I've been on the hunt for winter gear for Rowyn. Between getting new boots (that had to be exchanged twice to get the right size and style), searching for multiple hats and mits - I'm sure we're going to loose a set or two, and finding a snowsuit that I don't need to take a second mortgage one I'm pooped! Oh - and not pink.....
I think I've found everything, now I just need to get Rowyn to try it on - which at this point is a roadblock. I'll snap a pic if she ever tries it on.
We've passed another milestone in the last month. Rowyn has mastered the potty! When we were at Deer Lake on our vacation we put in some serious time sitting on the bathroom floor with Rowyn trying to get her to "go". It took 3 days, many accidents, and a lot of phrase and jumping up and down but she got it. Since then our little lamb has been in big girl underwear. Yes, we still have the odd accident and we haven't mastered the #2's yet, but hey, we're down to one diaper at night and that's it! We're so proud of her!
I think we're on the verge of another milestone too. I went into Rowyn's room last night to see what the commotion was about and walked in to find Rowyn caught red handed - or should I say red footed with one leg fully swung over the side of the crib. Sigh. I was hoping we could spend some time at Christmas doing the bed transition. Looks like Brad will be moving furniture and setting up a big girl bed in the next week or two. I don't think I'm ready to be woken up in the middle of the night by a poke in the shoulder from Rowyn. This should prove interesting.
Rowyn continues to make us laugh with the things she says. Some of her favourite things to say:
"oster the douch" - translation Oscar the Grouch!
"nooooooo Aza..... my sherios!" - No Khaos, my Cheerios
"No poo poo inda udrware, poo poo onda potty"
"peese mama, more dadda cereal"
It's just so cute! She's absolutely in LUV with horses. The kid won't stop talking about them. And Sesame Street. She's found Elmo and loves him. Rowyn also loves everything girly. Poor Brad's had to wear necklaces, carry Barbie, have Tea, and find Rowyn's purse for her when she's lost it. She always wants to carry my purse, keys, wear my watch, anyone that comes into our house with a necklace on has to relinquish it to Rowyn for the duration of their stay.
I'm sure we're going to have a little beauty queen on our hands any day.
So, we're all happy, healthy (except Brad who's feeling a little under the weather right now) and busy. We're off to Kindergym this weekend (I can't wait!) and we're going to the apple orchard (yummy apple crisp and apple cake coming soon....).
Somehow I broke our keyboard on our home computer so I'm having trouble downloading all our pics, but here is the latest one that I took of Rowyn. More to be posted soon.
