Let it snow!

It's snowing here! I wish I had waited a bit longer to go outside because now the ground is covered. I'm afraid if we go out again, I'll never get her back inside!

It gets better....

So after several requests of
"I wanna go get a chocolate shake! I don't wanna pretend, I wanna go!!! I wanna get in the car and go to MichaelDonalds and get a chocolate shake! I don't wanna pretend!"
Bob went into the kitchen and made her a real chocolate shake w/ blue bell ice cream and milk and the immersion blender. He poured it into a princess cup with a straw and presented it to her. She was very pleased and took about 4 good sips
and said "I'm all done."
Bob: "That's all you wanted, just a few sips?"
Parker: "Yes."
Then, pointing out the window at the red bird, "LOOK! A cardinal! A cardinal!"

Quick catch up

We're had a rough couple weeks of teething again. Lots of grumpiness and not sleeping and not eating, so I'm low on pictures. She's had a great day today, so maybe we've turned the corner.
I think maybe her appetite is coming back too.
"I wanna go get a chocolate shake! I don't wanna pretend, I wanna go!!!"

And, I almost hate to mention it, because I'm afraid I'll jinx it, but I'm pretty sure we have turned the corner on potty training. She's been 1/2 potty trained since summer, but she's been wearing undies most of the time for a couple weeks now, and she seems motivated to keep it up! She's turning in to such a big kid!
