Top 5 Saturday Laughs: 4-13-13

It's been a beautiful week! We've had several days in the upper 70's and low 80's along with tons of sunshine! The kids and I have enjoyed playing outside. Tyler has even been practicing his spelling words on the sidewalk! I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend!

5.  Last week was Spring Break and I took advantage of the extra time home to start round 2 of potty training. Bailey has done really well and even went 3 straight days both day and night this week with no accidents! But all this 'your a big girl!' and clapping stuff has really started to go to her head. All of a sudden she thinks she needs/can do EVERYTHING by herself.

4.  I took Bailey to the store to buy her some new 'big girl undies' and she picked out My Little Pony. She wanted them on as soon as we got home. It took her a minute to really look at them but once she did, her eyes got as big as quarters and she said 'WOW!' while pointing to the pony and smiling!

3.  We've been watching Splash on TV. If you haven't seen it yet, it's a reality show where celebrities and former sports stars compete against each other diving. Last week they partner dove. 2 of the ladies stepped up to interview before their dive and Tyler said "I like those 2 girls!"

2.  I cleaned the hermit crab cage out and left it on the table in the dining room for a few minutes. Bailey climbed up on a chair to peek at them. I told her not to touch because they would bite (I know, I know, they pinch. But she wouldn't understand that!) She spent the next 10 minutes telling them "No, no bite puppies."

1.  Tyler and I were watching the Tigers play on TV. He said in a very series voice "Mom, sometimes my baseball team is on TV too. We're going to be on TV Saturday."

5.  Bailey loves to play chase, especially around the dinning room table. But, she's a fast little stinker. So the only way to catch her is to stop mid-run, turn around, and go the other way. The other day I was doing just that when she stopped mid-run and went the other way. And now my game is ruined. She.figured.it.out!

4.  Tyler decided he wanted pizza rolls for dinner tonight. Fine by me, no cooking neccessary (other than a few seconds in the micro of course). While doing dishes, I hear, 'Hey, you stole that!' and turned around to find her crawling across the table happily holding one of Ty's rolls.

3.  Bailey thinks the baby at daycare is her very own living baby doll. Enough said.

2.  On the first day of t-ball coach told Tyler to go get a bat and helmet. Instead of going to the dugout like everyone else, he ran off the field and over to the playground (which was only a few feet away) to find me and desperately request for a helmet and bat. Only my boy...

1.  Brandon was tucking Bailey in while I tucked Tyler in Wednesday. He told her he loved her and she said 'wuv too!' for the first time (I heard it too, so I know he wasn't telling stories). I went in and told her I loved her, her reply, 'Bye!'

Have a good weekend!

5.  There is a new baby at daycare. When I went in the house to pick Bailey up on afternoon, she came running over to me saying 'baby, shhhhh!"

4.  Bailey is determined to grow up WAY too fast. She's decided this week that she is too big for sippy cups. When she spills a little water out of her 'big girl' cups she proudly announces "Cup pee Mommy, cup pee!"

3.  Bailey learned a new word last weekend, owie. It was cute, until Monday when she woke up sick. She spent the entire day complaining owie and pointing to random body parts. Her toes, her cheeks, her ears, her belly, a finger, her hair......

2.  Tyler didn't make honor roll this quarter because he of his writing. He hates anything that involves fine motor and always has. I was talking to him about the importance of using finger spaces in between his words. He told me he did use finger spaces. I said his teacher told me he didn't to which he responded "She must be blind because I use them!" When did he become a teenager?

1.  We have the best conversations when driving to school in the morning!

Tyler:  Mom, next time when we go to the beach can I bring a red crayon?

Me:  Why?

Tyler:  So I can draw a red X on the sand and find a buried treasure like the pirates do.

Me:  I don't think a crayon will write on the sand.

Tyler:  Well if it works on the sidewalk it should work on the sand.

5.  Bailey climbed on the couch one night and accidentally hit me in the head with her head. I rubbed my head and said ow. She apparently didn't want me to have attention because she took my hand off of my head, told me no, and then rubbed her own head and fake cried. 

4.  Going along with #5:  Bailey must have thought the accidental head butt was funny because she then purposefully head butted me another 20 times each time yelling at me for complaining that it hurt.

3.  We started potty training last weekend. The best parts of potty training, waving goodbye to the pee as mommy flushes it and slapping the foamy hand soap between your hands to watch it fly all over the bathroom.

2.  On day 2 of potty training, Bailey peed on the floor. She made sure we all knew it too, every few minutes or so for the rest of the day she had to walk over the spot touch it and say pee.

