Old Fashion Soda Pop (Video)

I really, really liked this guy on the video. I would love to see if we had a store like his around here! I think I'll research that!!!

WERE...(Past Tense)

...Potty Training :(

She will hold it until naptime and then in her sleep...go.

She even shuns rewards...

M&Ms, Juice Boxes and cold hard $$$.

So, were are back to baby diapers. :(

Need NEW skills

Okay, so I knew before I ever received my referral that she would be SMART and SASSY. Just didn’t know how SMART and SASSY so young! I pride myself on being a master manipulator and assumed that this whole parenting thing was in the bag!! Heck, I am single handedly responsible for her:

• NOT leaving the house without a matching HAIR ACCESSORY
• BELIEVING that NOT NICE girls shouldn’t be allowed to wear PRETTY bows
• Picking shoes to MATCH her outfit
• Being NAKED is NOT NICE (except when walking to a from a bath)
• Lot of other stuff too!!!

Okay, so all that seems to have worked out well for me…but that was then. Now, I’ve LOST my touch…
Today was the first day G wore a PULL UP to school. As soon as she got out of bed I took her to the potty. My thought process is like what I do with me and my puppies…go potty first thing when you wake up. I swore I wouldn’t pressure G into this whole potty training thing…but what’s the point of putting on a fresh pull up only for her to PP in it right away??? Okay, so she’s flipping out! She’s NOT walking to the potty NAKED! OMG, why would I torture (see above list) her with this!!! She’s NOT happy. So I just carry her downstairs to the powder room and offer Big Potty or Small potty. She keeps saying “I DONE” but she hasn’t done anything. I know, I know…but I just want her to sit there for a few minutes! Then she yells “GO AWAY….SHUT DE DOOR”. So, I’m thinking we might be in business. NADA. Don’t know what she did but I understand privacy. Anyway, after 10 minutes and no PP I tortured her by telling her to walk around the family room/kitchen naked. She yelled at me the whole time. “I WANT MY CLOTHES” You know she’s 2.5, right! So I tell her I’m calling Ms Tammy (her teacher) and tell her that it’s good for little girls to go PP in the morning before mommies put on the pull up. You see, this trick has been brilliant in the past and worked EVERY TIME! So I get off the fake phone conversation and tell G what Ms. Tammy said to me and you know what that STINKER yelled…

“NO MOMMY…PHONE BLACK!!”
with a smart a$$ tone along with a how-dare-you stance!

Busted.

She must now know that when talking to someone the screen is blue! Crap! She’s on to me! Need upgraded tactic!!!! Help me smarten up!!!! I’ll take all the advice I can get! ROTFLMAO

This is a photo of her on the very same day just as we got out of the car for school. I couldn't hear what she was saying but it was probably something like...

"SEE THIS FACE...DON'T EVEN TRY AND PLAY ME!"

and of course...some more cute photos!!!

and this is the "I DON'T WANNA GO" look when I came to pick her up! :0

White Waterplay

It's her FAVORITE day of the week again!!!

FYI, she insists on wearing the headbands to school. NOT my doing.

However, she tells me that she "NO WEAR AT school" because "Jake and Vaughn take them and wear them around their necks".

She wants to wear in the morning to show Ms. Tammy.

Then into her BIN until we leave!

G's SILLY Face!

Hippie Chick

She tye-dyed this onsie in school for one of their craft projects!

She is in her "cottage" for nap/quiet time.

with her puppy SUMMIT!

I think SOMEONE is not napping!

I'm thinking MOMMY is NOT helping the situation!!!

Yeah, DEFINATELY NOT HELPING! lol

(VIDEO)

At the Mall

I wished I had my video on because as soon as we walked in G ran up to the sign and screamed "GIORGIA"

She actually turned around and smiled...well, not looking at the camera but I'll take what I can get these days!!!

5 SECONDS later... she's done! lol

July 28, 2010

Giorgia Higgins, 2, of Newark, is a girl on the go; whether it's going to the beach, flying to visit her family and friends or shopping at the mall. One of her favorite things to do while home is play with her little doggie, Pirate, who is her leading man and partner in crime. She is my beautiful little princess who always has a mischievous sparkle in her eye and insists on a matching headband. Lol

And a GREAT DAY it is!!! Because...

They announced the WINNERS of the CUTEST Baby & Toddler Contest!

and MY GIRL's a WINNER!!!!
What's with the photo though??

The other cuties that placed!!!

Now, if one of MOMMY'S photos from the photo shoot were used it might have looked like this!

or this...

A bit of Potty Talk

Some more photos of "Packed Lunch Day"

Here is what you do when your child is wearing clothes that are too big...use matching curling ribbon and tie the straps together in the back and it will keep them from falling down!

Not sitting pretty...



Some potty talk before I leave for work...
