Another Weekend Come & Gone and it’s Tuesday Already!

Wow, it’s already here, Monday…oh wait, it’s Tuesday!  Well, at least the week is going fast! :)  I have to admit time has been flying by, but that is what it does when you are having fun.  I have to admit, as frustrating as the terrible two’s are, two is a fun age.  You never know what is going to come out of their little mouths. 

We really didn’t do much all weekend considering we wanted to keep Gracie pretty much quarantined due to her pink eye mess.  By Saturday afternoon, I decided that we could go and get some fresh air, so we headed to the park.  We started out at one park that has more climbing area.  She had so much fun.  At the time we were there, I thought there was a lot of people so we decided to head to another park.  That one was worse.  Gracie really wanted to swing, badly.  So badly, we had a fit…the first time.  Then when we was supposed to be our turn, another mother raced me to the swing and stole it!  I was appalled.  I mean they are toddlers.  How long do they really want to swing?  Not to mention, you need to start teaching  them about time limits etc.  I could go on and on since I felt it was SO rude!  However, Gracie did get a chance to swing, so all was good.  The only part about going to the park is leaving it.  Gracie did not handle that part too well.  She is getting to be quite the fit thrower!  She was all smiles while we were at the park!

Well, let me tell you about little miss Gracie.  This girl comes up with something new everyday.  I could seriously type a little midget blog at least twice a day with her little sayings, stories, or just plain cuteness, but I will spare you…maybe!  Either way here is a taste of what we have been experiencing lately!

• Potty training is looking up.  As long as we have her potty out she will go and use it, usually without us having to remind her.  We haven’t had to do the whole naked thing to encourage her either, she will take off her clothes and diaper when she wants to go.  Well, on Saturday she told us twice that she had to potty.  We encouraged her to go use her potty.  Apparently this isn’t what she wanted because she went and poo-ed in the corner when she got tired of sitting on the potty!  Then she went to Matt and said “Daddy, I pooped.”  She had to show it off of course!  It was so funny.  Another potty training tidbit, not only does she clap hands and yell “yeah” when someone else potties, but she calls pee peep.  We here a lot of “I peeped!”
• She is all about her babies still.  This is not a trend I think is going to fade.  Although she has learned how to “wrap them” and rock them to nighty night.  She pats them until she things they are asleep then throws them on the floor (literally) and covers them up with a blanket.
• She has started to sing.  Just tonight we ran to Target and I got serenaded all the way through with “Twinkle Twinkle Lil’ Tar” and “ABC.”
• When she blows kisses she uses both hands now and is very exaggerated about it.  It is so sweet!!!! 

• Her new favorite game is either “Tickle” or “Ring around the Rosie”
• She loves to help in the kitchen.
• We love to purple (most would call this coloring).  Usually, Matt and Gracie purple while I am cooking dinner.

Ok, so I think I have caught you up, but I am sure I will remember something and have to blog tomorrow!  :)  We are spending most of the weekend in this weekend.  Matt and I agreed that we wanted to spend Valentine’s Day with Gracie.  We love date nights, but we love special family nights with our girl more!  Not to mention, we don’t want to fight the crowds at the usual hot spots! :) 

Enjoy the rest of the week and remember tomorrow is hump day!!!
