Buon compleanno la mia bambina

She's two today!

Elmo's new blanket

The obsession is still going strong...a lot of times she'll come over to Chris or me and say "blanket him"  or "her" (one of her cabbage patch dolls), or "me"...now she has a super new blanket for her favorite doll, Elmo!  Thanks, Grandma Shauna!!  It is a little hard to see in this shot, but the blanket has monkeys, lions, butterflies and leaves on it.  It's awesome.

Happy mother's day...for 3 seconds

They have had a lot of birthdays at the Monkey's school lately, so she has been talking about her birthday coming up "in few minutes" for a couple of weeks now.  She came home on Friday with a little present they made for Mother's Day and she couldn't be less interested in it (Elmo and her dolls hadn't been put down for a nap all day, afterall).  But of course, when I opened the present, she came over and said "it's mine's for my birthday." and immediately took it to carry around (and get glitter all over the place). 

All I really wanted was waffles for breakfast anyway - which I got, PLUS Reese's peanut butter cups.  Perfect holiday for me :)

Enjoying the Spring weather

It was so warm outside over the weekend, I could finally put this cute little dress on her. 

We went to the Liberty Science Center this past weekend, too, and of course she had a blast.  They have a whole room just for 2-5 year olds, where she played for like 45 minutes.  After that we went to look at some tiny monkeys.  As our little monkey will tell you, "The monkey pooped.  Yuck...oh goodness"  Then we went up to see some fish tanks, which I think are her favorites.  She for some reason had a favorite fish (a drum fish) that was the biggest in that particular tank and had weird whiskers under his chin.  Every time the fish swam around closer to her, she said "Here comes my guy.  Here comes my dude."  We finished up the day with some lunch, i.e., apple sauce got all over me, and all took a quick nap on the drive home.  Well, our monkey did anyway.  But it was a fun day afterall...
