My Little Riley
I love you more than words could ever describe. You my dear
are the love of my life. You make me laugh harder than anyone could ever make
me laugh. You make me smile at times I didn’t think it was possible. You make
me the person I always wanted to be but never thought I could.
I LOVE YOU.
No matter how exhausting it may be, every night I hope to
hear you stir in bed, or have a bad dream; so I can come scoop you out of bed
and into my arms. I love it when you fall asleep next to me while playing with
my hair with one hand and hold my hand with the other.
I love that you love to wear dresses… “big dresses” as you
call them. And that wedges are your choice of playground shoes. I love that you
make bubble beards during your “bubbles bath.”
I love that you fix your hair and check your teeth before
leaving the restroom. I love that you want to paint your nails every morning,
and brush your teeth like a pro.
I love that you think it is funny to have wedgies, and that
you hide your “boobs” when you think someone might be able to see them.
I love that every day, you learn new words. New phrases and
new sentences. I love that you love learning.
I love that you are just as OCD as me. I love that you are
just as clumsy as daddy…and well me. (just quit hurting yourself it scares me.)
I love that you aren’t afraid to get as dirty as possible…while wearing your
dress and wedges.
I love that you can laugh at yourself. I love that you are
shy, timid, but completely confident. I love that you are confident…that you
are sure of yourself, and very proud to be who you are.
I love that you love to color and draw and “write” mommy and
daddy letters. You are going to be an amazing artist/writer….even if it is just
for fun.
You are perfect. A perfect mix of everything I wish I could
be.
I LOVE YOU MY LITTLE BUG. I LOVE YOU AND EVERY TANTRUM THAT
COMES ALONG WITH YOU.
You will impact this world with more than anyone could
possibly imagine. You will amaze even me with what you will be able to
accomplish during your life time. You have it in you to do amazing things in
life and everyone that knows you, knows this is true. You make me proud my
little love. And no matter what, please know that I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU.

Vitamins
I have been completely worn out, exhausted all the time no matter how much sleep i get. I use to take vitamins all the time, use to eat a lot healthier (not that i eat a lot of junk now, but i use to eat a lot less junk than i do no) I have been feeling it. Coffee isnt working anymore, nothing has been enough. After speaking with my sister, who recommended a coupld of different things to me, i decided to give it a try and add vitamins back into my daily routine.
Magnesium and Fish Oil.
I did not take either one of them today (forgot to do so before walking out the door) and i can totally feel it.
The Magnesium is AMAZING! It has provided me with the energy i have been lacking. Old Taylor was ready for a nap by 1230pm even after sleeping in till 8am. For the past couple of days since i have been taking magnesium, nap time hasnt even been in the daily routine. I have been up and at'em like i should be.
Life changing, i no longer feel like i dont have the energy for my child like i should. Commercial Ad, i think so!.
Fish oil is just amazing altogether, and helps me collect myself, think straight and function like i should. Together this is the best combo for me to start out with. Others will be added into my diet shortly but i wanted to start simple so i could figure out what vitamins where doing what for me, and what really helps me.
I recommend reading all about each of these, and incorporating them into your diet.

Spring Break...Time to Relax....orrr NOT.
School has been great this semester, it is kicking my arse, but in a good way. I have been pushed and stretched in every which way possible, but it is making me a better student, a better debater, and better at voicing my opinion and standing up for myself (things i didnt think school would help me with). I finished my mid-terms on Wednesday, which i might add i kicked ass at, and now i have a week off of school to enjoy myself.
I am hoping that thi spring break calms itself down soon, its been a little much for me...and i dont mean in the too much fun kinda way.
Friday night i witnessed my roomate take a beating from a car, watching this all happen outside of my front window of my house.
The car almost hit him, but stopped. Strass threw his hands up, and the car floored it, sending Strassner to the windshield, after reaching about 40 mph the person slammed on his brakes sending Strassner flying. He landed in the middle of the road and this person decided that he didnt do enough damage so continued with running him over.
Awful. Riley was screaming, i was screaming, Sandra was screaming, Strassner was laying in the middle of the street, unsure of what was broken or how bad off he was (i mean i would imagine he was pretty broken) I called 911, they came and picked him up and got statements from us. He was home by 6am the next morning.
Broken bones= zero
pain= yup.
he is alive. he is just fine. So after a fun filled weekend of memory loss, picking up puke and dealing with cops, i think spring break lived up to its name.
Please. Never. Again!

She is Two!
She’s Two. She’s Sassy. She’s completely amazing.
I can’t believe my little baby is two. Where has the time gone?!
Riley Jane has completely amazed me over the past two years with the amount that she has accomplish, the amount she can understand, and the amount she learns every second of the day.
I never thought the “Wow” factor would be so prominent in every hour of my day. She truly is just awesome.
Fully potty train by 17 months, night time potty trained for the past 3 months! Her vocabulary is amazing. Her ability to make connections between people, places, roads, and items blows me away. Her memory leaves me absolutely speechless, she tells me about situations (in detail) that happened 5 months ago. I didn’t know kids could remember that far back at such a young age, and in the detail that she describes it in.
As of right now our biggest accomplishment is Independence, learning to play and entertain herself as well as not freaking out when mommy has to leave the room, or god forbid the house. ( She would have a complete meltdown over this situation just a couple weeks ago, and now she kisses me and says her good byes and is pretty much okay with the fact that I am leaving her for the next 12 hours, 97% of the time.)
Amazing is just not enough to describe my little love bug. She truly is a gift, that I will never understand how I got.
Her personality is out of this world, a complete character this kid is! She is absolutely one of the funniest people I know, she knows it too. She loves to make you laugh, and she loves to laugh with you. Her giggles are so sweet, its hard not to just laugh with them for the sake of laughing. We spent hours yesterday just learning how to make new silly faces, laughing at each others distorted facial features.
Everyday I am in school, I look forward to the moment I get pull into the driveway only to see my little baby’s (well big girl) face light up, yelling my name and blowing me kisses one after another, watching her dart past the window to the front door to hug my thigh and reach up to kiss my lips. Her sweet little voice, and oh so sweet kisses get me every time.
I love hearing about her day, what she did and of course what Zoie did (mainly about Zoie pooing in the bath a couple weeks ago….we hear that story A LOT).
She loves to call her “Mimi” and her “Momma” (Rachel) and her best friend Zo. bath time is a favorite time around this house, bubbles bubbles and well a whole large bottle of mommy’s body wash bubbles, more bubbles!
I love every crazy aspect of my darling little RJ, from her crazy hair, to crazy temper after waking up, to crazy obsession with cleaning, and having clean clothes on (she changes if she sees a drop of water on her
I never thought I could love a person like this, and this feeling only grows as each day passes, I love her more than I did yesterday, an hour ago, a minute ago, and even more than the passing second. How could I not, she is absolutely perfect, everything I could ever dream of in a child, and so so so much more.

Catching up to life
Putting Riley to bed tonight, we said our prayers and read a book.. And then another one...and then another one. I've felt so guilty that all i have done this week is pack and move, which left very little play time. So we cuddled up in bed and tried to make it last as long as possible.
Everyday seems to go by faster and faster. Im trying to catch up to life but it's just not happening...so i'm going to try somethinng new. Im going to slow down, make sure i go to bed knowing that my little girl and i got to spend quality time together. Chores can wait. Yes Riley and i spend every day together, roughly 84 hours of only time together a week...but i feel like its just not enough. I am puting her in daycare starting January (im starting school again) which is going to be a complete change of pace for both of us. I want to soak as much time in with her as possible until then. I just cant figure out why i feel so guilty.
I love my little dood.
