Her new thing

This is what she always wants to do now! Mommy, can we play a game? Between Adam's new iTouch and my computer, this kid is going to be the biggest nerd!

Don't forget, my little nerd is not even 3 yet!!

Crisp walk

We went for a walk yesterday.

Here's my cheeseball with a veggie stick in her mouth.

Making Room

We were at Costco last week when she saw some toys that literally took her breath away. It was so cute, she looked up and said, 'Wow!' in a breathless voice. There was a kitchen, a doll house, and a Little Mommy set. The kitchen and doll house were pretty cool, but the Little Mommy set was the best. It was affordable, and it's totally 'her' right now. She loves her babies, and loves taking care of them. The set includes a rocking bassinet, a highchair, and a stroller. It comes with a baby.....to add to the 6 she carts around! So, we talked about it and decided she needs to give away a lot of her toys first. She was so genuinely sad when we left without the set, she cried the saddest, sobbing cry. My mom was at Costco the day after our visit and picked up the set.

My sister, Juli, said it right when she said it's harder for the mommy to give away the cute first toys that her first born played with. Really, Renee was begging us to give away her Dora toys, but it made me sad to do it! So, we went through her toys on Sunday and cut out about half, if not more. Her basket of Dora toys is no longer overflowing, we're giving away all of the People toys, and cut out a lot of her random toys. It sure is nice, and Adam loves it! She knows, now that her toys are on their way out, that it's time for her new baby set. We've told her she'll have to wait for her birthday (Decemba' 20th), to which she whines a little telling us she doesn't want a birthday. To an almost 3 year old I'm sure Decemba' 20th is forever away, but she'll be fine.....and I know she'll remember all about the set too!

Before, and I don't think I even got all of the toys in the picture!

After, a level basket of Dora toys, and only 1 large Dora house.

Random toys (in her bedroom), all contained in the basket!
