Pony rides??? We don't need no stinkin' pony rides...

We took the kids to a party for Kree yesterday. It was pretty fun. I am about to go overboard with some photos, but it is as efficient of a way I can think of to get web some of the photos. Since she was away for work...



There was pizza and snow cones.



There were automated cars that sisters got to cruise around in.













Jake played the "in and out of the car" game for about 25 minutes:











There was a pony for the b-day girl and all her friends...



That our kids wanted nothing to do with:



Jake got the closest of the 3 of them; and when i tried to put him on the saddle, he crossed his legs and lifted them higher than his head... I got him out of there before his screeching scared the pony...



Most of the other kids all had a turn:






Cam got very worried when the pony headed back towards her:



See Mac's finger in her mouth? She was VERY distressed that the pony had to wear a hat:



She kept asking: "He has to have a HAT on?"



I tried to get some glamor shots of Mac-Attack and the convertible:









And then she took her cousin for a ride:









They got muddy and it was a super fun party!!!

That's all I'm saying.

Teeth

Yesterday I felt a second tooth pop. If you are looking at you, it is the bottom one to the left. Then to the right a gap, and to the right again another tooth that appeared about a week ago. I have to think the one in the middle is coming soon. You are going to look even cuter with teeth, they seem to be like you, petite but adorable.

You are talking up a storm. At day care they are convinced you said apple "aaa ple". It sounds like it but it is more mimic that true word association. Today, Aunt Katy was convinced you said Sister.

We had a good day today helping TT and KT get their house ready to sell. The cousins played pretty well together. You rarely fussed, only when Jacob or Mackenzie took your toy away (well probabaly only 1/4 of the times they took it away). It won't be long before you are grabbing things away like the others!

You haven't been sleeping well lately. You go down between 7-8 and go to bed easily BUT then in the middle of the night you are waking up. It is as you within your "da" you are saying "hay, let's go play legos". It is a struggle for us especially because your sister isn't sleeping great either and you are beginnign to wake each other up on a daily basis.

We will hope for a full night of zzzzs tonight!

A few sweet stories

We are deep into potty training (and when I say we I mean Nana). Over the course of 8 days we have only had 1 accident. You even make it through your afternoon nap dry. The biggest problem is that you hold it so long (especially #2) that I think you are giving yourself a tummy ache but you are really doing well and we are so proud of you. Now you are only in a diaper at night and so far so good!

- Today I was in the play room and you asked me to take off Cameron's shoes. Then you did this little piggy with Cam's feet. I couldn't catch all the words but I know "this little piggy went to market, this little piggy had oatmeal, this little piggy had roaf weaf and this little piggy went wee wee wee all the way..."

- I was making cookies tonight for a friend's son who was in an accident. I explained to you that I was making a treat for someone who had an accident. You asked "oh an accident, pee or poop?"

- Daddy has a sunburn today from the weekend in RI without sun screen. I was scratching it and we looked over and saw you lifting up Cam's shirt scrating it too. It was very sweet.

- At bed we were getting ready and I put a pull up on you "A pull up, it's kinda like underwear" was your response. After that I reminded you about our rule about bed that there is no wining, crying or fussing. You chimed back "no wining, no crying, no fussing, who wants to hear that". I think you may have got that one from Nana but AMEN!

Your vocab is increasing so much to be in line with normal conversation but I need to watch the things I say like "sure" "awesome" "like" which are becoming part of your everyday speech...certainly there are worse words but I should probabaly not teach you those so young!
