Loving her Sense of $tyle








Just some random pictures I thought you might enjoy. I love the Cinderella skirt with the Belle shoes and her purple outfit. She is too funny. Earlier in the day you can see she had on her Cinderella slippers, she insists by the way that they are "slippers" not shoes, I guess because of the whole "glass slipper" thing. She takes her fairy tale information very seriously. Anyway for whatever reason when she found the skirt to put on later, she had to put the Belle shoes on instead. Like I said, too funny. I love the picture of her reading my book, she wants so badly to be able to read. She can now write her name and many other letters so I have a feeling she may get to be an early reader. Goodness knows we have tried to instill the love of reading in her, and it seems to be working. She is such a little sponge right now and wants to learn everything as quickly as she can. I'm often amazed at the vocabulary she spits back out at me.

I wish I could think of some of the funny stuff she has said or done this week, as there is always something, but for some reason I'm a bit brain fried right now. Lack of sleep I suspect. Little Miss was up half the night and poor Daddy had to turn around and go into work this morning. Hopefully tonight is better for all of us. She had quite the day all the way around yesterday.. two time outs for the same offense. Rare, but it does happen when she lets her temper get the best of her. She got mad at me because I came in here to look something up on the PC while talking to Grampa, so to let me know that she wanted my undivided attention she started to hit my chair and desk, asked her to stop, nothing doing, so off to time out we went. She took her time out and when the beeps went off on the timer I asked her if she was done. Yes, apologized and on we went. Relatively simple right? Well later on she got mad at me again because she wanted to get to Daddy, who was unavailable, and proceeded to cross her arms, stomp her foot, and then came and hit my desk again (this time with a card instead of her hand I'd say she learned from that one earlier in the day). Same thing, back to her room for timeout and set the timer.. (in the mean time Daddy is commenting that it's unfair that she will stay in time out for me but not him, interesting huh?) at this point I informed her again that hitting is not going to be tolerated and that every single time she did it she would go in time out, the outcome would not change. This time she nodded repeated it back to me and again said she was sorry. So far so good today. Like I said it's rare that happens and even rarer two separate occurrences in one day. Hopefully it remains rare.

We are very excited today and planning a weekend in Orlando in the near future, where are you ready? We'll get to meet Kim and Jaiden!!! Most of you know Kim and I have been friends and email buddies while we waited to go to China and followed each others blogs along the way. I'm so excited that we will finally get to meet her and Jaiden. We are not going to do Disney that weekend as we think it will be too much for Devyn just arriving here a week or so before we go and then a trip to Maine right after but we are going to go down and maybe check out Seaworld or Busch Gardens and hang out with them for a couple of days! YAY!! So a very busy time coming up for us indeed but all good.
