siliskin glass

Emma just recently started drinking out of a cup like a "big girl". I think I put it off for so long because I was worried about spills. But a friend of mine just put a post up about these new glasses she found for little ones! They have a silicone sleeve on the outside of the glass to help slippery little hands have a better grip : ) If I don't win one they will definitely be in my little ones stockings this Christmas.

Put simply......"I Love You"

I have wanted to get Emma one of these for the longest time. Her face was priceless!

Pete, Felix, and Papa

A Kung Fu Panda Birthday!

The day after Don saw Kung Fu Panda he said he wanted his next birthday to have that theme! Well his loving wife took note and suprised him with a Kung Fu Panda cake! He was shocked and thrilled. At 28, the little boy in my husband came out! He even said he would be playing with the figures after they came off the cake. And he did!

War of the Highchairs

So for those of you that don't know we have been staying at the Marriott Residence Inn. We will be staying here until our house closes.

Every morning we get up, pj's and all, and head downstairs for the breakfast that they provide.

A few mornings ago I overheard a conversation a woman was having about how they ended up staying at the hotel so long. From what I heard they had one of their pipes brake at their house and it flooded. Everything was ruined and they have been staying here until their house is fixed. They have a family of 5 that are staying here. Husband, Wife, a teenage daughter, and two twin boys about a year old.

Aside from there sad story an unsaid war is going on between us. We arrive downstairs around 8 am for breakfast and they arrive a little after us. Their are only 2 highchairs available to use.

With them having twins, if they arrive first they take both chairs. However, if we get down their first I am able to get a chair for Jah Jah bean! (Emma is fine sitting in a "big girl" chair)

Every morning is a flight to see who can get down there first! In fact this morning I tried to make it down there by 7:45. And when she walked in this morning, I could have bet she gave me a wary eye seeing me with one of the chairs! lol

My little gymnast

Emma had been enjoying gymnastics for the last 6 weeks before we left.

So, one of the first plan of attacks when we got here was to look into gymnastics for her.

I was very surprised to find out that not only do they have gymnastics for her but ballet! So I started making calls and they were all about the same price.

Today was spent taking a look at some of the facilities and seeing what Emma's reaction was to watching some of the classes. She seemed very excited and even said, "Hi gymnastics! Emma is coming!"
