Slave Driver

This was definitely a first!  She is normally the one making the mess and Mom cleaning it up.

After feeding her dinner, I did the norm of wetting down a wash cloth and wiping her face and hands off.  She, for some reason, wanted to keep the wash cloth with her and didn't want down.  She probably stayed in her chair for 15 mins wiping down her tray over and over and over again and just laughing. 

She got down and still wanted the wash cloth and began wiping down the kitchen floor.  I was cracking up because she even got in the little crevices.  It is amazing how much they really study what you do at all times and pick things up so fast!

Everything she does has to require her tongue sticking out.  I'm shocked she hasn't bit it off yet!

Family Time

Last weekend we had a family weekend.  It had been FOREVER since we all got together.  It was nice to get to see all the family and Braylea had a blast being around everyone to show off!

Kamden is about the same size as Braylea now!  He has come a LONG way..it is amazing!

"Dad-ee"

Hey Mom..I want to go see, "Dad-ee!!"

Quit taking pictures..let's go!

No, I don't want to look at the camera anymore..let's go!

Fine..I'm not happy, Mom!

Road Trip

Last weekend we loaded up and went to visit my cousins in Marion.  It was probably the longest trip so far that Braylea has taken.  It it about 2 1/2 hours from home.  She did great.  We left right after I picked her up from daycare, so she was worn out from the day and slept most of the way.  The rest she watched her sing-a-long movie(which, by the way, is a life-saver!). 

We had a great visit.  I wasn't sure how she would do away from her comfort zone at home, but as long as I was in sight, she was great.  She was definitely a show off!  They have three different flights of stairs in their home, so that was a challenge because, of course, that's ALL she wanted to do was go up and down, up and down.  She's so onry!  Let's just say it wasn't the most relaxing visit because I was constantly running after her. lol  It was all worth it though because I had missed my family!

She became buds with Mikey..but who doesn't?!

They only live an hour away from Wichita and that's where Bryson was working that weekend, so we loaded up Saturday evening and had dinner with him.  It was so nice to break up the weekend and be able to see him for a few hours.

Valentine's Day

Yes, Valentine's Day was a week ago already, but I'm finally getting time to sit and post. 

I couldn't wait until Braylea started school and made neat crafts for keepsakes. Well, I got an awesome surprise when I picked Braylea up from daycare.  The picture doesn't do much justice..it is so neat!  I've never done an impression of her hand print yet and always wanted to, but I guess I got what I wanted without the work.  They also made heart-shaped cakes and cookies.  It is so amazing that she gets to experience such a great environment while I'm working and to meet possibly long-term friendships.

Daddy Day

Our daycare provider went on vacation so Thursday daddy kept Bray since he was off and preparing to go on the road the next day. 

Braylea decided to help Daddy pack so she tried on his hat to make sure it was warm enough for him.

When I got home from work, I think she was stir crazy and ready to get out of the house..she found a jacket in her closet and brought it to me.  She then proceeded to go the the door and bang on it while saying.."bye bye?"  I felt bad to burst her bubble and tell her no!

Why is this not going on???  Can I get some help?
