Year 2 Week 3

Year2 week3

- Rose got frustrated that she was done going potty and I was not wiping her bum. Instead of saying “wipe my bum” she said something that sounded like “wipe obama” which is funny cause she likes President Obama

- Balloons are still floating around the house from her birthday. Rose will bring one to you and request for you to hit the ceiling with it. She also want’s you to hit the TV as well which happened by accident one day and she thought it was so funny that it should happen again.

Year 2 Week 2 Year2 week2

- Operation Tinkle Time has commenced. The upside to potty training is your carpet and sofa gets a cleaning. The downside of potty training is asking “Do you have to go potty” every few minutes all day long it gets old really fast.

- For her birthday she was more excited about the birthday candle than the cupcake. So much so that she didn’t want to take it out even to eat it. She just ate around it.

- And yes she wore her sunglasses all during dinner.

Year 2 Week 1 Year2 week1

- At her two year check up where she wanted nothing to do with the Doctor Rose was 36 inches tall and 29 pounds. That means that she grew .5 inches and 1 pound a month. It also means that she has bumped into the top percentile in height, weight, and head size.

- My parental challenge is to teach Rose how to replace the decisive toddler “NO” to a polite “no thank you”. I think it is doable but it will take a while.

- While we snuggle before bed Rose will sometimes request a song. The first time she did this it was “You are my Sunshine” which is a song that describes how I feel about her. It melts my heart to know that she likes to have me sing it to her.

- One of our favorite Rose-isms is when she is looking for us and she says “Mommy, are you?” “Daddy, are you?”

-Rose is very particular about how she eats certain foods for instance she likes to eat her Mac & Cheese one noodle at a time like and when eating peas she has to squish them first to only eat the inside. These processes make her a really slow eater.

- When sharing french fries with Rose be warned that she will make sure that all yours are gone before she eats hers.

-We had to change Rose’s shirt after lunch and she requested to “pokey-ot” shirt. I guess having so much polka dot things to wear she was bound to learn the word fast.

- Even while under the weather rose can look fabulous. For the past few days she got a bumpy rash all over, a fever and the only thing she has wants to eat is apple sauce.

- Every night when Daddy get home from work Rose sits on his lap and requests to watch “the daily show”. Daddy really likes that she likes one of his shows so much.

- What a week. Rose has started going potty in the toilet. We still have a ways to go before she is fully potty trained but she took the first step. When she is on the potty and she makes any “progress” she smiles, claps her hands and says Hurray.

- A few weeks  ago we went to the dr.s office and mickey went with us. I didn’t want the germs to come home with us so  when we got home he took a “shower” of Lysol. Now Rose randomly asks for Mickey and Minnie to have another “shower” to get all clean.

- Rose really enjoyed her first ever Easter egg hunt today especially the cookie she got after.
