It's Potty Time!!

For the past week, I have been requesting the book "Potty Time" every night before bed.  This weekend Mom & Dad got me my very own potty chair which was fun to look at for a day, then fun to sit on before the bath last night.  But today, after dinner, I went pee on the potty!!  The best part was getting to wear a princess pull-up (and the M&Ms I got as a reward).

Here's a picture of me admiring my princess pull-up and the pee in the potty:
I really liked those princess pull-ups...so much that when Dad made me put on a baby diaper for bed, I threw a fit and cried for about 10 minutes saying "daddy take my princess"

I'm a busy girl, what can I say?!

I know, I promised to post more frequently, but once again I failed.  Whatever, let's not judge, let's just move on and get a good quarterly update on my life shall we?

Christmas was awesome, Santa was NOT.  Honestly, who wants to sit on some old man's lap that you do not know with his freakishly long beard and obnoxious red velvet suit?  This has to be one of the strangest traditions in existence...  Nevertheless, I now understand that this photo ultimately resulted in me getting a slide, some Minnie Mouse PJs (which I promptly put on - over top my other jammies) and a harmonica among other things!





Post-Christmas, Mom signed us up for gymnastics class which is super fun.  I am learning to jump (with both feet off the ground), walk on the balance beam, do somersaults and swing from the bars.



Turns out that slide I got for Christmas is slippery.  I was climbing up and slipped which made me hit my chin on the step resulting in a fair amount of blood and a nasty scab that is taking forever to heal.  For such a nasty looking mark, there was actually very little crying...I'm tough like that


I have a strange knack for getting in things that are too small for me.  Jackson and I like to pull each other around the house in a toy wagon (made for toys, not actually for people) I tried to ride my toy giraffe (why not?) and when I stayed at Uncle Mike's house, I tried to climb into Madalynn's doll house - head first.



My vocabulary has taken off lately.  I will attempt to say pretty much anything, and most things get pretty close.  I have a few famous phrases/words:
"I do it" (leave me alone - I can do everything myself)
"Mommy/Daddy r u" (where are you)
"Jacksy" (Jackson)
"Mines" (that's mine - back off immediately)
"Roll call, Donald, Goofy, Minnie, Mickey" (intro to Mickey Mouse Clubhouse)
remote in hand "Mickey on" (I want to watch Mickey)

I just moved up a class at school.  My new teacher is Ms. Dianne who loves me and couldn't wait for me to get into her class!  She has been teaching me my shapes and she lets me play with the baby dolls all day!  I am having so much fun with the big kids (2-2.5 year olds).  I also love to color and draw - we do lots of art projects in Ms. Dianne's room.

Well, there you have it.  I will make no false promises of the next blog update, but will make every effort to do better...Who knows what I'll be up to when you check back next?!
