Laney's Valentine's Day

We had lots of fun last weekend with our little Valentine. We got her a heart sprinkled donut and I set it out for her with her gift when I got up with the boys. My Valentine's presents were always waiting for me in the morning at my place at the table when I was a little girl, so I wanted Laney's to be all set for her too. She was really excited about her donut!!!!

We had a very Dora heavy celebration, starting with a card from Daddy.

I got Laney a Dora Valentine's book months ago on a big sale somewhere. Luckily her love for Dora has only gotten greater over the last few months

Todd decided to get Laney something that could become a tradition every year. He is going to get her a CD each year. I love that idea, because he loves music so much. I hope that he can pass that love and appreciation down to her. I have absolutely no musical inclination at all. One year, as a New Year's Resolution, I decided to exchange tardiness in my life for an appreciation of music. It didn't stick!

So this year, Laney got....big surprise.....a Dora CD!!!! I think that Todd is anxious for years to come when he can give her CDs that don't have songs led by cartoon character voices. But, she loves it!!!! A couple of times in the past week, we have been driving around aimlessly in an effort to keep our boys sleeping soundly. You would think that would be boring for Laney but she is happy as can be singing along with her "movie" as she calls it. The funniest thing about her CD is that it has verses in Spanish, and every time it starts, Laney laughs and says that they are singing backwards! She says, "I can't sing along now, it's too hard."

Laney got down to read her new book to Miles. The boys enjoyed their first Valentine's Day too. I got them some milk....they loved it!
