The Hunt for Poo

Today I bought Paige a princess potty in the hopes that it would encourage her to use it!  I potty trained her a month before we moved and she was doing great!  The day we moved into our house, she refused to go.  I had to give up trying after a week.  Now she's just decided she's not going to do it!

I'm so against those little mini potties!  The thought of cleaning one out disgusts me so I've always used the seats that you put on a normal potty.  Well at this point, I'll try anything!

She was so excited to get her potty and kept sitting on it and playing with it.  After I walked away and came back, I caught her filling the potty with water in the sink.  Classic Paige.

An hour later I walked into her room to find her wiping her own butt with poo all over it!  I asked her where she pooped.  Her response "on the wipes."  WHAT?  I finished cleaning her up and went on a poo hunt.  I couldn't find it anywhere!  I did think to check the toilet but it wasn't there.  I asked her again and her response was the same "on the wipes."  SO either she started to go and just cleaned up the little that came out OR there's a poo on the loose in my house.....which pretty much guarantees you another poo post!

Girls Day Out

Friday Reed went with Nana and Papa on a special outing for his birthday so I decided to do a special girls day with Paigey! I think I sometimes forget that Reed had almost a year and a half alone with me and Paige was never alone! I love to spend individual time with BOTH of my kids but Paige definitely has gotten less of it!

I had Justin try to take some pics of us before we left but the sun was killing our eyes!




So funny! She's adorable even with her eyes squeezed shut!

One of Paige's favorite places right now is Chuck E Cheese! First she rode the carousel about ten times in a row!

Creepy Teletubbies

She seems to enjoy the rides more than the video games because she did all of those first and many, over and over again! She likes this thing that swings you high up in the air.

Calling Chuck E Cheese

Driving

Uh oh, she's got a hammer and she's not afraid to use it!

She played air hockey with me and actually did pretty good! :)

She loves this freaky mouse! HA HA!

She likes to feel his face!

Dance time!

Behind the wheel

I loved my one on one time with Paigey! It was so nice to have her all to myself and give her my undivided attention! She also did pretty good with Reed getting all the attention at his birthday party AND on his actual birthday so I'll have to remember that every year!

Moving Moments

Yesterday we had a Valentine's Party at my house for my moms group at Sanctuary called Little Lambs. The kids did a craft and I left the extras on the table and hadn't cleaned them up yet. This morning Paige got up there all by herself and made me a Valentine! She brought it to me and said "I made this for you Mommy!" MELT!

"People were bringing little children to Jesus to have him touch them, but the disciples rebuked them. When Jesus saw this, he was indignant. He said to them, 'Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.' And he took the children in his arms, put his hands on them and blessed them." Mark 10:13-16

Paige's Second Birthday Party

Yesterday we celebrated our sweet baby girl's second birthday in Moreo Valley at Celebration Park with family and friends. It's so hard to believe she's going to be two tomorrow! Happy Birthday baby!

The theme of the party was Dora (of course) and she had a Dora outfit and matching flower hair clip!

Cutest thing ever!

Blowing! (She was blowing before we even started singing)

Blowing really hard!

In the end she actually blew it out!

Mmmmm sugar...

She loves eating cupcakes but doesn't love being messy. :(
