moments

Do you know what I am doing right now? Sitting in a completely quite house. How you ask in the middle of the day? Allison is asleep and Emily decided she wanted an early nap today. I can't tell you how long it's been since our house was quite. Between 2 girls, one of them is always screaming.

The girls and I went to the grocery store this morning. Alli was having a rough time because the car grocery carts rock so everytime she would fall asleep the cart would rock and wake her up. Well by the end of our trip she'd had it and would not stop screaming. So I make my way up to the check out area and of course everyone has to turn and stare at the screaming baby-like that's so stinking unusual. A lady I know Sally, pulled up behind me and could not take Alli's screaming so she took the carrier and started swaying it. Of course it worked like a charm, but the minute I snapped her back in on top of the cart the wailing started again. The funny part about this whole story is I can hear 3 conversations going on around me of people remembering what it was like when their children were little. Please don't think I was flustered by Alli's crying, after having Emily who was colic and would scream during every grocery store trip the entire time, this was nothing.

Guess who started smiling? Yup, Alli. I haven't gotten it on film yet but when I do I will post.
