Digging outside Lucy yells to me "Mama! I found China dirt!" With out me realizing she had "dug" her way to China. She had dug a small hole which she thought for sure was straight to China.
"What do you get with a cow, chicken, and roster? A cockle-doodle-doo-brock-brock-moooooooooo!"
My husband is asking Lucy what her jaw bone is called. She answerer's him by saying "A girldibular." He says "No, a mandibular" She says, "No daddy, it's a girldibular. I'm a girl and I have a girldibular like mama. YOU have a mandibular. Your a boy!"
"Mmmm, mm, mmmmmm. I sure so love your apple pie! When I grow up I want to be a wife baker too!"
"Mama, I think your too scared to sleep all by yourself. I should sleep in your bed and make sure you have sweet dreams."
"Are you using the wet vacoom or the not wet vacuum?" She asked me this when I was getting ready to vacuum. She calls our carpet cleaner the wet vacuum.
Just a few of the daily Lucy-isms. Hope you all have a fantastic day.

Growing up, again
What's with the name of this blog you might think. Well, I'm 32 yrs old and still growing up. Everyday I get to relive my youth through Lucy. All of her firsts become mine. A child sees the world as new and exciting. When she was born I felt like I was reborn. Reborn as a mother. She is teaching me just as much as I am her. That is why I feel as if I'm still growing up. I mean geez, I just got my 1st mini van. Before I was driving a 96 Dodge Stratus. I feel like such a big girl now. Even though you'll her kids tunes coming from the finger and nose smeared windows. I used to look through my rear view mirror and see what I passed. Now when I look through it, I see my future sitting there bobbing her sweet little head to the music.
We went to a local farm market yesterday to get pumpkins and feed the animals. Lucy had so much fun that she went to bed crying. I asked her why she was crying. Her response "I was thinking about all the fun. Now it's all donnnnneeeeee". 3 years old and already crying about the happy things in her past. A week ago I was doing the same thing as I was taking down her crib to make room for her big girl bed. The similarities are uncanny between us,( well the woman species in general), not the situations. Sentimental doesn't have the word mental in it for no reason you know. At least I can joke about it now. A week ago, all I could do was sob when Lucy wasn't looking. I didn't want her to think that getting her big girl bed was sad or a bad thing. So the is gone, but the rocking chair remains. My last grip on her baby years. I'm like a 3-4 yr old gripping tightly to there pacifier as their parent holds out their hand. Knowing that if I hand it over, I'll never get it back. I'm still growing, still learning how to let go and to handle all of life's daily lessons.

New to this
I was told by several people to start a blog about my daughter Lucy and my outlook on life. As someone who is computer not-so-smart I'm giving it a try. My daughter is 3 years old and the light of my life. One thing I learned from having her is that she is not just my Lucy, but the world's. My husband and I tried for years to have her. Lots of people were involved mentally in this process, making her the communities or the world's. She has an outlook on life that is loving and just plain amazing. She wants everyone to be happy and feel loved. One of her favorite things to say is "Together, we can make a difference". Which is usually followed by "Love is all we need". Sounds hippish doesn't it? But that is how she feels. Which in return makes me think that as a human race we stand a chance. Through her eyes is how I want to see the world. Wouldn't it be amazing if our world leaders could see through a child's eyes? Think of how the world would be. Smiles and songs all around!
Lucy is a typical little girl that loves all things pretty and glittery. She is constantly dressing up and singing a song. Her imagination is amazing and very big. She can find the good in just about everything. She always a hug and a smile ready for you. She tries so hard to be a good girl and make everyone happy.
Me, well, I think I'm a happy person. I think that singing should be apart of everyday life. How cool would it be to have people break into song at the grocery store? I try very hard to be a good role model for my daughter. I treat others how I would like to be treated, I have faith in the Lord, and I try to be easy to smile. I believe everyone deserves love. I live with my husband AJ (who is wonderful), Lucy, and our dog Sadie (who is great too). I think that is about all for the introduction of us. Thank you for reading. The other entries won't be so bland.
