New cute sayings from Milena.

"Roger That Mama!"

"Mommy, you're a woman and you have lot's to do"

Also, fun new developments and activities include counting to 30 (especially with peas or grapes), pointing out her favorite colors (blue, pink and yellow), identifying shapes, riding her red trike, planning her 3rd birthday party, reading books, singing songs and dancing in the living room and playing dress up at bedtime. There other night she came out in four different costumes after bedtime (pirate, princess, ballerina and pirate-fairy). Cute! At least we don't have the sleep on her floor anymore :-).

Small Victories

So happy to declare a small victory (at least for now) on potty training! No accidents for two weeks today- hooray!! M is also now getting herself in and out of the car which is a huge weight off this pregnant mommy and she is helping me prepare dinner and starting to clean up her room before dessert. I can't believe how much a 2 year old can do! I never expected such independence at such a young age. Now, if we could just make some progress at bedtime which is still a major undertaking every night. Thankful for patient papa these days!
Me: M, how was your day at school today?

M: I cried all day, "mommy, mommy where are you?" (usual answer every day after school)

Me: Hmmm really? Just cried all day- nothing fun at all? Dancing? Yoga? Playing Outside? Craft time? Puppet show? Dress up time? Books and show and tell? Snack time? All crying for mommy?

M: Oh, well....I guess I did dance like a ballerina :-) AND there are puddles in the playhouse!

Me: Oh good, I'm glad school's not all bad!
