Good Things To Remember

People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel!
"No one can make you feel inferior without your consent. You have to agree that you are 'less' and that someone else is 'more' to feel inferior. If you don't agree, you cannot possibly feel inferior. You might know something less, or you might be able to do something less, but you ARE unique and hence simply incomparable.... Do not buy into being reduced to an object of comparison."

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brillant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." Marianne Williamson

May 13th- May 19th 2012

Happy 3rd Birthday Princess Kailee!
Kailee's birthday was on Sunday along with Mothers Day! 
How exciting to share a special day with her.
I can't believe my girl is 3 already. She is so fun and loving. She is so smart and learns something new every single day. Sometimes I have to remind myself that she is only 3. To me she seems to act older than she is. Right now she is all about Rapunzel. She watches that movie a lot. She loves to wear her poofy skirt and dance, sing and twirl. She is all girl right now.
She was a lucky girl and got a regular outfit (a shirt and skirt), a birthday shirt, princess skirt and jewelry, the Rapunzel Soundtrack, and of course, a Rapunzel dress. She was in heaven!



For church I had her wear her birthday shirt and her favorite poofy skirt.

After church we showed her the trampoline. We carried her outside with her eyes covered and sat her on it. She was really excited when she opened her eyes and saw it.

The nursery leaders had the girls make a really cute hand cut out with a poem that said...This is the hand that you use to hold when I was only 3 years old. Happy Mothers Day 2012 Love Kailee. I loved it. What a perfect gift. It even brought tears to my eyes. They tried to have Ellie make one too, but she wouldn't let them trace her hand.


After church Ryan had a cherry tree and some flowers set out for me for Mothers Day.

Grandma Colleen came up to celebrate with Kailee. She gave her a pink scooter that lights up and plays music. Kailee was very excited about that too! 

Kailee also had a visit from Grandma Carla and Aunt Steph and family. They gave her bubbles, a disc gun, and lots and lots of dance tights. The girls were excited to be able to play with their cousins for a little bit and share the trampoline with them!

Happy Birthday Kailee and Happy Mothers Day to me! What a special fun-filled day for us both!

After dinner and a bath we had an ice cream cake for Kailee. Of course, it was a Rapunzel cake!



Kailee's last day of PlaySchool was on Wednesday. Definitely a bittersweet day. I am so glad that we participated so she would have that time with her friends and to get out of the house, but I am so glad that I will not have to be in charge of it once every other month. I only had to do it 3 times, but that was for sure enough for me. 
For the last day they had a swim party at the Parkinsons. They had the sprinklers on and ate popsicles. Ellie and I stayed there the whole time. I visited with two of the other moms and Ellie went back and forth from playing with Kailee to sitting on my lap.

Kailee had a dance recital rehearsal Friday evening at the Layton Conference Center and that was quite the experience. She acted so shy and didn't want to sit with her class. I was finally able to get her playing and running around with her friends, but she wouldn't let me leave her. I ended up staying in the dressing room with her until it was time for her to wait in line to go on stage. When her class got on the stage and the music started she went to the corner of the stage and yelled for me. 
At that moment I was definitely nervous for the actual recital!


Saturday was the Dance Concert. Before we left the house Ryan gave Kailee a blessing so she would feel relaxed and do her best. She was so funny with the blessing and didn't want to have one. But, Ryan did it with her fussing and moving. 
The concert started at 9am. Luckily, Kailee's class was the 9th number so we didn't have to wait too long. Just as the night before, Kailee didn't want me to leave her in the dressing room and didn't want to stay with her class. When it was time for her class to line up, her teacher carried her. Then, her teacher carried her on the stage. When the music started she just stood there and looked around. The poor little thing looked terrified. Before the rehearsal, she had never been on a stage in a large, dark room, with a bunch of strangers looking at her! 
I was a bit disappointed, but I was ok with her just standing there. I am glad she didn't run off the stage.
Now I am wondering, do I keep her in dance to get used to it? Take her out until she is older? What to do?





We told Kailee if she danced, we would fill up her pool and let her swim. That's what we did the rest of the day while Ryan worked in the yard.

My crazy Ellie has started to take off her clothes. I don't remember Kailee doing that. Sometimes I think these girls are exactly the same, but they are also complete opposites. Strange how that works.
