What the Stylish Wear....

...when potty training:

A winter hat and Thomas the train underwear.

Is it believable that she picked this outfit out by herself?

Fingerpainting

Lee and I used naptime to paint some pictures (an anniversary activity every other year). Lizzy woke up early and decided to join us.

Did you know finger paint smells good?

She painted the paper a little, but found body paintings more interesting and stylish. (Link)

Overheard...

...at the grocery store:

My slightly exasperated husband: "I can't take Lizzy to the candy aisle. She keeps grabbing everything regardless of price!"

Reasons I love my little one

First off, she can rock any outfit.

Secondly, tonight she was given the 10 minutes to bedtime warning, then asked if she wanted chased. Instead she yelled CLEAN UP, then proceeded to truly cleanup. Toys, trash, and anything left on the floor made it's way quickly into the toy bin.

As Lee prepared to chase her, she ran to the upstairs yelling SLEEP. When asked if she wanted a book to read, she jumped in bed and laid down asking for a paci.

I love this girl. If our next kid isn't this obliging I won't know what to do!!

PS: She had spent a good 45 minutes being chased and tickled prior to this, so she was pretty tired. Still, she rocks. :D

Sharing is Caring

Moral of the Day: If you really love someone, you'll offer them first dibs on your food.

If their mouth is sewn shut, you can give them a big hug instead.

Who Stole the Meatball from the Meatball Jar?!

Some kids like to steal cookies from the cookie jar.

Lizzy decided the jar was a better place to put meatballs.

And proper etiquette demands that you "drink" the meatball.

Baking the Day Away

I love to help bake.

Scratch that...I love to eat flour.
