Babies' Bedding

Last night we went to Babies R Us and got the girls new bedding. Annabelle's pack n play was WELL used so I wanted to get Gabrielle a new one. I love this one especially because it came with the newborn napper. As a newborn, I remember Annabelle would only sleep comfortably in her car seat and this napper reminds me of that and I thought this would be a better place to nap.

Annabelle's new bedding, which she actually found and picked out all by herself! She had actually never had a toddler bed set for her bed, so we thought last night was a good time. It was so cute because when we got home she was more excited about opening the pack n play for Gabrielle than her own bedding set. However, we told her how excited we were for her to have her very own bedroom set and that we wanted to open that and Gabrielle's could wait until the morning. She was so excited as we put it all together for her!

Tubby for Toes

We got creative tonight. Annabelle had fun playing outside tonight, but as any Mom knows along with that came dirty feet! Since Annabelle had her tubby this morning I didn't want to give her another, so we gave her toes a tubby!  She loved it!

Breaking Belly

Tonight Annabelle and I were talking about Gabrielle. She started by saying, "Gabby's getting big Mommy." I said, "Ya, she'll get a bit bigger and one day she'll want out!" I say this because it is from a book I read to her called, God Gave Us You. It is an excellent book to give to someone who is expecting!

She said, "Mommy, will she break your belly?" It was such an innocent question and I really had to hold back from laughing. I then explained to her that she too was in my belly and she didn't break it. I told her about how I will go to the hospital and that the doctor will help to get Gabby out. I then showed her my belly to show her that it hadn't been broken, and she liked that!

Oh I love the child's mind!

Girly Gymnist

Like most 3 year old, Annabelle, has a TON of energy. My mom often tells me she is just like I was as a child, going from the moment she gets up and doesn't stop until her head hits the pillow! We wanted to get her into an activity to allow her an outlet to get her energy out and gymnastics seemed like a good fit.

The first session was hilarious! Josh and I sat in the chairs watching and laughing to ourselves. She was all over the place. The gym over stimulated her and she had a hard time focusing. She didn't quite get follow the leader and would run out of line to come tell us things like how the other little girl also had a purple leotard. Our favorite moment of the night was when she yelled across the room to us saying, "I just picked a rose!"  Those of you who know us well will get that one!

She has had 2 more sessions since and is getting the routine and how to follow the leader and the teacher. We are so proud of her and it is really cool to see how quickly she is learning things! The best part is she really loves it too and she gets so excited to go!

Puzzling Preschooler

Annabelle's new thing lately has been puzzles. She received some for Christmas and her birthday and she's been doing them over and over again. She has been getting so good that Josh and I started buying her some new ones. Here is a cute video of what happened after I bought her one this Saturday.
