Oh my the world of blogging has begun!

So as you see, I have stepped over into the world of blogging in hopes that I may keep you all up to date on our ever so busy life. Reagan is growing so fast and unfortunatley we don't get around to seeing our family and friends like we would like to, so hopefully this will help everyone get a glimpse into the world of the Lockes.


Where oh where do I begin? Well as you all know Rea is 2 1/2 and I am loving it. I love waking up every morning to a new saying that may just come out of her mouth. In the meantime I'm scratching my head thinking where did she come up with that. But as we all know little ears hear all, even when we don't realize they are listening. So more than likely she has picked it up from Charlie or yes even me. I have even learned just how I am doing on my parenting by watching her be a mommie to her "2". (for those of you that don't know her "2", well this is her 3rd, yes I said it 3rd cat. All of them have been named "2". So really this one is 222.) (Charlie and I just hope this one last forever.) Just to give everyone a little info. on her other "2s": the first one was given to her as a joke for her second birthday, well acutally it was a joke on charlie, but it backfired on me and so we then ended up with a kitten, in which she/we named "2" since Rea had turned 2. Well "2" #1 lived with us for about 3 months and then we think a rattlesnake decided to try and have her for lunch. So we felt bad and got her another "2" which we actually called "22". Well we live in the country and unfortunately something got "22" after about only 1 month. So needless to say this new "2" is an inside cat for right now. We weren't going to get her a new kitten but once Rea realized what Santa's job was she started asking Santa to bring her a new "2". So you know Santa couldn't disappoint a little girl that has been good all year, well most of the year that is.

Now getting back to Reagan's mothering skills on her "2". Reagan is great mother! LOL She puts "2" in timeout when "2" is bad, she kisses and hugs her "2", and more than anything loves her "2". Oh I forgot to mention the occasional choking and wagging her around like a doll. (No I do not choke my child, so I'm not sure where she learned that.) However not only has she learned how to mother "2" from the way I mother Reagan, but she has also learned how to care for other people from watching "2". i.e. Reagan has tired to give me a bath by licking me. She chased me all around the playroom one night trying to lick me. Tis the joys of having a 2 1/2 year old.

Rea and "2"

Okay, so as you see I have become a blogger. Now I can't say that I will be a faithful blogger but I will try to keep it updated regularly. You may get bored with some of the stuff I may put on here but that is the Lockes life and sometimes it is boring.

So I must go for now and save "2" from the great mothering skills of my mini me.

One last thing I may just allow Charlie to blog a little on occasion. He is actually a great expressionist (if that is even a word)! Now I must warn you that I may mistype or misspell things and for sure my grammer isn't going to be the best, but at least my thoughts will get blogged about.


Loving you all,
Ashley
