Big Girl Bed!

So we decided...kinda of out of the blue...to put Kayleigh in her big girl bed :)  We've had the bed up for quite awhile and have really only used it as a changing station.  But with Baby Boy Peterson making an appearance in 3 months or so, we figured why not try and transition her now. 

Kayleigh took her nap in it yesterday without any problems at all!  Plus she slept in it last night...with a few bad dreams (maybe) she was up about 2-3 times.  Not sure what is going on, different area of the room, different noises and lights, who knows.  Hopefully in the end it will work out for the best and she'll love the independence :)  She (knock on wood) has ever tried climbing out of her crib and/or her toddler bed as of yet, so no worries for this mama at this time.  But...our baby girl is getting to be such a Big Girl!  Oh how they change :)  We love you, Kayleigh!

Potty Training...sort of!

Kayleigh has taken an interest in potty training.  We aren't pushing too hard, but if she finds the need and desire, we let her!  She's poopied in the potty twice now.  But this morning...she ran in and pee-peed!!!  She was so proud of herself!  We are too...21 months old!!!  Way to go, Monkey!!! 

Been WAY too long!!!!!

So...what's new with us.  Well...where to start.  I'm working on my intership for my Master's in Healthcare Administration (besides that class...two more this fall and I'M DONE!)  We've been dealing with flooding in our basement...completely random...our floater to the sump pump got stuck to the bottom so the sump pump didn't work correctly during a 3 in over night rain.  So we had the insurance adjuster come and we compensated.  Now Steve's working on getting the carpet pulled up (luckily that is mainly what we lost!).  Kayleigh and I aren't able to help...mainly because I am pregnant again!  Due in November and we'll know what we are having in a couple of weeks. 

Kayleigh is growing like a weed and learning new things every day.  She's definately going thru some "Terrible Two's" action, but oh well!  She had tubes put in the end of April and we've not had to deal with an ear infection since! 

Well...best to be going.  I'll try to be more of a blogger!

Cleaner

Kayleigh is our little cleaner!  She loves to tear apart paper towels and walk around the room wiping up imaginary spills around the kitchen.  She also loves pushing the vacuums around the house.  She also is thrilled by doing dishes including loading and unloading the dishwasher.  Why?  Not sure...Steve and I haven't had the time nor the energy to have the cleanest of houses.  Oh well...we enjoy watching her "clean" and try to do a bit with her :)  So...now I need to ask...when should we start doing chores and allowances?  Hmm...

Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes :)

Kayleigh has been showing off her stuff lately :)  We've been practicing "where's..."  We are getting pretty good with the following: hair, eyes, nose, ears, mouth, tongue, teeth.  But the best one of all...belly button!!!  She gets a kick out of that one.  She loves finding everyone else's too :)  So...needless to say, please hear my apologies now if my daughter decides to look for YOUR belly button!  :)

Where did time go?  I miss my little baby!  I love my little girl just the same, but where did the time go?  I love how you make daddy and I laugh.  You are such a goofy girl and I wouldn't change anything for the world!  I love how you study things, how you enjoy everything, how you are you!  I love who you are turning into!  I just wish I could remember it all!  I love you, Kayleigh! 

Subtitles

I would love to invent some sort of "remote" to be able to obtain subtitles to what my toddler is rambling!  She knows what she's saying...but mom and dad are clueless!
