Jillians funnies.

I didn't post anything on Sunday because we didn't really do anything. Chris said I was probably going to be in trouble with Grandma Juju, so I decided to write some of the funny things Jillian has said and done recently.
Every night I read to her after letting her decide which book she wants me to read. It is normally these little Sesame Street books that she got for her 2nd birthday from her Aunt Shelley, Uncle Rick & the girls. I tell her to pick which book she wants to read (there are I think 10-12 of them). The smart little girl picks up the book & actually says which book it is. She amazes me. Not only does she know the book by looking at it, she has most of them memorized. She pratically reads them herself. Maybe all 28 month olds know these things, but she just seems so smart to us. It is so cute to listen to her "read" the words of the books.
She saw her Halloween costume on Saturday and asked what it was. I told her it was her Halloween costume and she said "I no wear." She really doesn't want anything to do with Halloween. I can't imagine what will happen on Halloween. On Sunday, while I was getting ready, she kept telling her daddy "Wake up little missy." I have no idea where she heard that saying before cause I don't think we use that term.
We were on our way to the doctor on Monday for a head check and she said "I no see Dr. Bender." I told her it would just to check her head and that made her more sad and she just kept crying "I no want head checked." It was sad, but still cute. On our way to Danis to see baby Will on Monday I told her she was my punkin and she said "I Jillian." On our way home, she stuck her fingers in her ears and said "I listen." Which I think she was meaning to say "I'm not listening." It was very hard not to laugh.
Then last night, when I was reading to her, she was kind of wound up. I kept telling her it was time to go to bed and she needed to relax. She then proceeded to make me put my head down and relax. When I would try to lift my head, she would shove it down and say "Relax!" Tonight, while reading, we were on the "color" book. I asked what her favorite color was and she, honest to God, pulled out her shirt, looked down and said "I white." LMAO! She just cracks me up. I am going to have to record her when we go to bed because I think that is some of her funniest times.
Friday is her Halloween party at school and then we are going to a Halloween party at the Plainfield Aquatic Center on Saturday. I am not too sure about Trick or Treating yet. I think we are going to Franklin for a trip to the Holland grandparents. My mom will be in Illinois, so she won't be around. Boo hoo. I will try to take some pictures if she allows me to, but she is so fickle, who knows.

I love the picture below, so I decided I needed to post it. I find it quite funny.

Chris and I found Jillian this way the other night when we went to check on her.

On friday, Chris and I met up with Dani and PJ. It was their 4th wedding anniversary on Thursday so we went out to dinner to celebrate. Dani has been on bed rest for the past 3-4 weeks, so it was nice talking to her more than just text messaging. Her Dr. told her as long as she doesn't stand or walk alot, she is ok to do some things, so dinner was ok for her. The steak, wine & company were very good. Rhianna watched Jillian while we were at dinner so I drove her home. I sat at her house for about an hour or so and just talked. It was nice. We were alone & talked about all kinds of things. It is nice knowing that she can talk openly with me, at least I hope she knows she can always turn to me.
Saturday we went down to Brooke and Steve's for Dane's birthday party. We had a good time. I love hanging out with family. Jillian was a very good girl. Dane got some good gifts.

This morning, Jillian and I got up and made cookies.

We had a good time making them. Jillian liked eating the sprinkles more than she did actually sprinkling the cookies. Sprinkles were everywhere! But it was still fun making them and hanging out with her.
After we made cookies and Jillian took a short nap, Darcy & her family came & picked Jillian and I up and we headed over to Illinois. We went over to celebrate my grandmas 83rd birthday at her nursing home. My mom and Aunt Sally prepared a sundae bar, which was delicious. She had a great turn out, which isn't surprising because my grandma is well loved. It was nice seeing some family that I don't see very often. Jillian was again a very good girl. She strutted through the halls with such confidence. The elderly people just loved her. Here are some pictures from the day.

On the way home, Darcy got pulled over & Jillian kept asking about the policeman. She had learned all about the police at daycare when one came to visit. It was kinda cute. I thought she would fall asleep on the way home, but she didn't. She was very tired and kind of got clingy. She wanted me to put my head in her lap, so I layed down over the seat & did it. She kept playing with my earrings and hair. It was very sweet. She just seemed so loving.
So, needless to say,it was a very busy weekend, but a good one. I have no plans so far next weekend, but I am sure that will change.

Not much to post really. We didn't do much of anything all weekend. Jillian and I went to Walmart yesterday than after her nap her and I went down to Franklin to visit Bob & Lana. it was a nice visit. She doesn't get to see them often enough.
Then today, Chris, Jillian and I went to Flapjacks for breakfast. Then after Jillians nap, Ellen, Jillian and I went to a purse party at a previous co-workers of ours. I didn't buy a purse, but Jillian found a necklace that she liked and wouldn't take off. So, I ended up buying it for her, for $20 freaking bucks. It really isn't the most attractive necklace, but it has rocks on it. Two of her favorite things: rocks and necklaces. Then we came home and just did the normal Sunday thing: laundry, playing & cooking dinner. Pretty laid back weekend. Which I will look back at & enjoy because I think next weekend is going to be very busy.
I am going to the Covered Bridge Festival on Wednesday with Dana & Ellen. This is only my second time there, so we will see if I find anything I need to buy. Saturday, we are going to Danes birthday party and maybe doing something that evening. Sunday I am going over to my grandmas in the later afternoon to celebrate her birthday. She turnes 83 on Wednesday. Her party doesn't start til 4:00 their time, which is 5:00 our time. I'm sure Jillian and I will be exhausted on Monday. But I am sure coffee will help me out & nap time will help her.

Friday was Colts day at school today, so I went out & bought Jillian a Colts jersey. Her other Colts shirts were onsies & she was beginning to outgrow them & the jersey is so much cuter.

On Saturday, Chris, Jillian and I went to Anderson Orchard to pick out a pumpkin. Jillian didn't want to get down & walk so I could get a picture of her in front of all the pumpkins, so the one below is about the only one I could get of her.

When we got home from the orchard I was bringing her in the house to put her to bed. I took her to her room, sat down with her on her glider & she PUKED on me. Disgusting! Thankfully, Chris cleaned it all up because I don't know if I would have been able to clean it up. It was truly disgusting. And there was so much of it. After she did it, we sat in the chair in the living room for a few minutes, but after that, she ate spaghetti o's and acted as if nothing was wrong. She ran around and when we put her in her bed, she played & goofed off and didn't actually fall asleep until 3:40, Chris said. I had to take a nap because the night wasn't a good one when it comes to Jillian and sleeping. We were up off & on from midnight to 4:00 a.m. and then back up for good at 6:00 a.m. So, I had to take a nap or I was going to lose it. She was back up by 5:00 p.m. and I don't even know if she was asleep whenever I opened up her bedroom door. I decided the reason she got sick was because she drank apple juice that had expired (I know, bad mommy, guess that is why I got puked on) She was pretty cranky for awhile, but got alot better near the end of the night. As you can see with the picture below. She was playing with daddy.





Then today, we went to Bob Evans and Walmart. We dropped Chris off and went to help my mom empty out her car from moving back in to her house from my dads house. We ran over to Ellens after the Colts game so she could tack up some of Jillians jeans. She doesn't really like wearing pants, but she needs them for school.
Jillian today wearing her Colts jersey, minus her pants, but plus her socks & shoes.

The picture below is of her laying on the floor picking up her Memory cards before she could play with the microwave. Isn't she cute??