1.  Tyler was trying to convince Grandma to come and get him so he could spend the night at their house. She said she would but had to wait for Papa to get out of work because she didn't want to make the drive all by herself. His solution "Grandma, just bring Maya (the dog). She's your best friend!"

5.  Checking out at the store takes FOREVER right now. Bailey has to hand each item directly to the cashier and say "Here you go!" every time. It's a good thing she's cute and I usually only take her to fun girly stores like Hobby Lobby and Michael's where they appreciate cute toddlers!

4.  If you come to my house be on full alert! If Bailey isn't attacking your toes (see last weeks post) she's identifying your body parts. And by identifying I really mean sticking her finger in your eye, up your nose, in your ear or pulling your hair all while excitedly squealing what it is she is touching.

3.  We got an early start on the tantrum throwing, they began at 4 months. Now, at 20 months we have pretty well mastered them. The latest, the running man. Pick Bailey up when she doesn't want to be picked up and she will immediately begin running through the air.

2.  I woke up last Sunday coughing. Tyler came bursting through the door, ran to my side and put his hand on my forehead. He then told Daddy "I think she has a fever. She needs Tylenol!"

1.  I got peed on. Yup, that's right and not by the toddler either. I was sitting on the edge of the bathtub getting the water ready when Tyler burst in to go to the bathroom. Apparently watching mom check the water temperature is much more important than aiming... Come on kid, you're almost 6!

5.  Bailey was throwing her usual tantrum last night because she didn't want us to put her PJ's on. She ran away toward the front door (which happens to have a tile floor) and threw herself on the floor. Plans changed once she realized how cold tile floor is on a bare belly!

4.  We still have the paci. I just can't take it away yet. But we are down to just 2 because she keeps loosing them. I got her up one morning and there was only 1 in her crib. I spent all day keeping an eye out for the missing paci but never found it. The next morning I picked up her cabbage patch baby and found the missing paci as well as several legos had been stuffed into the doll's pjs.

3.  Tyler got a DS for Christmas and will not put it down. Bailey has confiscated his old Mobigo so she can play copycat. When the DS comes out, she finds the Mobigo. Wherever Tyler is playing it, Bailey is right next to or behind him.

2.  Socks have become an obsession. No one can wear them or they will be removed by a very stubborn toddler. What makes it worse? Once your socks have been removed, she then finds it completely necessary to look through all of your toes at the sock fuzz and say "Ewwwww!"

1.  Tyler randomly walked past Bailey and hit her. I said "Don't hit her. She isn't your own personal punching bag!" His response, "Well she looks like it!"

Have a great weekend!

5.  Tyler got new camouflage pj' s for  Christmas. Every night we now have to play the where did Tyler go game...

4.  Bailey got a toy vacuum cleaner for Christmas. It doesn't pick up any dirt, but it sure is a great torture device for the dog...

3.  Someone found the water dispenser on the fridge, and the water dispenser is now locked.

2. I was sitting on the couch one night and got up to go get something. When I came back Bailey was sitting in my spot with an ear to ear grin. She said "Mommy pot!" When I tried to sit back down I was told to "Moo!" Little stinker!

1.  Tyler was pretending to be Santa like Charlie does in The Santa Clause. He stops after a few minutes and asked "Hey mom, do Santa's reindeer have to go pee?" To which I replied, "Well are they alive?" Tyler thinks and says"Yup! Oh man, that reindeer just pooped all over that house!"

This has been a wonderful week of spending quality time with my kids!

 

5.  Bailey has fallen in love with my light up snowman. She kisses him goodnight every night and every morning drags one of us over to him to plug him in.

 

4.  I searched for 4 months and in 3 different states to find a blonde hair, blue eyed Cabbage Patch baby doll. I gave up and bought Bailey a few other things instead. By change, Tyler and I were in a local Target and they had 2 of them, but of course I couldn't buy it because he was with me. I went back a few days later and managed to snag the last one. I was glad I did! Here's her reaction:

"Oh Wow!"

This doll NEVER leaves her side!

 

3.  Tyler tied a blanket around his neck and played super hero.

 

2.  Bailey stunk. I grabbed a diaper and the box of wipes and sat on the floor to change her. She grabbed both of them from me ran to Grandma (who HATES to change diapers), put them in her lap and layed down on the floor in front of her. I didn't complain!

 

1.  Bailey:  "Ewwwww!"

Me or Brandon or Tyler:  "What's ewwww?"

Bailey:  Grunts and farts or poops. Then laughs.

I could have sworn the doctor told me she was a girl....

 

Happy New Year!
