Big Girl Panties

Although far from potty trained, we got Odessa her first big girl panties. They didn't have princesses in her size so we ended up with Elmo and Minnie Mouse. Very cute and she is happy and excited to have them!

I never thought I would hear myself say...

"Odessa, princesses don't use their wands as weapons"

Anatomy of a Tantrum

Tantrum Handbook:

Step 1. Do the "crumple"; kitchen-floors and anywhere in public work best.

Step 2. Peek out to make sure that someone is watching.

Step 3: Look damn cute until one of two things happen: 1) be "rescued" by nearby mom/dad/other or 2) become distrated by the cookie you now see that is on the floor, and therefore no longer need to be rescued...because you can't remember the reason behind the crumple in the first place.

I love you my addorable, little drama queen!

Mommy Odessa

While I was taking my shower, Odessa wheeled in both her shopping cart and her baby stroller. Pablo in the shopping cart and not-yet-named asian baby was in the stroller. From there she spent quite a bit of time "taking care" of each of the babies. It is so sweet to watch. I hope that some of my mommy-skills pass on to her (but not all! :)
