Outside last night...

We were playing on the playset last night...and Julie reminded me, "Julie fall in the sandbox". :(

She did go up the steps a few times...but I was right there. :)

I'm a bad mom...I am very sorry!

Last night, I discovered the bad way that Julie is not ready to go up and down the play set steps without supervision. After many successful times over the last two weeks, this particular time, she didn’t make it . When I turned around, I found her face first in the sandbox. We were very fortunate that she wasn’t hurt—she cried a bit, but it didn’t last more than 1 minute to a minute! My girl is tough! But we won’t do the steps again without adult supervision until you are at least three years old, I promise that. We called it a night from being outside and went in for a bath.

Julie tells us “Julie fall in the sandbox”. I bet she won’t forget it for a long, long time. I say this because, about a month ago, when she was riding the bike (tricycle) down the incline from the garage, and she coasted right into the deck and bumped her chin. Every time she sees a bike, she points to and mentions her chin.
Mommy loves you very much Julie. I am trying to let you be as independent as a two year old can be, but I learned from what could have been a very bad experience that the play set steps is not one of them!

At home with Daddy--

The kids are staying home with their Daddy a couple days a week this summer.

I received an email from Daddy today. It said that he was pretending to snore with Julie. When he stopped, she looked at him and said, “Daddy, I want hong chew.”

That’s what she thought the snoring sounded like.

Too cute!

CD player

Julie got a cool toy CD player for her birthday. I told her to put a CD in it. She then told me that she put a "ABCD" in it.

I thought this was so adorable! The alphabet "CD" is the only one she knows!

A Toy Story party...

We had a great time at Julie's 2nd birthday party! She liked everyone singing to her and she even blew out her own candles. We decorated paper turtles with stickers and pulled ducks out of the water for prizes! We love all of our new toys...some of the coolest are a pink bubble blower, crayons, coloring books, a Leap Frog computer, and toy cd player!

I'll post pictures soon.
