My Big Girl

Lately Miss Allison has been trying to be a big girl. In fact she is quickly becoming Mommy's Little Sidekick. Here are a few things she likes to "help" me with!


She makes sure my shoes work properly.




She helps with lengthy phone conversations.



She is good with "urban wildlife management". (I'm not sure who she is managing here, the dog or the rubber ducks)




She helps with quality assurance with Emily's blankets.





She helps make her bed after naptime.





She wants to help take pictures with mommy's camera.





She helps with the laundry.





She is develping new species of farm animals ie:a sheep-duck






She likes helping Emily learn her colors. Thank goodness again for washable crayons!





But the other day while we were walking she said she needed to "poopie". She hasn't told me such news before it happens yet. I distracted her until we got home. (rather quick walk!) I told her she could use her potty. That was not a favored suggestion. So I bribed my child to sit on her potty. She ended up watching 2 episodes of "Little Einstiens" from her throne. She never actually went "poopie", but she did "pee pee". Small steps, I have to remember it comes in small steps.....

It's still a moment of celebration! :)
(I work with several potty training moms. We talk about it at lunch at least 2 times a week.)
Your girls are beautiful! :)
