Toddler Life

In just two months, my first sweet little baby will be three years old.  Every day she seems to grow, whether the fact she's finally wearing 3T, her ever expanding vocabulary and conversational structure, or her social skills with becoming braver to talking to people and using her manners.

She received a Frozen Look & Find book from my mom for Christmas, and I can't remember if I mentioned it, but she is obsessed.  She has every object memorized, yet, she still requests to 'read' it every night.  She now can pick out each item by name, and narrate the search the herself... "how about the grappling hook?"or "I don't see the pickled herring... there it is!".  Definitely adding a few more of these books to her collection.

We also decided that we are going to alternate party years with the girls, giving 'parties' as in bigger parties with lots of friends on even numbered birthdays.  This year Kenley will get a party when she turns 2 (Ashlynn had a 2nd birthday party last year) and Ashlynn will get another party when she turns 4 next year, etc.  Of course, her birthday will still be a big deal.  We'll have a family party and I'm planning on taking her to a tot salon for mommy and mini mani/pedi's and letting her get a glitter updo or braid if she wants.  She's already made a few present requests like a pink bunny, although today she asked for a yellow one, an Ariel barbie (like her cousin), and Elsa shoes.  I gave her a pair of Rapunzel shoes for her Valentine, since Target didn't have any Elsa one's and she loves 'Punzel just as much.  She's become a full on clacker around here.  #thetoddlerwearsprada

We did decide that we would finally makeover her room into a 'big girl' room, getting her a twin bed and bed frame and of course, a bit of new decor.  When I asked her what kind of room she would like - fearing character specific "Frozen" and hoping for less vague "Purple!" - she told me "bunny!"... a bunny room.  Good thing I have a jumping point for inspiration!

I've decided I'm going to sell her curtains.  They were custom made by Rocky Top Design are 84" long and have added black out lining.   They are in excellent used condition, no stains, and basically look brand new.  I'm asking $100 plus shipping.  Feel free to email me any questions if interested!

On a unrelated note, Valentine's is over, which means we busted out our green around these parts.

You bet our Irish eyes are smiling!
