Storybook Land

Never heard of this place before, but apparently it has been in NJ for decades.  Also, my parents seemed to know about it but never took us!  Oh well, it was perfect for our tiny monkey.  She loved it...more pics to come.

Last day of day care

She battled a little fever her last couple days at school, but rallied through the fun parts and the goodbyes (it took 30 minutes to say all her goodbyes, though!).  And even though she crashed on the drive home, she was still holding on fiercely to some of the goodbye presents her nice teachers gave her. 

We'll miss her teachers, but can't wait to have a school that's only 5 minutes away from the house.  Fingers crossed she likes it as much as she likes her old school! 

Low key Father's Day

Our little monkey got very little sleep on Saturday, both her nap and her night's sleep weren't sufficient.  So needless to say our early morning on Sunday was a bit rocky.  While I was making breakfast, things got a little quiet so I went to see what was happening and saw this:

Just lasted for 10 minutes or so, but still very cute...

Silly Monkey...

As we were getting ready to go to Chris's mom's house on Sunday, our little monkey found one of my shirts and insisted on putting it on.  As Chris was helping her down the stairs, he asked "Do you want to take off Mommy's shirt before we go?"

"Umm...no."  replied the Monkey.  Chris asked, "Why not?"  Her response, "Because it's cute."

Happy Birthdays!

The little monkey is slowly starting to understand minutes vs. days and sort of understands that now that her birthday is over, there are other birthdays to be celebrated.  Last week, we had two that we celebrated, so in honor of that:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO DAD AND GRANDDAD FROM THE LITTLE MONKEY!!

(a little late on the post anyway)

And the hot summer days are just beginning...

It wasn't too hot yesterday, but we had some fun in the sprinkler anyway. 

Still a little freaked out by grass, our little monkey insisted on wearing her shoes with her bathing suit while running to the sprinkler to get a little bit of water in her container and then running back and pouring it on the sidewalk.  Either way, we're ready for the summer!

Celebrating with a second cupcake for the day

well, really she only ate the frosting.  but it was still fun!

happy second birthday my little monkey!
