Valentines weekend

Under a month till Freda's 2nd birthday. Crazy how time flies. Defiance and Independence rule Freda's world. She is a strong little character, challenging almost everything that comes her way.

It was so nice we went to the park.


Playdoh is the new big thing.



Mary Poppins and 101 Dalmations still top the charts...

The First Blatant 'Lie'

She helps herself to everything. It's totally part of this 'all by myself' thing. We are not even allowed in the bathroom when she goes potty. It's awesome. She wears panties full time at school now. Amazing. Not even two yet! TOP THAT! lol, j/k. Back to the story. Mandy caught her with something she was not supposed to have. When Mandy asked her where she got it? She points at me and says "DADDY!"

Oh my. You are loved little mini.

All By Myself

Yesterday, everything was "_______ all by [my]self." she wants to do everything "all by my self." She is so good. The effort i am putting into raising my child shows. We are focusing on the arts and math in an attempt to foster the creative part of her mind. We supply her with endless art and music supplies as well as counting and alphabet games.

And as cool a colorful wooden blocks are, a little Buzz and Woody never killed anyone.

She 'tricked' us for the first time the other day. We were talking about moods and when we got to 'sad', she got really sad, lowered her head, spoke quietly, whined a little rubbed her little eyes. At this point Mandy and I both are actually concerned as we move in to comfort her and find out what is wrong. As we get close she looks up through her bangs with this devious little smile and starts laughing hysterically, we all did. Little trickster.
