"Look Baby"


It's kind of sad to admit this, but we still have paper blinds up in the front windows of the house. This morning I noticed that Peyton was holding her baby doll and was trying to lift the paper blind up so she could look out the window. I pinned the blind up so she could see, and watched as she held her baby up to the window. Just when I thought my heart couldn't handle any more sweetness, I heard Peyton say "Look baby, what do you see outside?" At that, my heart turned into complete mush!! I immediately pulled out my camera to take a picture but little did I know that Miss P was in the mood for modeling today. As I was putting the camera up Peyton said "Mommy take a picture of me." So almost 50 pictures later I have lots of images to remind me of the sweet innocence of my little 2 year old girl......

Big Girl Potty

We were supposed to have Peyton's 2 year pictures taken this morning but the photographer came down with the stomach bug at the last minute so we had to cancel. So when Peyton woke up I was in an extra good mood because we had no plans for the day!!! This meant we could do whatever we wanted (which seems to rarely be the case these days). Well it started off like most days, with me bringing Peyton to lay down in my bed to watch a few minutes of Mickey Mouse when I noticed that her nighttime diaper was still dry. I asked her if she wanted to go potty and she said yes so we quickly made our way to her bathroom because I just knew that if she had held it all night that she MUST have to go any second. We put her little potty seat on the big potty and I lifted her up onto it and even turned the water on for good measure. We read 3 or 4 books and still no tee-tee!!! I wasn't ready to give up yet so I kept stalling trying to keep her entertained so that she would continue to be content sitting on the potty. As we were singing Patty Cake, Patty Cake I heard it....she was going tee-tee on the potty!!! Yay for Peyton!!! I don't know that she really understood what was going on but I was super excited and kept clapping for her and telling her how proud I was. Afterwards, she got off the potty, we washed her hands, and ran to tell daddy the big news. Then she got a special treat of some chocolate and we called GP and Granddad (even though it was nice and early) because we knew that they would be excited to hear the news as well. I know that we still have a long way to go with potty training, but I sure was one proud Momma this morning!
