1st sleepover

Last night Skylar had her 1st sleepover. J, R & G stayed over. They played dress up for hours, ate dinner, had ice cream, took a bubble bath & had story time. The girls were having too much fun. They stayed up 2 hrs past their bedtime so we put them in different rooms & they were both asleep within 5 minutes. Skylar was so happy to see that everyone was still there in the morning.

Feelings

Skylar is really starting to show her feelings. If we're out and another kid is crying she always has to give them a hug & a pat on the back. The other night after her bath was over she didn't want to get out so I told her she had to get Piggy because he was crying. She got out & ran to her room & said "Piggy...crying?...oh silly piggy" Yesterday I spilled coffee all over the counter & I fussed pretty loudly. Skylar said "Are you ok Mommy?" I told her that I was ok & she said "oh silly Mommy" When Taz barks she says "What's wrong Tazzy boy?" This morning I caught her talking to her stuffed animals. I saw her go up to one & say "Hi rabbit, I'm Skylar" She says her own name a lot now...but can't quite say Skylar so she calls herself "Tyla" She loves to watch videos and look at pictures of herself. I was making the bed in the guest room & she walked by the mirror & said "hi Skylar!" She just gets cuter every day!

Spring is coming

It's been a really nice week so far. We've had some warmer days and the flowers are blooming so we know spring is coming! On Sunday we visited Crazy Crumbs and played outside all day. Today we went to the toddler story time at the Aquarium. They had a snake & a rat for the kids to pet. We sang songs, learned about the letter "M" heard a story about a beaver & saw a puppet show! We can't wait to go back.

Marti Gras party

Every Saturday we get together w/ some friends who are also going through a deployment. This past Saturday we had a Marti Gras party at "crazy crumbs" house. The kids had a blast. We've been keeping busy. We just signed up for the "just two's" program at our local library. It starts in two weeks.

New habits good and bad

Skylar is really growing up. She's starting to form sentences, count & she knows a few letters. She really knows her colors. She has started a very bad habit. She picks her nose & eats it. Yuck! The more I tell her no the more she does it while laughing. I hope this stops soon. Last night when I put her to bed after she said "night night" she said "I love you" It was wonderful! It makes up for all the tantrums she's pulled.
