Pooper Scooper

Probably shouldn't share this, but oh well, if you don't like it you can quit reading.  Lilly is begging to be potty trained, only in not so many words.  Sunday while I was cleaning up the kitchen, Lilly ran into her room and yelled, "Poopy!"  I told her I was coming and asked her to be patient.  Before I knew it she was standing on my clean kitchen floor, pants off, onsie opened at the bottom, diaper off, and poop falling off of her little tush.  She also managed to leave a nice little trail from her room into the kitchen.  Lucky for me the two rooms are connected.

I am thinking potty training will take place over Spring Break.

Idol Fan

Although I tried to fight it, I have started watching American Idol again.  I really didn't need to get into another TV show, especially one that is on multiple nights per week.  John was gone and Lilly watched it with me this week.  Lilly and her bear pulled up a chair and got into it!

She watched, and laughed, and clapped.  She talked to bear about it a couple times.  I think she told him Lauren Alaina is her favorite!

Little Mommy

Lilly has turned into a little mommy.  She gets out as many diapers as she can hold, lays them all out, and puts diapers on ALL of her babies!  The other night she even asked for cream and powder.  Had to say no to that!

Her other new thing is feeding her babies and animals.  There is a new baby at daycare and I think she has picked this up from watching Theo feed him.  If not, I have no idea where it came from.  The other night it started with her lining up every single baby, stuffed animal, or anything she thought needed fed, including her rubber duckies.

I made her pose with them!  Check out how organized she is.  She must get this from me!

She gave each of them something to eat  Bread for Eeyore, a whole chicken for KSU Raggedy Ann, a pot for Grinch, and a cup for the orange guy who has no name.  She even went down the line and gave them each a drink, complete with Lilly slurping noises!

New Calling

After creating one of my best dinners to date, I am starting to think I went in to the wrong profession.  I could be the next Martha Stewart, Rachel Ray, or Julia Childs.  Here it is.  Rosemary Pork and Summer Vegetables.  Not the classiest name, but man was it good, and only 250 calories in one serving!  Too bad my husband wasn't home to eat it with me.  I even substituted pork for chicken thinking he would be more likely to eat it.  Oh well, I am sure he enjoyed it reheated.  

 I would like to say Lilly helped, but not so much.  She was too busy getting every single diaper out of her drawer and scattering them around the living room.  Little stinker!

 

Beautiful Baby

Last weekend we ran to Salina to visit JD and Lindsay, two wonderful people we met in college.  It was great to see them, but even better to meet their new little one, Marcella! 

More Valentines Prep

Snow day #2 and we were still bored.  More baking!  This time we made John's favorite, Chocolate cookies with Andes mints melted over the top.  Lilly sat on the counter and opened every single mint.  She made a trash pile and a mint pile....and never ate a single one!

 Just wanted to post a pic of the beautiful flowers John got me for anniversary/valentines.  Love him!  Didn't notice at the time, but it would appear she is eating mint....  hummmmmm...must have snuck one past me.

Snow Days Take 2

 What better to do during Parent Teacher Conferences than catch up on blogging!  And man do I have a lot of catching up to do!  At the beginning of the month we had two snow days and a late start morning.  Lilly had I started to get cabin fever so we decided to get ready for Valentine's.  First project, Sugar Cookies.  Lilly did a great job rolling out the dough and pressing out hearts.

 The finished project.

 Felt a little guilty that we were enjoying ourselves inside where it was nice and warm, and John was doing this....  He came home in the middle of the night after pushing snow in Topeka, and had to go back to the farm and get the tractor because he couldn't get in the driveway, even with 4-Wheel Drive.

 Got bored a couple hours after making cookies, so we made dinner too!  Yummy yummy homemade Pizza.  Better just call me Martha Stewart!
