march smorgasbord
i want to write a post but i've got nothing.
i don't want to leave my blog empty and alone.
i do that enough to it.
so instead i will post a smorgasbord of pictures that are in my march 2010 folder.
there is no skill involved (at all) in these pictures, just fun.
they are blurry and over exposed.
but to me they are special.
and believe me they are not good for my or sophia's ego. is my face really that huge?
trying to learn how to make fishy faces, haha!
worst picture of me ever award. i need to learn how to do razzberries more gracefully
how bout a kissy for your momma???
no way mom, back it up...
ha i got one!
here she is just being cute playing on my chair
for some reason i love this photo. little cutie chubby cheeked brooklyn. sophia and her glasses. she loves them. wears them all the time. and will protest if even the smallest amount of sun is shining in her eyes. if i dont have those glasses handy? watch out.
hoody towel (made lovingly by auntie sara) that matches her duvet cover (made lovingly by me)...so chic!
p.s i still can't believe sophia is potty trained. that was too easy. she even wakes up in the night to tell me she has to go. who is this genius child?

sunshine and rainbows
...and puddles!!
Sophia and I went out with my sister Sara for the first part of our day.
We did what we do best.
We lunched, coffeed and window shopped.
Once we came home Sophia was ready to get outside and play in the puddles!
We said goodbye to auntie Sara and put on Sophia's new rain boots.
It felt so good to soak up the sunshine and breathe the fresh air
It got a little chilly since the puddles were from melted snow rather than from rain
(Sophia's t-shirt says 'rainbows are hugs in the sky' such an appropriate unplanned shirt for the day)
We loved today.
It was definitely one of those rainbow and sunshine kinda days!

potty talk
And just like that she is potty trained!
(is it weird that I took photo's of her on the potty?)
So proud of my big girl!
I knew that when she was ready it would click.
Some afternoons we would put on her big girl "underwears" and she would sit on the potty and try to go.
She would never actually go but she would sit there and try.
I never pushed it.
If she wanted to do it we would, if not we wouldn't.
It wasn't until a couple of days ago when she accidentally went on the floor a few times and had that uncomfortable wet feeling. She was really upset about it, even though I assured her that it was not a problem and this is how you learn.
All of a sudden things clicked and now when she feels like she has to go she tells me "mommy i pee potty" and we run like the wind and she sits on the potty.
It is awesome.
She learned on the big potty with a little trainer seat on it.
No messy cleaning up of a little potty, just flush and go. Love that!
Ever since it clicked she has not had an accident and she even goes number two on the potty. I have heard that some kids will hold number two's until they have a pull up or a night time diaper on. I didn't know how Sophia would be about it. Apparently it's not a problem for her. So happy!
(Don't you love that I am talking about going number two?)
Today we went out and bought her new big girl underwear with Strawberry Shortcake and My little Pony on them. How fun is that? She even let me know while we were shopping that she had to go and she went with no fuss in a gross public washroom.
She is awesome.
