Ode to Auntie Cheremi

So, I'll start off by saying that I am the WORST blogger ever and will hopefully get back to it! It seems like I always feel that whatever I have to say isn't important enough but I think I'll just start blogging it anyway.

Raya is alot like her Auntie Cheremi...in looks, sibling placement, temperment, her dislike of waking up in the morning and she has now carried it over to this......

Cheremi used to sit on the register every morning for as long as mom would let her. She needed it in order to wake up at least somewhat happily. This morning Raya woke up (quite grumpy as usual) and I sent her away until she could be happy. I found her a few minutes later in Theo's room sitting on the register. It brought back memories :) SO GREAT!

funny story...well maybe not so funny

I was laying in bed with Raya today and I asked her if she wanted to rub my back. She said yes and started to rub my back by my shoulder blades. Hallie says
"I want to rub your back too mom!"
So I tell her to rub my back at the bottom
"Where's the bottom?" she says.
"The lower part of my back, below where Raya is rubbing"
"Where??"
"Right Here" as I show her the lower part of my back
"OOOHHHH, you mean the squishy part?"

Apparently the lower part of my back should be called the "squishy part". Isn't that uplifting!!!

Raya wanted to be like Uncle Jesse too!!

Raya fell down the stairs at a friends place today.
