things that we do???
So last night as I was getting Dotty ready for the tub I said "skin a cat" when I pulled her dress up over her head.
Dotty looked at me and with all seriousness said, "Momma...why do you always say that? Are there no skinny dogs?"
I laughed so hard I had to sit down...good thing the toilet was handy...bad thing was the seat was up because...well I have a 3 year old so who knows why the seat was up?! I am sure when I notice something is missing it will be clearer to me.

Techno Kid
Yesterday when I picked up Dotty from Tony in Decatur, Tony told me Dotty had not had a nap that day. I was worried she would fall asleep on the car ride home and then stay up late that night.
My worries were short lived.
The minute Dotty got in the car she took my Galaxy Tab and started playing her games. She also had her DVD player going with her Barbie DVD.
At one point she had the Tab sitting on top of the DVD player and she was in no mood to talk to me. She was multitasking!
I was interrupting her techno time! How dare I try to talk to my child that I had not seen in two days?!?!
Needless to say, Dotty was happily entertained the entire way home...no time for sleep!
What did kids do before all these tech gadgets came along? Oh yeah...we sang terrible songs and annoyed our siblings...or at least that is what Jake and I did! My poor mother!!!
