Potty Training Time...

For those who have or are going to potty train, you all know my experiences.  Take the child to the potty, request for them to potty, then not even one nano second after they go back to playing, it's:  "Mommie, I went poopie in my panties."  But to my luck, my child is not a messy pooper, if that is possible.  Those of you with a child like mine know what a messy pooper is because if you child actually has a messy poop, you gag at the thought and sight of cleaning it up.  See, she has always been one to release, shall we call them, "nuggets."  Something you always thing, everytime you change her, "How in the hell did that large object come out of her?"  I wonder, am I not giving her enough fruit and veggies?  Basically, "That just doesn't seem right!"  I find out though that I am not the only person with a child who has potty problems:

I really am a neat freak...

For those who know me, you know I am pretty picky about how things are placed and organized so when my daughter's room looks like this, I have to think, "Who's kid is this?"  Actually, she is very anal about:  where the dolls and stuffed animals are laying on the floor, making sure each and every one of them is covered up, and letting you know to "shhhh, the babies are sleeping."  I don't know where she has picked these "nesting" habits up because I swear I didn't ever lay her randomly on the floor and cover her head to toe with blankets, towels, or wash clothes.  She is such the big girl now.  And see her bed in the photos, I'm thinking of moving her into a big girl bed because it's about time and A CRIB ON WHEELS IS A DANGEROUS WEAPON!

Trying to be like the best...

...(hint, hint), ME!  Photo #1:  Here is the bean, dressed in one of my millions of pairs of shoes.  And yes, before you ask, I did say millions.  So maybe I am a exaggerating a bit, but my dad's nickname for me has been Imelda Marcus for many years.  Ok, but back to the point.  Mal is cute at first, until she starts clunking around the hardwood floors.  I pity the gals downstairs. Photo #2:  I was putting away laundry and Mallory took this pair of socks, which are now the new fashion trend for toddlers...thigh high leg warmers.  All the kids are wearing them.  I guess I should stop pulling my socks up all of the way and wearing them around the house or my daughter is going to be sporting that style at school.

Her First Boyfriend...

This is cute...for now!

Sixteen years (preferably give, rather than, take a few) from now, opinions might change!

This is little Miss Mallie with her current boyfriend, Corbin.  Mal is something of a cradle robber because Corbin just turned two a few weeks ago while she is 2 years, 5 months.  He is more in love with her though, of course, and carries her photo around the house saying "My Mallory".  So sweet.  Don't tell Corbin, but rumor around the daycare is that "John John" is her playground sweetie.

Monkey See, Monkey Do!

This ought to teach us something...

My dearest, and sometimes disgusting, daughter will copy anything.  Here, she is imitating Kevin (at the Indy Children's Museum).  Personally, I would like her not to be putting everything in/on her mouth, especially public items.  But hey, this is the gal that would eat a cracker off of the floor in the shoe department of Target.  Did I say would, I meant, DID!  Needless to say, we watch everything we say and do now...or at least I do.

Too Big?

She used to sleep in a playpen when we are at Kev's.  So, what do you think our first clue was that she is growing?  Needless to say, now she sleeps on couch pillows.  Of course, now we hear the pitter patter of little feet running in and out of the room.  I was convinced it was a ghost because there isn't anyone there when I go look.  She's sneaky already.

Look What I Did!

Ok, so check out her feet.  She is quite proud that she put her shoes on herself.  Should I tell her they are on the wrong feet?  Of Course!  Does she listen?  Of Course Not!  When I pick her up from school, she usually has her shoes on the wrong feet, but boy is she proud.

Our July trip to Indianapolis

We went to Indy for the night and took the bean to the Indianpolis Children's Museum.  We all had a pretty good time.  Think that Mal liked the glass elevator in our hotel better than anything.  The museum was fun except being with a million kids makes you rethink the desire for more.  Kidding!  We were glad to leave with our one and get some peace and quiet.  Here they are in the "Mummy Tomb".

Our Trip in April to Denver

Great Trip!  Kev was out on business so I flew out.  In case you were wondering, the Rockies did win this game.  Was a nice break, but boy do those beers start going down a bit too easy.
