My Baby is Growing Up!

Today was Alyssa's last day being in preschool. Her class had a cute litte program. All the kids memorized a poem. Alyssa was the first one up, her poem was about a giraffe as you can tell by the picture she is holding up. She said it perfectly she did such a good job. I can't believe how big she is getting. It seems just like yesterday that she was my tiny baby, now she is going to be in kindergarten.

This is the girls before we went to the program. Of course Kalley had to get all dressed up too. After I got them all ready, I was in my room getting ready and I thought Kalley was with Brandon. Well she wasn't, and I couldn't hear her anywhere, so of course she was getting into trouble. Well she was downstairs on the couch with a pen drawing circles on her legs. She was just in trouble for writing on herself like two days ago so I had to give her the lecture again. I wonder how many times kids need to be told something before it sinks in.

Anyway don't the girls look so cute. I know you can't see their hair bows so great in this picture, but they are way super cute! My friend Melissa has a website where she sells these cute bows, it is www.snugglebugbowtique.com. So if anyone wants to check it out, you can see all of her way cute creations. I am so lucky she is my friend, I just take a dress over to her and tell her I need a bow to match. She always does such a great job making my girls look so cute!! So I just want her to know how much I appreciate her. (She babysits for me when I am in a jam also)

What is your two year old doing when she is being too quiet?

Well I know what you are probably thinking. That I am going to tell you some horror story of how Kalley was playing in the bathroom or climbing on top of the cupboards getting into trouble. Not that she hasn't done those things or does those things on a regular basis, but this is a cute story of her being too quiet. Last Saturday I was at work and Brandon was home watching the girls. He said they were all watching TV and Kalley quietly dissapeared, when he realized she was missing and things were too quiet, he went to see what she was into. The door to her bedroom was closed which is not a good sign! He walked in and this is what he found. Kalley was just sitting in the middle of the floor with her favorite princess blanket over her head. She was just sitting there doing nothing. When he asked her what she was doing she replied with her new favorite quote "Let me be!". So Brandon went back to his TV show.

After about five minutes or so he decided to se if she was still being good. This time he found her bundled up in her closet. She had made herself a little bed in the closet. She was in there reading herself books. I think she was trying to tell Brandon something. I think she was trying to put herself down for a nap. I bet if he would have left her alone for awhile she would have fallen asleep in the closet.

The Joys of Potty Training

Well my baby is becoming a big girl! It is about time she showed some interest in using the potty. Even if she has to be naked on the potty, at least I don't have to change as many diapers. Bribery is what makes her keep going, she gets m&m's when she uses the potty. So of course Alyssa gets an m&m when Kalley goes potty too. Alyssa is such a great helper, she will sit and read Kalley potty books while she is sitting on the potty and she claps and dances for her when she goes. I hope this will keep her going so we don't have to buy diapers anymore!

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!

The girls had a great start to St. Patrick's Day by eating a healthy breakfast of green eggs and apple juice from a green box. Then they dressed in their green shirts and posed for a picture. They have been practicing to say "Happy St. Patrick's Day" to everyone they see today!

Just the Girls

Well for Christmas me and girls all got matching pajama's. Everytime they wear theirs, Kalley insists that I wear mine too. So I just had to get a picture of us girls all matching. I just love spending time with my girls, I know they aren't going to be this sweet forever so I better enjoy it while I can.

Naked...is it just a phase?

Well I know 2 year olds go through a naked phase since I have been through it once before. It is just lovely when kids learn that they can take off their own clothes. Kalley has hit this phase as you can see in the pictures, I can't keep clothes on her to save my life. Well I think Alyssa has decided to relive her youth by going through this phase again! She tells me she has to take her clothes off because they are too itchy or because she is too sweaty. Personally I think she just wants more attention.

Little Miss Style

Before...

After!!

Well Alyssa has needed a haircut for awhile now, so I finally took her. For some reason Brandon wanted her to cut it all off. I on the other hand think that she should be able to choose if it is long or short. She still wanted it long so I had Cassie cut a few inches off and put a layer in it, so she would have a little style to it. Well Alyssa went around telling everyone that she was getting her hair styled...she is such a girl!
