Having lots of fun

Even though Skylar's allergies are in full force she's still having fun. We went to the Aquarium this week & since it was a nice day we walked along the nature trail. We also did a little shopping at Target & found this great hat in the dollar section!

fun times

Here are some recent pictures of my sweet girl. Included are pics of her w/ her BFF Crazy Crumbs & some pics from the park. Right now her favorite thing is the slide. While we were at the park a smaller girl was in front of her going up the steps to the slide. Skylar said "Hi baby, I'm Skylar" She is finally starting to show an interest in the potty. She wants to sit on it but I'm still waiting for something to happen. She loves to pick out her own clothes. She also needs to dress piggy & make him use the potty. I just started her on Flintstone vitamins since she is so active & eats very little. She has become a super picky eater but still loves milk. Right now her favorite foods are ham & rice krispies.

updates

Skylar is learning so much lately. She knows so many words now that I can't even keep count. She loves to play & smiles & giggles all day long. We've really been enjoying our Mommy daughter time together. I just posted some pictures of her Easter dress & Easter basket. The basket was custom made through a company called Baffin bags. It really turned out so cute. I found the adorable dress for $9 at Knapsack, a children's consignment shop near her tumbling class.

USNS ARCTIC deployment

Larry (Skylar's Daddy Daddy) is deployed on the USNS Arctic. He is the OIC (Officer in Charge) of a DET of 30 people. He misses Skylar so much & tries to talk to her on the phone when ever he can. He will be gone for 6 months & is seeing the world. Here are some of his pictures from Italy, Greece, Africa, and by the Rock of Gibraltar.

my poor little buddy

Skylar had another trip to the ER last Monday. She was having breathing issues, fever,vomiting & was dehydrated since she refused to eat or drink. The DR's were wonderful. She had to have an IV & was like a whole different kid after that. She had lots of tests & they finally decided it was most likely a bad stomach virus. She also has been having allergy symptoms since all of these trees & flowers are now blooming. They put her on Claritin along with the Flovent she's been taking for asthma for the past 3 months. She won't be on these meds forever & will most likely outgrow these things. She had her library program again today. Ms. Amy is her teacher & she is wonderful. Today we sang songs, learned about the letter Z, heard a story about a trip to the Zoo & at the end the teacher got out a bubble machine & gave all of the kids a zebra coloring page to take home. It's been cold & rainy for the past couple of weeks & we're looking forward to some nice spring weather.

Just twos library program

Today was the first day and the Kempsville Library program was fantastic. It's just like preschool. The teacher is really nice. We did quite a few songs w/ dance moves. We sat in a circle on an alphabet carpet. Skylar would not sit but she loved the carpet & was interested in everything. They teach a new letter every week & it's delivered in a stuffed train. Today we learned "F" Sky kept going to the board & saying "look Mommy F" We sing a song to say hello & the teacher brings out stuffed animals. Sky loved this part. Then a bumble bee puppet goes up to each child & asks them to say their name. Skylar knows how to do this but played shy. The teacher read a pop up book about a frog. She said she understands if they don't sit still since they're only 2 year olds. Sky was very well behaved. She did one funny thing. The teacher invited all the kids to sit on the floor for the story. Sky tapped a little boy on the shoulder & said " I get you" & started running...like her & Daddy Daddy like to do. It was so cute. They get homework every week...just a coloring sheet about the book we read & the new letter they learned. If they remember to bring it the next week,it gets hung up during class & they get a sticker & then get to take the page home.The program is 8 wks ( we skip 1 wk/they are closed on 4/6) It is a great program & it's FREE!!! I'm so glad we signed up.
