Lora Kathryn will be "2" two weeks from Saturday! I'm excited and in major party planning mode. I hope the weather will be good because we are having her birthday at our farm in Social Circle. I think the kids will enjoy the animals and being outdooors!
She's such a mess! We went on Saturday and had her 2 year old portraits made. I made the portraits in her Halloween costume and in a dress that I love. Needless to say by the time we put the dress on it was difficult to get many good ones because she was tired and she'd had enough. The attention span of a two year old can be short lived! Overall though she did a great job and I really like the pictures!
Saturday night I had a tailgate party at my house for several families. It was LOADS of fun and got pretty crazy. We had a great time though!! Thanks to those of you that attended!!
I'm still loving my job and find myself having more time with Lora Kate! It's all so wonderful I can't even describe how lucky I feel each and every day!
Lora Kate's favorite movie is either Cat In The Hat, Little Rascals or Care Bears or ANYTHING Mickey/Minnie Mouse. So in Little Rascals they say "Ooooo TAY." Well this is what LK says now and it's precious. She talks and talks and talks. A few weeks ago she counted to "7" and I was floored. Last week she counted to "10." I love her daycare and I'm so impressed with everything they do with Lora Kate and the children. It's funny to go in and hear all the little voices say, "Bye Bye Lora Kate." We sit down when we get home and go over all her papers and 'art' work. Interesting to say the least but it gives me time to praise her and talk to her about it and I really enjoy that bonding time. Some days I'll pick her up and have a surprise waiting for her in the car. I say, "Lora Kate guess what? I have a surprise in the car for you." Her little face lights up and she goes, "Mama I ant prize, I ant prize" and trots/runs her little run to the car.
We have our meltdowns occasionally and she wants to do everything herself. EVERYTHING! I let her do as much as I can but some things like climbing UP the slide unassisted I can't handle...not yet at least. As the days pass she grows into more and more of a little girl and not a baby anymore. I can't get over how fast it all happens and how fast she develops.
We continue to slowly work on the potty training and she does good. Some days more than others but I figure it'll all come eventually as long as we are consistent. She wakes up in the middle of the night most nights now and calls for me. She says, "Mama...I wet I wet." So I go in and we go potty and then I put on a diaper and she goes back to bed. It's not fun getting up at 2 or 3 am but I figure it's well worth the preparation for middle of the night pottying.
One of my good friends and old college roommates, Mandy, is getting married this Saturday. I'm looking forward to her wedding!! I know she's going to be such a pretty bride!!!
I hope you all are loving the Fall weather and enjoying football season!! GO DAWGS!
