This Week

Lounging at the Hotel

Here she is laying on the floor watching one of her videos on our portable DVD player. That thing is so handy. We did go swimming twice at the hotel pool and she thoroughly enjoyed that.

Louging at Luanne's

This is from this morning as I was getting us ready to go to the park for playgroup. She is watching Super Why! which is her new favorite program. You can watch it on PBS. She is doing great here at Luanne's house. She is sleeping in the big girl bed and taking nice long naps and only seemed to have one nightmare the first night and none last night. And she hasn't fallen out of the big girl bed (twin) yet. She has been enjoying playing with Lucie's toys, as it's like having all new toys for 1.5 weeks. And Lucie has lots of books we have not read before, so that is fun. She likes to "cuddle" now on the couch or chair under a blanket as we read stories together. She will go to one of them and grab a blanket and put in over herlself and say, "cuddle, cuddle."

In other news, she is back to taking 2 steps forward with potty training. She is now starting to periodically tell me when she has to go pee-pee and is going on the potty with a great er frequency and is staying dry or mostly dry at night. So, that's neat. Although, poopy on the potty is a different story, that isn't happening yet.

Playing at Cushing Park We met playgroup today at Cushing park. It was quite sunny & warm today and her little cheeks go so pink. I lubed her up with sunscreen a couple of times while we were there and I made her wear a hat as much as possible, but I did put sunscreen on her head as well. Our friend Carrie let us borrow her sunscreen there and it's a spray, which worked well for doing her head. After Cushing, Isabel & I had a picnic at Riverside Park.

Her Playgroup Twin

This is Isabel & Taryn. Both her mom (Lori) and myself have heard from a number of people that our little girls look so much alike. Taryn is about 4 months older, but other than that they are about the same height and same body structure and same blond hair and blue eyes and are both frequently in pigtails or ponytails, same full lips, and by looks of things they are both right-handed. We had a playdate at their house this afternoon. I love their playroom and took pictures of a couple things I would like to make, get, or have made for Isabel's playroom someday.

AND......Happy Birthday Godmother Jessi!!!!
