Shoes….. Wordless Wednesday..
Kyra has thing about shoes she loves to wear them and she loves to try them on. It does not matter if they are Mason’s shoes, Daddy’s shoes or Mommy’s shoes she tries them all on. We go down the shoe aisle at a store and she starts trying to pull her shoes off so she can try on new ones. Needless to say moving into a larger house she can easily lose one shoe and she is at the age when you ask her where the missing one is she goes” don’t know” which is not a huge help especially if you are trying to rush out the door and your child only has one shoe on.
Anyway I keep a pair of flip flops by the front door that I use if I have to go in the front yard or when I get the mail. I came around the corner the other night and saw this……
she had put her shoes with mommy’s shoes. For me this was an ahhh moment so much so that I took a picture of it. Sappy I know but very sweet too. =-)
Potty training..
Ah she looks so innocent right? Or rather she looks like she knows what she is doing right? Well I have probably bitten off more then I can chew. I am trying to potty train Kyboo it seemed like a good idea. We are moving in about three weeks and where we are moving to the wooden floors have just been refinished and I did not relish the thought of potty training Boo on those pretty wooden floors. I let em run around naked when they potty train so accidents do happen.
Where we currently live we have all concrete floors which makes clean up really easy. But the real kicker is Kyboo is only 21 months old. So she could be to young. I know other toddlers have been potty trained this young and girls are “supposed” to be easier to potty train. I just don’t know how it will go with Boo we are only on day two. She has not done to bad so far. The first day she peed in the potty once and tried to poop once and only had three accidents. But she has not started to really to run to the potty by herself and pee. I plan on holing up in the house for four or five days and see what progress she makes. If she is not getting it we can always go back to diapers but I hope we don’t have too.
Kyboo attempts a post…
Boo on the computer.
So I was going to let Kyboo do this post for me today. I have been so tired, we have been really busy with Bible School at our church. Chicken has really enjoyed VBS but it’s just been a lot of work. I have had little time to post so when Kyboo said she would post something for me I jumped at her offer. After all who doesn’t want to hear what a 20 month old has to say. But come to find out Kyboo had an ulterior motive for getting on the computer. When I came back to check on her I found her on Tweetdeck an application for Twitter. She even sent me a Direct Message here it is: Leprakans: Hjjiiiilÿÿÿimnnkipnm
Not really sure what it means yet I am still trying to decipher it. Maybe it is some unknown language that only toddlers know. Anyway she never got around to posting anything maybe next time she won’t spend so much time on Twitter. Sigh oh well like mother like daughter.
Our 4th of July weekend…
Well we had a great 4th of July we decided to celebrate it with just our little family. We didn’t do anything extremely exciting but just being together was fun. It was the first year that Kyboo could really appreciate the fireworks and all the goings on. We all slept in and I fixed a yummy breakfast of home made sausage biscuits it beat Hardees’ any day! We went to see “Up” it was such a cute movie. It had enough adult humor to keep our attention and enough kids stuff to keep Chicken. Kyboo slept through most of the movie yeah!
After the movie we went to get some McDonald’s which I blame on one of my Twitter friends because he mentioned McD’s. The Chickens ate with gusto and played on the playground. It’s really neat to see Chicken and Kyboo play together so well.
After we gorged ourselves on yummy McD’s an American tradition we went home to vedge for a while. Watched some tv and the Chickens ate more healthy food..
donuts! This is Kyboo hamming it up. So after hanging out at home for a while we decided to brave downtown. There were so many people there we had to park way out but we found free parking which is hard to find when they are having events downtown. We ditched the stroller I put Kyboo in my sling Ben had Chicken and we headed out. We ended up having a lot of fun Kyboo was not quite sure what to think of all the people I think it’s the first time she has been in such a crowded area.
We got to see Mac Arnold perform I loved his music.
Then we saw some awesome fireworks downtown near the Reedy River. Chicken really liked them Kyboo was not scared but she was more interested in watching the other people’s reaction then watching the fireworks.
Then we finished the night at Sonic a regular hangout for the Moffets. Kyboo had just heard a firework go off and was a little dazed in this picture. All in all it was a great day!
Like my new earrings?
So Kyboo got her ears pierced today… I know that a lot of people do not agree on getting babies or toddlers ears pierced. I am not trying to debate that fact on this post. I am just sharing our experience every family has to decide what is right for their little ones. I for one was tired of people asking if Kyra was a boy.. I was just asked last month on our vacation to Atlanta. She was dressed from head to toe in purple (for Maddie) and we still got “oh he is so cute”. Ahhh. Another reason I decided to do it was because she was so young and I was hoping she would not mess with them. I got mine pierced when I was 8 and I kept touching them and they became all red and were very sore. So I asked my husband if I could get it done and he finally said “ok, but I can’t be there”. He can’t stand to hear his little girl cry.
So we decided today would be a good day to do it. Mason and Ben were going to a baseball game at the Greenville Drive. We dropped our boys off and headed to the mall. We decided to go to the Piercing Pagoda the two girls at the counter were very nice and very informative and I felt comfortable having them do it. They made over Kyboo saying what pretty eyes she had. I decided on small gold studs for Boo and white gold studs for me since I was planning to get my ears pierced too. I was not going to put Kyboo through the pain alone. I had to go for a third hole because I already have a second one.
So when it was our turn to sit in the chair I sat Kyboo in my lap. I got mine pierced first, and I have to say it hurt a lot less then any other piercing I have had after it was not even sore. Then it was Kyboo’s turn and yes she cried it was really hard for me when she did. But they gave her a lollipop and this is her happily crunching away a few minutes later.
She was such a trooper and did not even cry when I cleaned them before she went to bed, and she has not messed with them at all. When we picked our boys up Mason kept telling her that he liked her “new earrings”. And her Daddy thought she was awefully pretty! Now when I dress her from head to toe in purple people should say, ” What a cute little girl.” =-)
Enjoying a slushie naked.
Kyboo sitting in her Daddy’s lap enjoying a slushie. Why is she naked? This was after church and she was wearing a white dress sundress and the slushie was red!
