BIG GIRL BED!

This whole climbing out of the crib thing is getting old, so daddy and I decided we HAD to take off the front of the crib and put up the toddler railing. It's so neat!! You immediately loved it, and got right in. But now...it's so much easier to slide right out! I didn't think about that - ha! I went out that day to get you new bedding - PRINCESS bedding and stickers for the wall! I transformed your room into a princess wonderland, and you loved it, BUT, not enough to stay in your bed...haha! I haven't found the magic trick to get you to stay yet, but I'm working on it. Time out doesn't phase you. Sometimes an extra cup of "chalky milk" helps, but not always. I'm going to figure you out little girl!

2 1/2 year Check Up!

Today (9/14/12) we went for your 2 1/2 year check up! You've grown to 31 lbs and are 36in tall!! You can ride most kiddie rides now!! YAY!!! You also had to get your Hepatitis A vaccination and the seasonal Flu mist. You did GREAT!!! You cried for just a second, and then got a Barbie bandaid!!!! After the doctor's visit, we went to Kenwood Mall to have lunch with mommy's friend, Julie, at......of course, The Cheesecake Factory! I ordered you a vanilla sundae, but you didn't want anything to do with it! SO WEIRD!!!! On our way home, we stopped by the dollar store and stocked up on princess dress up accessories, your favorite thing to do! Now we're just waiting on daddy to get home so we can go to the Chinese buffet! I would imagine you'll eat a bunch because you really haven't eaten all day!

1st Hair"trim"

You're ALMOST 2 1/2 years old and just haven't been able to "cut" your hair, though let me add, you have cut your own hair! LOL! A few months back, you took "play" scissors, scissors that barely can cut paper, and trimmed some of your hair! LOL! So, when it came down to planning our trip to Buffalo for Labor Day 2012, it seemed only fitting that Maria would cut your hair. She has cut daddy's hair, mommy's hair, Gaga's hair, Pop Pop Marc's hair, Great Grandma Rita's hair and I'm sure Great Grandpa Harvey's hair. You'd be the 4th generation Kozinn/Rogers to have you hair cut ("trimmed") by Maria! It was last Saturday (9/1/12), and you weren't really thrilled about it. Maria had to trim a little bit of my hair, and then trim yours, back to mine and back to yours. I had to hold you for a little bit, and daddy had to hold you for a little bit. All in all, it went well given the situation and your age :) After that, we went to Anderson's for an ice cream lunch!!! HA! You have such a sweet tooth! Ice cream and rainbow sprinkles! We had a great weekend in Buffalo. GaGa and Pop Pop Marc took us all to Fantasy Island. You had a ball - rode so many rides. You really are fearless! You went down waterslides, too...ALL BY YOURSELF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Such a brave little girl!
