Caillou free day

This afternoon I decided I wanted a Caillou free day. That little cartoon kid drives me crazy. But Elsa loves him. She was quite whiny about it. Evidenced by this photo I got of her. 

The funniest part of this small battle was Elsa grabbing my phone, flipping through the apps to get to netflix, and then when I said no she told me to Shoosh. Silly kid. 

How time flies

This year my cousins' daughter Erica turned 16 and their younger daughter Kaitlyn turned 13. I was Erica's nanny from when she 4 months until she was 8 months the summer of 1998. I cannot believe she is now 16! She has grown into a beautiful young lady, smart, and very athletic. Kaitlyn has also turned into a wonderful young lady. I'm so proud of both of their accomplishments.

Feed the baby

Someday Elsa may want kids of her own. Or maybe she won't. But she sure does love practicing by feeding her bebe (baby). 

Fishes

Elsa enjoys feeding the fishes with her daddy. With it being cold they don't need to be fed often. She has been quite disappointed. So today we went over to them to say hi. "Hi fishes!" Today was the first time I heard her say "fishes." 

Bubbles Fun!

I should have my mom card revoked. I have no idea why it has taken me 21.5 months to give my daughter her first bubble bath. Seriously? How was I depriving my kid of such fun? She fascinated with her hidden feet. 

Finger sucking

Strange title for a blog post, but so relevant. Elsa gave up her pacifier at a very early age. About 6 months old. She traded it for her two fingers, upside down, and somewhat backwards. 

With her free hand she usually rubs the satin of her blankie. 

Tonight she decided her bebe (baby) needed a finger as well. Sharing is caring. 

Wouldn't change anything

There was a time in my past where I would sleep in until 10am on the weekends. Then Steve cane into my life and I slept in until 8am. Then the cutest little tiny person came into my life and I slept in until she let me. Today was 7:20am. Love this family! 

Gym time

Every 2nd Friday night of the month our local gymnastics facility holds a family fun night. We have found this to be quite a fun time. Elsa goes nuts running, jumping , sliding and playing with her friends. Here are a few blurry photos from tonight.
