Toddler Decorating

Josey has taken up decorating as her hobby! We had these star wall stickers and we only put up a third of them. I would peel off the stickers and hand them to Josey so she could place them where she wanted them on her wall. I obviously helped with the higher ones but she placed almost all of them. Every sticker I would give her, she'd say, "thank you." What a sweetheart! She was very proud of her creation so she stood by it when I took a picture :)



Our other decorating project for the day was coloring eggs! Amazingly, Josey did very well with the coloring: one hand red and the other blue ;) Here is the picture of her waiting patiently to make eggs.



Pointing out where the colors are on the table.




And of course, checking to see if the egg is done...forgot to use the little hanger that comes with the kit :)

We got this fancy kit that had glow in the dark paints and stickers to go with the colors. The stupid paint was dried up and the stickers wouldn't stick on the eggs. So much for super mom getting a fancy egg kit for my kiddo. We fell back on ol' reliable: a white crayon! Some eggs had simple designs on them, one with Josey's name, and another with Korbin's name.



Random photo: Korbin playing on his playmat. So he doesn't feel left out!



My silly girl! She loves to wear glasses and she has this pair in her toy box. She often puts them on and says, "Let me see." I'm not sure where she gets her sense of humor ;) LMAO!

First Trip

We took our first out of state trip this past weekend. My parents rode with us and were lifesavers keeping Josey occupied. I forgot about our portable DVD players but luckily my mom had her computer for the trip back. I bought Tangled and Josey loved it! We ventured to my sister's place in South Dakota for my nephew's 9th birthday. We had a great visit and according to my sister, we didn't drive them nuts. It is frustrating being the only parent at a new place with a toddler that knows I can't do much when I'm nursing Korbin. Plus, Josey is an explorer so she has to check out EVERYTHING! Brayton had his friends party on Friday night. We were going to try to stay out of the boys' way but Josey thought she was one of the boys. Amazingly, the 8 & 9 year old boys did wonderful with Josey. They didn't seem to mind a bit that she was hanging out with them and in the middle of things :) Josey even helped Brayton open his gifts. She fell in love with one of the boys at the party, Joey. Joey isn't pictured in this photo b/c he went inside for something but you can tell Josey is trying to turn and head up the stairs to find him. Joey said Josey was cool b/c she almost had his name. Brian and I are well aware we are going to have our hands full when she grows up if she is already this boy crazy! Super cute! My sister bought a little headband for Josey. She loved to put it on herself and wear it around. We were going to get some more headbands for her to play dress up with but the store was closed when we went to buy them. Oh well, maybe another time. I'm going to try to find her dress up clothes this summer at garage sales. Here is Josey posing with Brayton. This picture is a cool b/c of the reflection on the refrigerator. Josey absolutely loved playing with Taite and Brayton. She is a social butterfly!
My flower child :)
Which is which? Can you tell which one is Korbin & the one that is Josey? They are definitely siblings! Look at those cheekers! I grow healthy babies :)
