birthdays are great!

this weekend we celebrated my friend dixie's 2nd birthday with a nice little party! we had lunch and some yummy chocolate cake! i was so excited to sing the HAPPY BIRTHDAY song for dixie that i was jumping up and down! dixie got some nice gifts, including a toy golf club set. daddy tried to teach me how to play golf with them and i did pretty good! i also got to play golf with my friends dixie and maggie. we had fun running around being silly. dixie gave maggie and i magic wands for attending her party and it sure is special! i love to wave it around and put magic spells on my doggies!
daddy got enough done in the basement to move things back to where they used to be! this means that my kitchen and other bigger toys got to go back downstairs and i can play there again! there is so much more room for me down there and i also love having a change of scenery, especially since we are getting another dose of winter these days and it's way too cold to play outside. in this picture, i am feeding froggy a very nutritious meal of hot dogs and corn on the cob!

i'm still doing great on the potty! just a few accidents in the past week! i'm not even shy to poop away from home! i went at church yesterday. mommy felt like she spent more time in the bathroom than she did participating in mass, but at least i didn't have any accidents! saturday we took a road trip two hours each way and i did great then too! i'm really a big girl now! i just turned two and a half yesterday! here are some pictures with my froggy and my pookies!

1st day of school!!!

yes, today was my first day of mom's morning out and i had a great time! we got up this morning and got out the door right on time. i was very shy when we first arrived and had a few tears when mommy left me, but i sat on the teacher's lap and we read a story to distract me a little bit. i made a zoo picture with big animal stamps to bring home for mommy and daddy! i also got to play with some toys and go outside on the playground. mommy packed me a yummy lunch even though i didn't eat too much of it at school. i finished it on the car ride home though! i even used the big girl potty at school and didn't have any accidents this morning! when mommy came to pick me up, i just smiled big at her, but i really wasn't in a hurry to leave. in fact, when we got home i told mommy i was ready to go back to school! she told me on wednesday, so i'll keep bugging her about it till then!

today is day four in underwear and i've made tons of progress. i only had two accidents yesterday. i am getting better at telling mommy when i need to go and holding it until i can get to the potty.

mommy caught me on video singing with my elmo karaoke toy this weekend. she says she's going to save it to share with the whole world when i become a big star on american idol one day!

POPS are AWESOME!

well, i start my first day of school on monday morning! it's actually a mom's morning out program at a church and i will go twice a week. i have been there twice to look at the place, and i really like the outside playground there! i have met my teacher and she seems really nice. she asked me if i was excited to come to school next week and i shouted YES and starting jumping up and down! mommy keeps trying to prepare me for monday, saying that she will drop me off there to be with the teacher and play with the other kids. i say OK now, but we'll see how i react on monday morning when she leaves! we're also in a pickle about lunch since i have to bring one with me. my favorite lunch is a peanut butter sandwich, and we can't take anything that contains peanuts inside the school due to allergies. mommy does have lunch meat and cheese though so i'm just going to have to broaden my horizons with my lunch menu a little bit!

yesterday daddy brought home a HUGE thing of bubble wrap and rolled it out on the floor for me to hop around on. i call them POPS! it sure was a lot of fun!

today is the first day wearing my new underwear! i have been potty training for almost two months now, but mommy thought it was time for me to step it up a notch. i had my first accident and it definitely felt different than going pee-pee in my diaper. hopefully that will help me to remember to tell mommy or daddy when i have to go! mommy is prepared to keep the washer and dryer going to get my undies and pants clean and dry again when i do have those accidents! learning takes patience, but it sure has it's rewards!

HAPPY ST PATRICK'S DAY!

i really like today! shamrocks are pretty cool, although sometimes i call them snowflakes or flowers. we went to the library for storytime today and i made my own special shamrock there! i put some pretty confetti on it and i love to hold it and wave it around like a magic wand! mommy and i are also wearing our lucky socks today that we got in a package from grandma and grandpa! i sure thought it was silly that mommy was taking a picture of our stinky feet!

yesterday mommy and i made shamrock cookies. i did a really great job helping and once again, the cookies were very yummy!

i would like to share one of my favorite prayers with you in honor of st paddy's day:

"may the road rise to meet you

may the wind be always at your back

may the sun shine warmly on your face

the rain fall softly on your fields

and until we meet again

may God hold you in the palm of His hand."

fun at the tot lot

yesterday was a nice day so mommy and i headed up to the tot lot to play and enjoy the sunshine. my friend dixie was there too so we had a great time together! here are some pictures of us being silly!
