Friday Funnies:
 

A lot of the information I have been reading about potty training says to let your little one run around naked.

Hmmm...I am a stay at home mom, so that sounded easy enough.  No problem.

PROBLEM!!!!!!!!!

(Sometimes I forget that Alanna is still really young for this whole potty training business)

She pee pee'd in the potty and we did the happy dance, washed up, ate our cookie, and shut the bathroom door.  Done!

NOT DONE!!!!!!!

I went in the kitchen to tell Cie-J of her accomplishment when I see her coming towards me with a hand full of poo poo!

SHE POOPED ON THE CARPET!!!!!!!

And not only did she poop on the carpet, but she was bringing it to me to show me!

Now, in her defense, the door to the bathroom was shut and she did go right outside the doorway; so I think she had the right idea and just couldn't get in there to do it.

Lesson learned: I will continue to use the cloth diapers instead of letting Alanna run around naked.

The Cutest Thing:

Alanna just loves her dog, Asha. 

They have been friends from the beginning.

Asha is VERY protective of her.  

She loves to give many hugs and kisses to Asha.  

I mean like hundreds a day.

(all grandma's reading this will be very jealous)

The problem is...Asha usually sees the hugs coming and runs way from her.

Today Alanna learned how to call Asha over to her.

She says "Asha, come!" but it sounds more like "Ah ha tum!"  Seriously, the cutest thing ever!

Daddy gave Alanna some treats to hold so that Asha would want to come when she was called.

And it worked!

All Alanna has to do is say the magic words and hold our her hands and Asha comes running.

By tomorrow, the dog may need a time out just to have some time away from Alanna!

What I love Wednesday:

Seeing old friends.  

I love that we can just pick up where we left off.

Talking about memories from old times together.

Laughing.

Laughing A LOT! 

We stayed up way past our bedtimes.

Fun stuff.

I hope it's not another 5 years before we see each other again.

Pics to follow...

"Mao", our very special friend:

Alanna's favorite thing in the world right now is her kitty.  She sleeps with her, takes her to the doctor, takes her to get adjusted at the chiropractor, and makes daddy and I kiss her goodnight when they go to bed.

She used to be a little gray kitty, but Alanna threw up on her and we had to put that one to sleep.

Now she is a pretty black kitty.

Alanna can't say "meow",  instead she says "mao"

We love it.  It's so cute.

Her dad made up this funny little story about Mao and sent it to me by email.  I thought I would share it...here's what he said.

I finally put two and two together...there's a spy in the house from....CHINA!

Yes it's MAO the kitty.  I thought it was just Alanna saying meow wrong, however she's too smart to be wrong.  The cat's real name must be MAO, and it confirms my fears.  The other day I saw MAO sitting on the toy box and for some reason all of her other stuffed animals were in a line towards the trash can!

HAHA! He's a funny guy...that man I married.

Monkey Monday:

 I asked Alanna if she wanted her kitty binky or the purple one and she replied "BOTH!"

Friday Funnies:

Alanna is just starting the potty training journey.

I suspect that some of my Friday Funnies over the next 6 months will be about bathroom humor.

Just bear with me, ok? 

So, yesterday, Alanna poo poo'd in the potty for the first time ever.  I was SOOO proud of her! 

I danced and sang and stomped around for her.

It was a HUGE party.  So got a "nandy".  Candy.

Sorry you missed it.

Anyway, she soon realized that going potty gets her a reward.  So she sits down, goes, and then jumps up and says "all done" in her cute little voice.

Then she says "nandy!"

SOOOO....fast forward a few hours and we are back in the bathroom on the potty.  Bless her heart, she tries every single time even if she doesn't have to go.

So this time she sits down, toots, jumps up and says "Yay!! Nandy!!"

I guess she technically 'put' something in the potty...

so she got a 'nandy'.

I'm such a push over.  A toot push over.

Thoughts for Thursday:

Alanna saw a chihuahua on T.V. and started meowing. 

It was really really funny.

That's all for today.
