This morning when I was taking a shower I saw a ladybug on the ledge, by the window so I called Layla in to look at it. She gets so excited when she sees ladybugs, she loves them! So she yelled for Daddy to come in and get it for her. She had so much fun letting it crawl all over her hands and when we got ready to head to the PX she even put it in her kitty backpack to take with us (which Ed and I then secretly saved the poor thing and let it go). 
Layla's new obsession when we're at the store, a shopping car. You know, those shopping carts that have a car attached to the front of them. We went to Conrad's today and there were about 4 of these "cars" attached to a play gas pump. We put out 1 euro in and got one so Layla could drive around in it. She had a blast! She did NOT want to get out and was very upset with us when we left. Thank goodness for McDonald's! Anyway, now whenever we go to the PX or Commissary she says she wants to sit in the car instead of the basket. Too bad all the ones here in Graf are disgusting and I won't let her sit in them. LOL 
I just had to share that I am officially done with my bachelor's degree! I took my last two finals this morning! I am so happy and excited, I can't believe this day is finally here. It seems like I have been in school for forever now but it's awesome to know that all my hard work has finally paid off. I'm a college graduate! My degree is in business administration with a minor in psychology so lets hope that I can find a good job with it. Now to look into graduate schools! :)
I would like you all to meet Grandma. Grandma is small, round, green, and is always trying to give candy to Layla. She likes to wear witch hats and a cape wherever she goes and smells of chocolate. She is always there for Layla and Layla loves going everywhere that Grandma goes. Meet Grandma...
LOL... My mom sent Layla this M&M dude for Halloween and we just got it today. As soon as Layla opened the package I told her that Grandma got it for her. So what does she do? She looks at it, hugs it, and says "aw, thank you, Grandma!" And ever since then she has been calling it Grandma. We were in the car, ready to go to the PX and Layla goes "GRANDMA!!! Where is Grandma?" So we had to go back upstairs and find Grandma so she could come with us. This has been going on all day!
This morning Layla and I were getting ready and she always stands on her Princess chair and plays with my makeup while I put it on. Ed has some coins (awards) that are up there also that she always likes to count. Well I had to go get something from my purse in the other room so I left and then as I was coming back into our bedroom I hear Layla playing with the coins and counting "uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco..." etc. She was counting in Spanish! How she knows that I have no clue, I am assuming from Dora.
Tonight was home made pizza night which is Layla's favorite thing to help me make. She loves mixing the dough and putting on the cheese and olives. Well I didn't have any sliced olives today so we had to use chopped ones instead and boy did that make a mess. She would grab a handful and put it on the pizza and then grab a handful and eat it. I had chopped olives all over the entire floor in the kitchen! She had a blast though and that's all that matters.
