Leaving on an Airplane...

The girls and I found a great deal on jet blue and decided to forego the long California drive and fly down there instead. Bails was so excited about the idea of going on an airplane. She made sure to save up her money in her wallet so she could pay for the airplane (a whole $2) and carry her Belle purse to the airport with all of her toys and money. Too bad holding onto lasted about .4 seconds before I was put in charge of carrying it. I made sure to pack 2 ipads (they fight over everything), plenty of candy and snacks, molding clay, alphabet flashcards and a very positive attitude. Sam helped me to the gate and then after like 5 minutes of waiting we kissed him goodbye and loaded ourselves up on the plane.

It took us awhile to actually start moving and the girls were getting antsy. Bails was also a little distraught because she could see other big planes around the airport and I don't think she realized she was actually sitting in one until we started moving. She kept telling me she wanted to go in other airplanes. As soon as we started moving and taking off Bails was in heaven looking out the window and Hazel jumped into my lap and clung for dear life.

Once we were in the air we watched 101 Dalmatians, ate snacks, and stared out the window at the clouds, mountains, boats in the ocean water etc... They were perfect which was fabulous for me and my large, tired pregnant body.

 Maybe the three of us can be little world travelers after. Who would have thought? Not me, that is for sure.

Potty Time

The most exciting news at our house today? Hazel ran over and pointed to her bum so I asked her if she had to go poop. She nodded yes and then ran over to the bathroom. 

I told Sam to throw her on the toilet and she pooped. Sam said if she potty trains in the next month he will buy her a pony. We will see if she earns it.

First Time Out

Someone earned their first time out ever today. She dumped an entire water bottle of water out on the carpet for fun. While I cleaned it up I told her to go to time out. She ran back to Bailey's room and plopped down on the time out chair. I set the timer for one minute and she sat there the entire time. 

Don't let the pictures fool you. She wouldn't make eye contact with me while I photographed her, but she had a smirk on her face and I am pretty sure she was so happy to be like her big sister and get sent to time out. We will see how long it takes for the fascination of it to wear off.

Miss Indpendent

If you try to help her eat her breakfast in the morning she will scream at you. Little lady has to do everything herself.

Unless of course she is trying to poach your food; then she will gladly take bites off your spoon.

Crash

Sometimes you just have those days.

Sticker Chart

 This is Bailey's sticker chart. Every night she slept in her bed the whole night, she got a sticker. It took a while, but she finally filled it up. This meant a trip to Toys R Us to pick out anything that she wanted.

 Well almost anything, because I am pretty sure she would have drove out of their in her new Ferrari if we would have let her.

The goods? A package of safari animals.

Hazel's consolation prize? A shopping cart that she would not stop pushing around the store. I think Hazel wins. 

Corn on the Cob

We have a winner. I am pretty sure they each devoured theirs and then started to come for Sam and I's plates.

It hadn't been that quiet in our house in a long time.
