Today was an absolutely beautiful day. I would have liked to take BB to the beach or park or something like that, but instead we spent the day running around trying to find some things for a birthday party bb was invited to tomorrow. Its a ladybug theme and the little girl's mom put on the invitation "you can dress up." I mentioned this to some girls at work, and they started giving me ideas on how to make a costume. I am not exactly the craftiest person in the world... I actually never even thought of using iron on patches and a red shirt.... I'm the kind of mom that would look everywhere for a ladybug costume in Aug, and if I couldn't find it, I would have got pjs or a ladybug towel... anything at all with a ladybug on it, and call it a day... But this time, I ran all over looking for clothing that I could use, iron ons, pipe cleaners, etc etc. as well as a gift for the birthday girl. Well, this is how things go for me when I try to make something (Food or otherwise....) First off, I literally had to go to every store in the town looking for something for her to wear, hoping I could find a ladybug coat, or shirt, or something. But I couldn't find anything. So I went back to a store I had already been to, and got red pants and a boy's red shirt. When I got home, I realized I had gotten the wrong size shirt. So I had to go back into town, which is about a 30 min drive. Awesome. So the first thing I did was trace circles onto the iron ons. I used a black permanent marker and the bottom of a bottle of calamine lotion. How's that for crafty? :P Well, when I went to iron on the patches, the ink that was left from tracing the circles got smeared all over the shirt. I actually thought the iron was burning it for a min! Then, after all of the iron ons were done, I started to peel the backing off. For some reason, the backing came off fast, but it left glue behind! So there I was scraping the glue off of every one of those little spots, with a quarter. Fun times! So even though I finished at 10pm ish, I had to put it in the wash after! The party is at 11am tomorrow, so I have to get it all done tonight. It is still in the wash, so the verdict is still out on how it will turn out.... fingers crossed... Stores don't open until 12pm here on sundays....
While we were shopping in one particular store, bb was getting bored. She was being such a good girl (seriously, shopping all morning, in the car seat, in the cart, back to the car seat, etc) I looked down and there she was getting her arm out of her cute dress she was wearing. I fixed it, but she must have done it 15 more times. Then she got both arms out and took the top of her dress down! LOL I had to laugh. No one saw her, but it was too funny! Mom calls her "teeny weeny nude-eenie" now lol.
She was yelling hi and waving to everyone as we walked through the stores. It was like we were in a parade haha! Everyone said hi to her and she loved it. Some would say she is very talkative, one lady had a little conversation with her and told her she was cute (which she agreed with), that she is agreeable (which she also agreed with) and that she is smart (which she also agreed with LOL)
She is still wearing 6-12 month clothes in some things (bottoms, and certain brands) But she is catching up and is wearing some 18 month clothes, but mostly 12-18 months.
I love that right now,she cuddles in and gives me hugs when I go to put her in the car. I know its because she doesn't feel like getting in her carseat, but I love it. I will stand there for a few min holding her in the parking lot before I put her in her car seat.
I almost forgot! I took her on her first pic nick yesterday after work! We went to Mcdonalds and got some food, then I drove up to the little park behind her daycare, and we had a little pic nick! It wasn't really planned, so I sat on my coat and she sat on her blanket, but she loved it. She actually sat for most of her meal. Then she played at the park for a bit. She loves the slides and teetertater, but really doesn't care about the swings. She always wants me to put her in, but then 2 sec later she says she is all done.
I'm sure there is more I want to write about, but my eyes are starting to cross, and I have to try to stay awake until I can put the load of laundry in the dryer... I seriously just about fell asleep sitting up right there! gtg!
