Day 1 - Perfect day to start a Blog ;)

Well, of all days, this has to be the best story telling day to start a new blog.  So, today has been a perfect day to record Violet's many "milestones", if you will...
The day started off great!  Mark had to get going early in order to accomplish some errands before he went into work for the afternoon.  As he walked out the door at 7:45 this morning, I jumped out of bed to start my weekly laundry, take a shower and at least dry my hair all before getting Violet out of bed.  And yes, I did accomplish all of those things.  The last half of that time Violet had woken up but she played in her bed for probably 30 minutes before I went in to get her.  After I proceeded to get her out of bed, I thought I would be a good wife =) and make my husband breakfast before he went off to work.  We all had eggs, my homemade banana bread and grapes for breakfast!  Pretty healthy, I think!   Well to cut the rest of it short, Mark got out the door for work while I was getting ready to put Violet down for her late morning nap.  To my delightful surprise, my precious angel slept 3 1/2hrs!!!!!!!!!!!  WoW!!  Needless to say, I was able to get TONS OF THINGS done!
Let's fast-forward to "after naptime"...
2 funny yet typical baby moments happened today.  1 semi-funny, and the other crazy, can't believe this story happened at such an early age...
Story #1 - I was sitting here at the computer learning about being "coupon saavy" when all of a sudden I hear a soft "swish, swish, swish, swish..." sound coming from the back door.  I immediately identified what the sounds was.  So lo-and behold I was right...Violet had gotten ahold of the tissue box and had, ONE-BY-ONE, pulled out at least 20 tissues from our "cute, little" square tissue box.  Right away I jumped up and took it from her all the while thinking, "we can't waste even tissue, tissue is expense." Ok, so not really expensive but you know.  So back to the story...  I quickly picked up all the tissue and stuffed them back into the box as if to make a little hill out of the top.  (Side note: No I wasn't going to fold each one and neatly place them back in the box.  Who has time for that mess.)
That was my 1st story...
Now on to STORY #2  - Classic yet most disgusting child story.  I can finally record that today was the 1st time Violet has pooped in the bathtub.  I was just about to get her out when I looked away for 2 seconds only to look back and find "it" in the tub.  I totally freaked out.  Violet was just sitting there looking at it and about to grab it when I rushed to get some toliet paper and scoop it out of the tub.  Oh, can I say GROSS!  The whole time I'm thinking to myself,  "I can't believe this "story" has already happened.  I mean, doesn't this usually happen for the 1st time when a child is around the age of 2."  Well apparently not, haha!  Next time, I need to remember to put her on the potty before placing her in the tub.  She could have taken care of her business in the proper place, more than likely.  Oh, well!  Lesson learned!
All in all, its been a typical mommy day!  And I love it!!  Wouldn't change a thing about it!!
