- Lately Em loves to watch Caillou on our ipad and play games on my phone. It's crazy to me that my 2 year old knows how to fully navigate around my iphone and our ipad. She knows where her folder is on my phone and exactly which games are what. Here are the fun games she plays. Her recent fave is the PBS player. She likes watching Curious George on there.
- I ordered my second blog book last week. It will be the one for 2011. It shipped on Monday, so I'm hoping to get it soon. I love having these and I hope Emily and Evan love having them one day too!
- I decided to go through some of Em's old baby clothes to pull out any gender neutral ones that we had. I didn't realize until I started going through the bins, just how many clothes Em has!! I think there are 10 storage bins just for clothes size 0-12 months! Wow! Here's just a taste. This is probably only a quarter of the clothes in the attic.
- My SIL also recently gave Em clothes for spring/summer and some fall/winter ones too. I went through them to pull out the spring and summer stuff. Now that Evan's room can't be our storage room, I had to find somewhere else to store them until it's time for her to wear them. We are sooo thankful to have 2 nieces that pass down a TON of cute clothes to us! (not to mention toys, lots of baby stuff, etc.)
- Em's sheets arrived this week for her big girl bed. I was hoping the quilt would go on sale right after the sheets, but it doesn't look like that's happening, so I think I might just have to suck it up and go buy it at full price. I'd like to get Em's room done, so then I can focus on Evan's room once his bedding and furniture come in.
- Evan's wardrobe is starting to come along. It will definitely not be anywhere close to his sister's. But I figure a boy can get away with less clothes. It's nice having blue stuff in the house. :)
- My cousin Cameron baby-sat for Em on Saturday so Shawn and I could go out to dinner last weekend for V-day. We went to Capital Grille and it was sooo yummy and the service was excellent. The whole time we were there we were referred to as Mr. and Mrs. Baxter (I mean from the valet to the waiter). Shawn ate this up. While we were gone, Em had a blast with Cameron. I'm so thankful we now have 2 babysitters that we can use (Cam and Em's teacher, Chelsea). They are both so great with her and Em loves to have them come. Plus it's nice to not have to rely on our parents to watch her.
- I started reading The Hunger Games last week. I wasn't sure what I would think of them after hearing the story line, but I haven't been able to put it down. I finished the first book. I need to go buy the second one soon. I'm excited about the movie coming out next month.
- I took Emily to her first dentist appointment on Wednesday. I really had no idea what to expect. I had been talking about it all week to her. . .trying to make it sound fun. She did better than I expected. She had no problems opening her mouth for the dentist to look in her mouth. They didn't do a cleaning since they didn't think she would sit still enough for that, but they said her teeth look great. I'm glad we at least started getting her in the routine of going. Oh and she loved the office, with all the toys in it. I'm pretty sure she could have stayed all day and been very happy just playing.
- Here are a few pics from school from Monday. One of Em's friends, Scarlett, had a party at school this week for her birthday and her mom emailed these to me. We're sad we can't make it to her birthday party this weekend - but we'll be celebrating someone else's birthday instead. :)
- And just because this makes me so happy . . . it's supposed to be in the 80's today! I'm not ready for the super hot summer, but this definitely makes me ready for springtime!!
