Fall 2011 Update

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!  We did the usual thing and headed to my grandma's in Malden.  Lots of good food and goofing off with the family.  Good times.  Hard to believe that Christmas and New Years is right around the corner.

Joni also turned 3 a couple of weekends ago!  I can't believe how big she's grown.  I'm sooo thankful for my happy, healthy and beautiful girl!

Remember how we first tried potty training back in June?  At first there were a couple of days where there we were accident free but that didn't last long.  She was having accidents almost everyday and it was making everyone frustrated and that might have made things harder for Joni.  I read that you shouldn't get angry or make a big deal out of it if your child has an accident.  After months of frustration I'm happy to announce that my little Joni has now been potty trained for a little over a month now!!  YAY!  AND no diapers at night either!  (I bribed her with Disney Princess undies.  I'm so glad that worked!)

In case I don't post anything for awhile, Happy Holidays!

"I'm worried about the animals..."

We were watching some show about animals and Joni sees some parrots and tells me likes them a lot. She then begs me to let her have some parrots "pretty please". She says we'll need to get a cage and that they can go in her room. She then changes her mind and says that the parrots would be noisy so they should be in MY room. I said "MY ROOM?", Joni just nods. Thanks honey. I love you too.

The show later shows some area where there were no animals. Joni asks me where all the animals were. I told her I didn't know. She says under her breath, "They're extinct..." and then says this more loudly, "I'm worried about the animals mama."

I love this little girl SOOOO much.

Happy Halloween!

3 - 2 - 1...BLAST OFF! My little nugget was a rocket ship this year.

She had fun and got a ton of candy from just going around the block in my mom's neighborhood. Too bad almost half of the candy had nuts. Oh well.
