Wordless Wednesday~ Play-Doh fun!

 

Toddler Quotes

Rea:  "Mommy, I want to watch the Lizard of Oz." 

Me:  "Honey, it's called Wizard of Oz." 

Rea:  "No mommy, Lizard of Oz."

She LOVED the Lizard of Oz and the 'witchy witch' in her words, aka Wicked Witch of the West.

Other toddler quotes:

"Mommy, I'm really not a fan of that."  -referring to watching Food Network instead of a cartoon.

"Can I please have a smidge of milk before bed?"  -who could resist a toddler saying smidge?!

"I am going to put on my boots and my coat and you are going to get your keys and we are leaving this house."  -someone had cabin fever!  (She refused to admit defeat when I advised we couldn't meet Aunt Nette for Orange Leaf because of the weather. She sat for an hour in her coat and boots. Until the lure of making cookies pulled her out of her slump.)

"Mommy you just broke me! Jesus made me and you just broke me..." *insert toddler frown here* -when she accidentally slipped off my lap at the dinner table

As she pulled me out of bed one morning, I said, "Oof Mommy's tired."  Without missing a beat, Rea goes, "Everyday I'm shuffling."

I love my toddler and the hilarious things she thinks of! She keeps us laughing...

Happy birthday Papa!

Wordless Wednesday~ Memory!

Fun Night!

Rea and I were invited to the Altoona Elementary Family Fun Night on Saturday night with our friends, the Dilks.

Peanut was SO excited to be inside an actual school (and not just a pretend one with mom in her bedroom...).  She naturally wanted to take her backpack until I told her it was just a night for games and said backpack might hold her back.  But she did literally run inside the doors when we got there... preschool can't come soon enough in her mind.

It gave me a great look into the future as to what's to come... there is so much hard work and dedication putting on something like this. Kudos to the parent's and staff for organizing such a fun night for the kids! 


Let the games begin!

Throwing the ball like a rock star.

Bowls like her mama... a little off base.

Ring toss!

Hula hoops and Limbo in the gym...

Face painting!

The magician. She was a little disturbed that the magician did not have a top hat, cape or magic wand. I had to do some quick thinking with that one...

And to remind me that she is only 3!, a toddler meltdown on the way out the doors... maybe school can wait a couple more years. :)

Firsts

Reagan had her first 'friend' sleepover last night...

I have to admit, as a mom to an only child, I had a small fear that she would not want to share her toys, wouldn't want to take turns, wouldn't want to share me, but my fears were unfounded.  She and her bestie had a great time! 

I love that we have made her bedroom more 'toddler friendly'- they had a blast playing in it and as I eavesdropped, I could hear fun stories of make-believe being played out, with each girl asking, 'Do you want a turn now?' 

We baked cookies and filled our tummies, we popped popcorn and watched a movie, we played music and danced to get the sillies out, and both girls were snoring by 10:00 p.m.  I see this as the first of many successful sleepovers in Rea's future. 

And the day after? Excuse me while I go nap....

Let's make cookies!

Taking a quick break to catch up on Sofia:

 Dance party time:

Snug as a bug in a rug

We survived!  Breakfast time....
