Mark and Cassey: SHE'S SETTING THE STANDARDS HIGH

MY 2 1/2 YEAR OLD

I know this is WAY overdue.. but hey, do you remember we just had twins? and got scammed out of a bunch of money trying to build a house? and I started back to work? and the twins went into the hospital? and then we got robbed? Should I continue... or is that excuse enough???

Ok... so back to the Blog! ROSE !!!
She is setting the standards high for her two little sisters! She is everything I ever imagined in my daughter. She is the perfect combination of sweet and mischievous. She is smart and funny and sassy. We are definitely approaching THREEnager years. She has a come-back for everything and most of the time I have to turn my head so she doesn't see me laughing!

Some of my favorite conversations:

Converstion between my mom and Rose

Mom: Rose put your money in your purse or that Rat-Monster is going to take it
Rose: Rat-Monster?
Mom: Yes, he steals money from little girls
Rose: (Later that night) Mom, there is a Rat Monster in my room.
Me: Who is the Rat-Monster?
Rose: He get my money. He weeves in a cave. He eats doh doh (play doh), gwapes, and gwass. He goes far far in the gwound and comes up in my woom. He comes at dark.
Me: Um... Really? Rose... there is no such thing as monsters... (blah blah blah... I go on)
Rose: Mom. "der was one monster, but you just talk talk talk, now der is TWO"
