SHOWER TIME!
I have tried everything... bubbles, Dora foam soap, new bath toys, a ducky tub, etc...my little bug has decided that she does NOT like baths any more. Screams the entire time she is in there. Occasionally, I just pull her into the shower with me and she has done really well. Now that school is back in session, the morning shower with mom thing is just not quite as efficient. So, this past week, I started putting her in the shower by herself and washing her from the side of the tub. The result... she LOVES it!!
Now, she only cries when I tell her it is time to get out!! Don't you just love the smell of clean baby, especially all warm and lotioned up after a bath/shower? Babylicious!
STATE FAIR
The State Fair is in full swing and we made our annual trek there this past weekend. Little Bug was not cooperative at all and was clingy and crabby the entire time... except when she rode her first big girl ride all by herself!
This looks like a Candy Land Choo Choo...
Morgan and Grant were in their normal mode of annoying the everlasting heck out of each other, but managed to ride a couple rides and even crack a smile!!
Irritated at Mom for pulling the camera out - LOL!
There it is... the elusive smile!
Bug was M-A-D that she was not able to go on the swings with them!! Proof that this child is not always smiling!! Rather, she has turned into a whiny toddler!
FROG BOOTS!
OK, it is no secret that our family has an attraction to frogs. Sophie already knows how to work it along with her obsession for shoes and begged to try on these frog boots at my favorite store this weekend. Not only did she refuse to take them off, but I could not resist buying them! What child is not fully dressed without these??
RIBBIT!
And finally... a little art time this evening with Big Brother. Sophie loves to do whatever anybody else is doing. This was a cute moment I just had to capture!
BOO BOO BUNNY
Not long after that serene moment... she fell off the back of her slide and got a nice boo boo on her forehead. She was a good girl and let me hold the ice pack there for about 10 minutes... this is POST ice. Nice goose egg, huh?
And this is my favorite time of the day... right before I go to bed each night, I go in to check on each child. What is special about this picture is that both my girls love Elmo. Morgan slept with her Elmo every night until she was in the double digits. Last night, Sophie chose Elmo (and her little bottle of lotion) to snuggle with. This is how I found her...
"Ni Ni" (as little Bug says)!!
