February Ice Day #2

Ice Day #2 has found us covered in paint, fake snow, Cheerios, and broccoli. To say that we have been on the go since 5AM would be an understatement. While our day has been fully filled, it has surely been a lot of fun.

Our little lady didn't get the memo again that schools would be closed for a second day here in North Dallas. Between 4:30 and 5:00AM our little miss was in tears and up for the day. Sadly this wasn't a "she'll go back to sleep" moment. This will be a full week and a few days since she's had a bottle which has probably lead to some of these early morning rises. She likes to cuddle her big girl cup like a lovey, but we are simply in refusal mode at this point. She will usually tell me hungee (hungry), wada (water), or waful (waffle). This morning baby girl was crying for broccoli and cheese. After a bit of breakfast and some morning cuddles, we were all smiles and ready for a morning of baby play and painting fun.

Our second ice day craft was making fake snow. We used a typical online recipe of baking soda and conditioner. What was created was a good 15 minutes of ice day fun.

Here's to a special day of ice day crafts and activities. May she have a really great nap and then more afternoon of ice play.

Little Miss had a great and much needed nap. But our afternoon was a little more up and down. I think the whole house has been a little stir crazy these past two days. Our little girl is definitely testing her boundaries. She's learned to climb on the chair, the couches, her plastic garden, the wooden play school bus, her Einstein toy, and pretty much anything she can. Her favorite thing to do as of late is to say Mommy or Daddy, stand, give a smirk, and then say "sit down" to herself right before she pops up again and does it all over. There are so many times that I would so love to laugh at her, as compared to making a sad face and telling her it was a sad choice or to sit down please. On the not so funny side, we are in the throwing and whining phase when we don't get exactly what we want. This is few and far between, but we have found this to be true over the last two days. I do love that she is so much better at communicating with us. She can tell us if she's tired (nigh nigh), hungry (hungee) and what food, thirsty (wada), or even if there is a toy she wants. Today it was all about the food. Oh how my mini loves her broccoli, waffles, beans, blueberries, cheese, and yogurt. Tonight was definitely an early bedtime for our little, but I have to say... even though it was one of those days, I can't wait to wake up and do it again. Right now we are unsure if we'll see an Ice Day #3 as snow is about to come around 1AM and continue until 9AM tomorrow. So here's to enjoying the sweet moments and unexpected adventures ahead.
