iColoring

Sierra loves playing with my iPhone and mastered it long ago.

She loves to look through pictures, watch videos Ive taken, play matching games, watch Dora, do puzzles, play Alphabet games... and "color".

I guess this is part of the i___ generation.

I often find her work saved to my photo album. Here's what I just found :)

Sierra funnies

* because of my fear of dirty public restrooms (and due to convenience), we have taken Sierra's little potty with us on occasion. it's a hilarious sight! so far she has shamelessly peed in these spots: pulled over on a random residential street, at the park while watching other kids play, and at a truck stop on the way to Dallas (she kept saying "Wow, this is sooo cool! This is fuuun!")

Flying

Conversation from the backseat:

S: (holding a helium balloon) Mommy, can we go outside and fly?
Me: Fly?! We can't fly, we don't have wings.
S: Yes we can!
Me: Can you fly? I don't know how.
S: Mommy can you try? Can you try to fly with me?
(how could I turn down that sweet request?!!)

So....we held hands in the front yard while Sierra held the balloon, counted to three...and tried to fly!

It was a sweet memorable moment. But Sierra was a little disappointed we never made it off the ground.

So in the end we let the balloon go and watched IT fly :)

Mini Mommy

Yes, I wear my hair like that after I shower ... this was Daddy's idea and she LOVED it!!

Potty trained!

It's been 1 week exactly since we started potty training and we've only had 2 accidents!!!! Yes, she's a superstar! Really I think she's been ready for a long time but Mommy was holding out. Oh, and we didn't even have to use any treats for motivation!

Day 1 - she went naked from the waist down (with leg warmers and rain boots, of course!) in the morning and had only 1 accident right at first. She wore panties in the afternoon and did great!

Day 2- panties all day with only 1 accident

No accidents since! Even perfect at school. We're so proud ... And so is she! If we're out in public, she'll come out and shout to everyone "I went pee pee in the big potty!!!!" Oh innocence :)

My fear now is all the germs and nastiness of public restrooms...coupled with her curiosity and need to touch everything! Ahhh!

Holding hands

"Mommy can I please hold your hand?" and "I want to hold your hand" are heard all the time right now.

It seriously melts my heart. It's so sweet. Sometimes it's at the dinner table, sometimes while reading stories and a lot of times while we're walking.

This was one of those moments I wanted to freeze and keep forever.

Family dinner

Sierra is really into holding Reid's bottle and feeding him food.

Daddy was super patient last night while she did it all by herself. She actually did a great job!!

Reid did however take advantage of his newbie feeder and kept grabbing the spoon before she could pull it away. It made for a lot of sweet giggles...and a bit of a mess :)
