Toddler Gardening
The Princess and I planted flowers in our pots this last week. It is always nice to have some flowers in the front of the house. What fun she had! It took us an hour, since I let her fill the pots with dirt. A slow process but we got some sunshine. Summertime is such a great time of year for toddler gardening! … [Read more...]
Toddler Tennis Shoes
I don’t think I have mentioned that we call our Princess’ tennis shoes Baby Jaguars. She loves Go, Diego, Go from Nickelodeon. Baby Jaguar is his “sidekick”. We started calling her tennis shoes Baby Jaguars before she turned two, I am sure. She calls them that too, of course. I am not sure she has ever said the term “tennis shoes”. If she is wearing her church shoes, tearing around the church halls {as she often is}, we say, “Be careful, you are not wearing your baby jaguars and you might … [Read more...]
Dancing Toddler
Well the last two days my Princess has been in a mood. She cut her foot on the bathroom stool and got her first canker sore. After a night of tossing and turning, she woke up and wanted to watch some Treehouse cartoons. {You know the ones that drive me crazy?} So I let her. While cleaning up the bathroom and making the bed, she ran in. In such a hurry, she threw open her dresser drawers and said quite impatiently, “I need my skirt!” Of course I asked why she needed her skirt. She gave me that … [Read more...]
Parenting A Toddler: 5 Important Tips
Time outs? Restrictions? Spankings? We have a very stubborn toddler here in our home. She like most three year old children need discipline. The punishment she dislikes the most is time outs. We have followed the rule that the time out is equal to her age. So she is getting 3 minute time outs right now. A frequent issue that we have been dealing with is during our travel. I am very careful to keep her within eye sight at all times when we are traveling on the road for my husband's work. … [Read more...]
Toddler Craziness
Since the Princess was feeling sick, her Papa and Nana decided to get her a new toy. (Yes, like we need it.) So she got a Little Tykes Basketball Hoop. (Which she loves by the way.)I played with her today and she started getting crazy. She put on her cow girl hat and started making crazy faces. I took out the camera, she decided to sit on an empty box and pose. Whoops! The box caved in. She thought that was the FUNNIEST thing ever. I had to snap some belly laughs. I love belly laughs!She is … [Read more...]
Teamwork
New favorite show in my house: Wonder Pets. Thank you Netflix for streaming this one. My Princess LOVES it. Her new favorite thing is to sing the Wonder Pets song while cleaning. “What’s gonna work? Teamwork…” It is so cute! (I will have to get that one on the Vado HD.) Also, in my impatience to leave the house, (why does it take forever for a toddler to get their shoes and coat on?), I tried to rush the Princess in getting ready. She had a melt down, I did a little bit too. … [Read more...]
