Me Me Potty

As Chloe approaches 2 years old, she is becomming more and more interested in the potty.  She has a little pink potty in her bathroom and while we haven't officially started potty training yet, she likes take off all her clothes and sit on it and read her stories. 
So far to potty "successes" to report.   She'll tell us she has to go and then will sit there for a while and then we'll put her diaper back on and she'll go.   In about a week, she'll move into the 2 year old room at school where they have little toilets right there in the room, so I think she'll be even more interested in using it at home.

Take Out Night

When Mommy was pregnant with baby Brady, she craved Chinese hot mustard.  Mommy and Daddy found a great Chinese take out place and like to get egg rolls and cashew chicken.  They didn't order me my own eggroll, so I took mommy's. It was so yummy.
I haven't tried the hot mustard yet--maybe next time!

Finger Lickin' Good!

Parachute Fun!

It seems I don't have time to write blog posts lately, so I'll just post the messages I get via email from Chloe's Pre-School Teacher. 

The Tinkering Toddlers had an amazing April. One day we worked on our gross motor and listening skills playing with a parachute. The toddlers had an incredible time working together and listening.



Chloe is sitting at the table in the purple shirt still eating her snack, but it looks like she enjoyed watching her friends play with the parachute.

Tinkering Toddler Update

We just love the JCC were Chloe goes to school.  I love that they send out weekly and monthly emails to the parents letting us know what our little munchkin is doing.  Here is the excerpt about Chloe's class from this months newsletter.

"April was a very busy month for the tinkering toddlers. The toddlers focused on vocabulary this month, learning about transportation, outer space, fruits, and nature. Our art projects for these topics have enhanced the toddler's fine motor skills. Make sure to enjoy our various artworks in the room and hallway. This month the tinkering toddlers have started some individual and small group work. Here, we cover concepts such as sorting, color recognition, body part recognition, counting, and more. The toddlers are enjoying working on these concepts."

Here is a picture of Chloe's class learning about a firetruck from the Chandler Fire Dept.  You can stop looking for Chloe in the picture--they tell us she wanted nothing to do with the truck. Maybe next year!

Chloe loves building towers with her blocks!
