Bree: Look at the snake, Mommy. Is so goot! (It’s so cute.) She likes (stuffed toy) snakes. And the letter ‘S’ is also called a snake because of its shape and the sound it makes.

Coloring
So after I got off the phone this evening, I went upstairs to find Bree had found a marker and colored all over her hands, arm, and feet with it. And she’d wiped her colored hands over her face, leaving it a bit colored as well. And this marker was not the washable kind, of […]
Did you know that?
Bree: Did you know that? Me: Did I know what? Bree: Did you know what? Me: What? Bree: What? And over and over again. Bree asks me these questions a lot lately but then never actually has anything beyond that to tell me. I think she is just imitating what she hears us ask in […]
Ponies and Progress. Maybe.
I have mentioned before that any talk about using the potty brings a strong “No” from Bree. Well today, knowing her love for anything My Little Pony, I bought her some My Little Pony panties. When I gave the panties to Bree this evening, she was very excited. After about 10 minutes of pointing out […]
Unicorns
This morning, I told Bree to grab her pony and she corrected me, saying, “It’s not a pony. It’s a umcome.” (Unicorn) They are all My Little Ponies to me, but I guess I need to be more specific.
Big Girls
Now that I have two kiddos in diapers, it sure would be nice (and cost effective) if Bree would decide she is ready to try using the potty. So far though, she refuses. Every morning, the first thing I do after getting Bree out of her crib* is change her diaper. It is amazing how […]
Asking Nicely
We’ve been working with Bree to “use your words” instead of screaming and just in general. This includes saying “Please” when asking for something. Although she is getting better about saying Please and Thank-You on her own, sometimes she still needs a little prompting. She often includes the “ask nicely” in her request, which I think […]
Well Child Checkups for Adrianna and Bree
Adrianna and Bree had their well child checkups on Tuesday. Adrianna was quite overdue for a checkup and also overdue for a few immunizations. I had warned her that she was going to get three shots and that it would hurt but would also be over quickly. I also let her know that if she […]
Over and Over
Bree is making me listen to Gotye’s “Somebody That I Used to Know” over and over and over again. It’s catchy and she enjoys dancing to it. Adrianna (my older daughter) finally begged me to turn it off. hehe. So we switched to the Beach Boys for a little while.
Games With Bree
A long post about my Breezy girl at 3 years, 2 months old. Bree has a few new games she likes to play with me. The first is called “Where did Bree go?” She will prompt me to play by saying, “Whay-oh Bee go?”, at which point she will run and hide behind Greg’s coat […]
