Amazing!!

This might look like your average pair of feet but no. This pair of feet belong to the potty training champion of the world!!!! In record time, she has totally home trained!!!!! Now onto bigger adventures!!!!

Whoa... Wait a minute. Is that....

No it can't be. Big bird?! No way.

Nighttime struggles

You and Ruby share a room. Your nighttime shenanigans have progressively gone from a little giggling to all out screaming at each other. You, dear baby girl, are a bit of a chatty cathy. I think of it as being a conversationalist. It does not, however impress your sister who us wearily teying to go to sleep.

So, for the past few nights, she has slept in Henrys room on the floor and you have slept by yourself. It really kills me to have to tell you that Ruby isnt coming. Your bottom lip pouts and tears roll as you say " lay me, mommy"
Of course I lay with you. :)

But heres the surprising thing- how much I am loving reading your books to you - just you. And how much you are loving the one on one time. It is something I will try to focus more on. It makes both of us so happy.

Graduation

On your last day of school, Mrs Grimes had a turning ceremony where she "turned" you into a three year old. You were so sweet.

Goggles

How cute are you?? Seriously. Cutest kid ever. Right here.

"Broken Fingers"

We swam in the pool for several hours yesterday and you noticed your fingertips were all wrinkled. You came to show me, saying "my fingers are broken". :)

Bunny ears

Today, I threw out the bunny ears hat that Mrs Grimes made you for the party I missed. It was a big deal to me because I never throw out stuff like that, but it kept making me feel bad whenever I looked at it and I devided it was time to forgive myself and
Move on! You are so very important to me, and you know I love you so.

People make mistakes. You just have to say your sorry and do better next time. Now hopefully I wont miss anymore of your many special days to come, little lovebug.

Cutest pair of Bare Feet

When I went to wake up you and Ruby this morning, I was surprised to be greeted by a big fluffy sparkling tutu and a cute little pair of bare feet. You two had put on your dress up outfits last night in between your bedtime story and going to sleep. It was one of those times I wish I had a camera!
