To DaddyO, Thank You Very Much for sleeping peacefully and quietly until the SECOND I put my head down on my pillow! Trying to sleep with your deafening snores is impossible! Trying to wake you up and move you to a different position is almost as difficult. Can't you control your breathing when you're sound asleep? *wink*  ♥ya!

To DaddyO, Thank You Very Much for ensuring that there is one pair of your black socks in the laundry basket for WHITE clothes only. EVERY WEEK! How in the world do most of your socks manage to make their way in to the "darks" basket except for the one sad pair that is at great risk of being bleached?

To DaisyE, Thank You Very Much for removing the darling outfit that I put on you and exchanging it for this:

Not so cute, Babe! And definitely not appropriate for 100degree heat! The tooth flosser is an attractive touch, though!

WW - This is How Daisy and I Play...

"Let's Pretend You're Still a Baby"

I swear, she puts herself in there!

TST - The Record Breaker

It's back, it's back, it's back! True Story Tuesday! Yay!!!

________________

Daisy is determined to break all family records for major milestones. She has reached most milestones before any of my other kids. She doesn't seem to care at all that I want her to STAY a baby!!

On her first birthday, we thought it would be helpful, to get her a walker. You know, help her figure out the whole "walking" thing! ON the very day she received the present, she started doing this:

Luckily the walker doubles as a baby stroller!

For her second birthday, we bought Daisy a little training potty. Wishful thinking since the previous family record for being potty trained is a few months past 3 years old. See, I do not enjoy potty training and I procrastinate until it becomes embarrassing as long as possible! I also find it easier to potty train when my kids can communicate better with me. Good excuse?

I wasn't expecting much the first time Daisy tried out her potty. And although she felt right at home on her "throne", she did not produce any excitement.

Later that day, we brought the potty downstairs so she could show the entire family. After everyone left she wanted to test it out again. I was absolutely shocked a few minutes later when the potty started playing a magical tune that meant something had just happened IN the potty. She stood up and sure enough there was pee pee in her potty! We were shocked and sooooooooo excited! We were clapping and giving her high fives and she loved every minute of it! All of this ON her 2nd birthday!

Since then, we have been having diaper free test runs in the mornings. Every time she sits on the potty she is able to "go". She was doing really well last week with only one minor slip-up when she peed on Ashton's bed. She came out of his room and was just as happy as she is when she goes on her potty.

So it looks like she is going to shatter the potty training record!

My Baby's Day

Well, I tried! I was unsuccessful at holding back time.
My Baby turned two.
We had a ton of fun celebrating our littlest sweetheart!!!!

I laid out her presents like it was Christmas.

(don't hurt yourself rolling your eyes at me!)

Miss Daisy squeeled in delight with every present that she opened! Her way of saying "Thank you SO much! I LOVE this!!"

A few decorations. I got the tissue paper pom pom idea from Jodee who then led me to Martha Stewart.

The Cakes. I love getting these little cakes! We got two different flavors and didn't have TONS of leftovers.

The Little Miss waiting patiently for her cake. Wondering why everyone is singing to her!

She blew the candles out all by herself!

She was very dainty and lady-like while eating her cake. Hardly any mess on her face and nothing on her clothes!

Happy Birthday My Darling Girl!
