Keeping up with the Joneses.

So, I'm trying my very best to keep this updated more than I had been. So here is a brief summary of our last week.

Sunday we went to Lucy's very first Teeny Tiny Tea Party. She really enjoyed getting dressed up and she even got to wear a little make-up. That night she went to Lynn & Doug's with Yaya and Papa while I went to a "Soccer Bowl" party. At least that is what she thought it was called. She originally thought I had gone to a birthday party, since all events with the word party in the title are Birthday Parties. :)

Here are a some pictures from the Tea Party.







Lucy also got a very special present from Aunt Tess and just couldn't wait until Valentine's Day to open it. When she saw the gift bag she asked who it was from. I told her it was from Aunt Tess and Uncle Lee. She was immediately beaming from ear to ear and said "Aunt Tess is so sweet! She is the sweetest!" How could I say no to opening the present after that?






And finally, we tested out our painting smock and watercolors that we got at Christmas. Haven't had time for that big of a mess, but tonight she was lucky enough to break them in!




Oh, I almost forgot. Lucy has started saying "Did you know? Buttcheecks?" and then just laughs hysterically. I hate to reinforce her saying buttcheeks so often, but it's hard not to think it's funny and laugh. Well tonight I was standing in front of her turning on the TV to TopChef (so I could have a little culinary motivation while cooking dinner) and I hear her saying "Butt, butt, butt, butt, butt-cheeks, butt-cheeks." Over and over again. Well she had a small flashlight from my room that she needed to use while we were walking down the "dark hallway" and she was shining it on my behind, alternating cheeks with the rhythm of her chant. How could I not laugh?

Alright, I think that is it for now!

Short and Sweet.

Last night Lucy and I shared a very special bedtime snack. We split a piece of cheesecake. After I told her what we were eating she took one bite and said "Mmm...cheesy." I laughed and we finished our snack. Later we called Yaya at the church to tell her goodnight and Lucy told her we had eaten cheese pie. I can see where she's coming from.

Tonight Lucy and I were in my room and Yaya had just left the room. I noticed that I smelled a familiar aroma. I said "Lucy, did you go potty?" Without missing a beat she said "No, it was Yaya." I thought we were doing so well with potty training Yaya, I guess we're back to square one.

Lucy has been very focused on bellies today. She told Yaya that her belly was her favorite ball to bounce her head on, and told me that my belly was her favorite ball to bounce her hands on. She just keeps walking up to me and pushing on my belly said "bounce, bounce, bounce." I guess no more bedtime slices of cheese pie for me!
