I'm so excited & I just can't hide it!

Whoo hoo! Bella can't wait for her first little kids book club party :)

This little cutie is growing up faster than any of the boys. She watches their every move & can't wait to read books, play in a soccer game, use the computer & go to school! It's like torture to her that her little body won't allow her to do all these things. Her out of control monkey moves got her into trouble today at the Carter's outlet. She kept climbing on top of the lego table they have for kids to play with, & chucking the lego blocks. I kept putting her back into the chair & she kept climbing back up. Finally, I told her no more table & brought her over by me in line, where there were rows of stuffed animals to play with. She'd grab each elephant, monkey & bear by their foot and throw her arm back, tossing the animals through the air! I couldn't grab them as fast as she could throw them. All I could think was, "How could I have forgotten to put the dang stroller back in the car?!" After finally putting the display back while performing a wrestling hold on little Bella, I plopped her on the counter & told her to HOLD STILL! Whatever. While I still had 1 hand on her leg, she twisted around & placed both hands on an upside down mouse pad & faster than lightning slid on her stomach over the back side of the counter head first. I screamed, which got the attention of every single person in the store, except the cashier who was in reaching distance of Bella. Her reaction was just to look at me like, "what's your problem, lady?" She obviously wasn't a mom. Luckily, as I was trying to grab Bella I was practically over the counter & saw that her head landed in a pile of lay-away bags full of clothes. It was super scary, but all turned out OK. Bella's now sound asleep in her little cage we call a crib, right where she belongs. Safe & sound. If I ever forget the stroller again, I'm turning around & heading back home! It's not worth it- my heart is barely starting to resemble a normal heart rate again.
