Strawberries


The day before Mother's Day we went to Mt. Olympus Farm in Ruther Glen to pick strawberries. It was a beautiful day and the strawberries were so pretty and yummy. I didn't want Reagan to eat them yet, but wanted to take her picture with them, I had to snap quick because of course she wanted to bite them all!

Vocabulary bee

Payton's vocabulary just blows me away. Last night when we were eating watermelon after dinner she says, "Mommy, this watermelon is scrumptious!" I asked where she heard scrumptious and she said Sesame Street.
Then later while brushing her teeth, she says "Mommy, you're brushing my incisors, my molars are in the back, and canine's too!" Holy cow! She said she learned the teeth from Sid the Science Kid.
She is an elephant and remembers everything!!

Payton Is So BIG!

Payton seems to grow a lot at once. All of a sudden again she seems like such a big girl to me. Today was the first day she wore her big girl underwear all day long, we went out to the restaurant supply store, she had to go while we were there, luckily there was a bathroom that was actually clean, and she went. She went at the restaurant when we at lunch and did so well all day! No accidents and she told us every time!
While in the restaurant store I was naming off all the things I saw, high chairs, trays, bowls, cups and she says yeah and machines too...in the back were fryers, freezers and big appliances. She always amazes me with the words she uses. I wish I could tape her sometimes so I could remember everything she tells me.

This afternoon I was packing some things up and giving her things to carry to the kitchen to help me out. She carried 4 cans of mandarin oranges I told her to just put them on the table. I come out to put them away and can only find one can, she had put the others away herself, one under the sink, one in the cabinet next to the stove, and two in the big cabinet. We didn't find them all at once but throughout the night as we opened things up.

She helped Tung take all the clean dishes out of the dishwasher, she carried him a pile of plates and bowls that we thought for sure would be too heavy for her but she insisted upon helping. It's so cute how much she loves to help and how good of a job she does.

She makes me crazy with her 3 year old crazies, she still doesn't like to sit in the chair and constantly worries me about falling...is she going to be in Kindergarten and stand up at the lunch table?! haha. I love her more and more the bigger she gets, she's so amazing.

Snow, or lack thereof


Yesterday I stayed home with Payton and Reagan. We had a lot of fun, until the afternoon when Reagan got super bothered by her teeth and the fun was over for her, but in the morning big snowflakes came down. Now, as soon as they landed they were melted but still I put Payton in her snowpants and coat and we ran around in them as they fell anyway, it was a lot of fun and Payton tried to catch them on her tongue.
We colored, cooked in her kitchen and played CandyLand. I also exercised by carrying Reagan around literally all day since she was so fussy with her teeth she didn't want to be put down. But we had a great day.

Reagan







Reagan has a super cheesy smile that just cracks me up, I've been trying to catch her doing it with the camera and finally did!
