Jumping Party-March

We had the best time today at the Jumping Party Playdate. Zoee was so ambitious climbing all the way to the top of the HUGE slide and sliding down all by herself. She did it over and over. Her li'l face was so flushed and priceless as she slid. She conked out afterwards from sheer exhaustion. She went until she couldn't go anymore. I love her for being so brave.

Zoee's 2nd Birthday Party

We had Zoee's 2nd Birthday Party yesterday. Our plans were to have a bouncer at the park and eat cake under the pavilion. But because it was so cold and windy..we had to nix our plan and go with Plan "B". We decided to let the kids play a little while at the park (all bundled up, of course) and then we headed to McDonald's Playland for some fun. Zoee had a blast and was so exhausted when we got home, but still wanted to open and play with her toys. So that's what we did. I can't believe my li'l girl is already 2.

Lovin' Bubbles and Traci

After color/highlighting/cutting Traci's hair..this is the finished do! She loves it and I think it's so shiny and pretty.















Zoee loves my friend, Traci. Traci was over last night because I was doing her hair, and she blew some bubbles for Zoee and she absolutely loved them.

She gets it from her MAMA!

THE WILD HAIR!! It's out of control some days and cracks me up! We both look like we have cockatoos on top of our heads when we wake up in the morning.
Zoee is growing up so big and this her last week as a 1 year old. (BOO HOO..a little sad about it)
She is doing wonderful on her potty training. She has the concept but sometimes doesn't pull down her undies when she is actually sitting on the toliet..so we have an accident there..and sometimes she gets to playing or if I'm busy doing something (cleaning, cooking, etc...) I think she forgets to come and tell me that has to go. So we are still having a few accidents..but for the most part..she is doing so great with it and you can just tell how proud she is of herself..and we are so proud of her, as well. I still can't believe we have a daughter who is potty training. WOW! She loves to drink out of big cups now..and feed me ice. HA HA!

Hot Pink Hot Rod

Zoee has had great times in her Hot Pink Hot Rod..now if she can only figure out how to steer..ha ha. She loves to drive it..but runs into everything. She loves for Mickey and Minnie to cruise along with her.. It's adorable! Mom, the pic of Zoee rubbing her nose happens to be just what we do. (Who would of thought this is a hereditary trait??) Does this mean she's going to have a ball on the end of her nose, as well?? HA HA! Oh, well if it is..cause she's the cutest li'l booger.

Family Fun Night

Tonight, Zoee pottied in a public restroom for the first time since we started our potty training journey. It was the first attempt and it was a success. She just went in there a like a big girl (me telling her not to touch anything..ha ha) and I held her up on the potty and she did her business, not only once at Mr. Gatti's but also at Kaleidascoops, also. I couldn't be a prouder mom!

NO OOPSIES or UH-OHS HERE!

First outing after doing the 3-day potty training and "NO ACCIDENTS"!!
WAY TO GO BIG GIRL!!! I even introduced her to a public restroom. A gross one at that. You really don't realize how gross they are until you have to desanitize the place for your kiddo..HA HA! The finger painting made her thirsty..cause she gulped her cup down. I just knew she was going to go potty in her carseat on the way home cause we had to make a few stops. But she proved me wrong!! As soon as we got home, I asked her if she needed to go potty and she said, "Yes". Took her to the restroom and she peed a mighty pee..ha ha! She was actually holding it and let out a big "AHHH" at the end. I'm so proud of her.

And after today, I really do believe that the 3-day potty training does work. Thank goodness I stuck with it and didn't give up on it. I'm so happy, but my li'l girl is now becoming a "BIG" girl! (Sniff Sniff)
