Happy Mother's Day and so much more

Hope everyone had a wonderful Mother’s Day!

We ended up staying home Sunday because Juliet was fighting a low grade fever and I didn’t want her in the nursery at church where she could possibly pick up something more.  She and I watched *shocker* Handy Manny, had probably been 6 months of more since she watched that, made a Mother’s Day card for Mommy, and played with our new bubble machine.  Daddy brought home Chipotle for lunch YUMMMM!, and we took a nap, went to Sonic for a slush and cokes, and just had a fun day at home!
Let’s see, what is HRH (her royal highness) up to these days…

She brushes her teeth twice a day. Which consists more of sucking the water out of the brush than actual brushing, but we are getting there.  At least she is excited to brush and not fighting us.
Her new expression is “Wait a minute”.  If she is thinking about or looking for something, excited about something, or we call her and she isn’t ready to come she will tell us “Wait a minute!”
Stools have become her favorite thing because they enable her to do everything herself, including: washing her hands, brushing her teeth, cooking food in the microwave, fixing her wawa juice and turning on and off lights. She even is creative and uses the ice chest as a stool so she can open and close the garage.  I did order more light switch extenders so maybe we can quit climbing on things that like to slide out from under her.

She doesn't like that her swimmie and her leotards cover her belly button. Strange kid likes to be able to see her belly button.  I can't even pull her pants or panties too high or she says don't cover up my belly button mommy and moves them down.  I did buy her a 2 piece swimmie, she likes that too, but will choose her 1 piece more often.
She has gotten so good about saying her prayers.  All we have to do is tell her to say her prayers.
Peek a boo is now peepee boo, and we play it over and over.  She also likes to hunt eggs.  I think she would hunt eggs all day long if we let her.  I also got her a sprinkler to play in.  She likes it as long as it is low enough where it doesn’t squirt her too much.
Potty training is going really good.  She rarely has an accident when she needs to go teetee.  She waves at the paper as it goes down the toilet and says bye bye teetee.  Now on the other hand, she will NOT tell us when she has to go poop.  I found her in the pantry the other day hiding from me.  I got her to the potty in time so that was our 1 ACCIDENT FREE day!!!  We were so proud of her so she got nummies as a treat!
We went to a Derby party at a friend’s house.  There were a lot of adults and kids she didn’t know, but she did so good.  We only had to talk about taking toys from the babies once.  Then she found things to do where the babies weren’t so she didn’t have to worry about that again.  She did however have another 2 year old boy to “play” with.  She has so far to go before she is ready for the share toys stage...
Life around here is never dull!  I am working on sorting clothes to go to the mission.  Should have a full load since I know Nate will not want to wear pink!
This is week 27, only 13 more to go!

Love to all,
Laura
