Another cute thing that 2 years olds do

Have you ever noticed when a little kid enters an elevator what they do?? Today Emily and I went to visit her doctor for a follow up and we have to take the elevator up to the 2nd floor. She loves to push the button to make the elevator come and then when we enter she slowly walks over the little crack in between the elevator and the floor! It is to cute! I think that she thinks she might fall in the crack. :)

Simple things 2 year olds do make me smile!

By the way, Emily is doing much better today. Her visit with the doctor went well and she said her lungs sounded clear. Just going to finish the antibiotic and keep up with the breathing treatments for a few more days. So happy to see her starting to act like the old Emily.

No, you can't go potty there!

We were at Lowe's the other day picking up a few things for the big project we are currently working on in our house. My 2 year old, Emily, is currently in the middle of potty training and it actually doing really well with it.

We had been in the store for awhile so I decided to take Emily to the bathroom to at least try to go. So we head in and she tries but does not go. No big deal, just glad we tried. We are heading back to find her Daddy when she finds the toilets and sinks that are used for display! She gets all excited and tells me that she has to go potty and that she wants to wash her hands! Yikes. I try to explain to her that they are not working and she can't go potty in them. She was not really happy with that answer and continues to insist that she wants to use the display toilet. By now people are smiling and laughing at her, because she is so darn cute! I had to lift up the toilet seat and turn on the sink to show her that they are not "real" in order to finally convince her to head back to the real restroom.

This will be a fun story to tell her boyfriend someday! =)

Cute things 2 years olds do!

So I was folding some laundry in the living room (which really needed to be done since I could no longer see the chair I had continued to stack each clean load on!) and Emily, my cute 2 year old was helping! This is one of her favorite things to do, she is starting to really want to be a big helper. It's nice but sometimes I think it takes me longer to do chores, but hey it's quality time spent with her. So I look down at her and she says "I like" and I realize that she has put on a pair of her older sister's underwear and they are around her waist like a belt! I burst out laughing at such a cute sight and she kept saying it over and over! I should have taken a picture! I think she will LOVE the Dora underwear I got her for Christmas. Planning on tackling potty training come January.

Isn't she a cutie?

Emily saves the day!

So last Monday Kyle had dropped me off over where we hunt for a few hours. He came back at dark to pick me up with Brayden and Emily. As I was walking across the field towards the truck I saw Kyle and Brayden get out of the front seats and then I saw Kyle try to open the back hatch and then go to the front door with no success! Apparently when Brayden got out of the front passenger side door he hit the lock button! (the truck was not running) So where were the keys? Locked in the truck! So where was Emily? Locked in the truck in her car seat! When I got to the truck and found out for sure that this what happened I started to panic! It gets better though! We have an extra set of keys! Where were the extra set of keys? Locked in the truck!! It just so happened that very day when we were leaving the house I grabbed a set of keys and Kyle grabbed the other set! So he used one and the other set was left lying in the cup holder. Ok, so we knew we could not call someone to go to our house to get our extra set of keys!

Kyle decides at this point to try to get Emily to unlock her door! Now one of the first things that Emily does when she gets in the truck lately is to take off her shoes and socks! Don't ask, I don't know why, she just does it. Well this past summer she discovered that she could use her cute little toes to roll her window up and down! He thought just maybe that we could get her to unlock her door using her toes! So he took my flashlight that I had used to walk out of the woods with and pointed it at the door lock button and we kept asking, kept begging her to unlock the door! She was very calm and thought we wanted her to open her window so she kept trying to do that. About 5 minutes into this I started to think that maybe we should just break one of the windows! I wanted my baby girl out! She was of course fine, not freaking out or anything. She was pretty amused by the whole thing. Then Kyle said we should probably call a tow truck since we have free lock out service. But he kept trying to get her to open the door. Then one last try and "click" she flipped the lock and I quickly opened her door! SUCCESS!

We made a big deal about it and of course she was very excited and happy. She is such a smart little 2 year old! I was very relieved that we did not have to wait for a tow truck or break a window. So moral of the story keys need to come out of the truck whenever you get out! What a crazy night. Anyone else have a funny story like that?

Kids say the funniest things...

Tonight when we were at Brayden's soccer game we were sitting in the truck before his game and a car was coming down the road towards us with a kid hanging his head out the window. Obviously this kid did not have his seat belt on. Anyways, we were all kind of laughing and talking about how he should have a seat belt on and Brayden says "He must be half dog" very seriously. And that is exactly what it looked like, like a dog hanging his head out the window. We all laughed about it. Kids say the most truthful things and it can come out so funny. Now that I am typing this it does not sound as funny, lol. I guess you had to be there to see this kid. Brayden did tell me to get my camera out and take a picture at the time, kind of wishing I did take one to go along with this silly story!
