Flower girl dress

My little girl will be the flower girl in my best friend's wedding in September and I picked up her dress yesterday. She tried it on in the store and as I was buttoning up the back I had a flash into the future of buttoning up her wedding dress...sigh

So the dress was regularly 100 and I got it for 30...Big deal! She looks so adorable in it too and she agrees, she was in love with herself. LOL

Here it is!

Sorting

Today I decided to get back into the learning activities with Rebecca after reading some inspiring posts from Jill's Blog

I took a tray and put a few different small items in it and let her use a spoon to put the items into different spots...it was kinda boring so I tested her by saying to put the same type of items together...she did SO well with this and was very proud of herself. She was so quiet too! This girl usually talks non-stop all day long, but I guess she had to concentrate so hard that she couldn't talk too! LOL. She put all the shells together, and the stars and rocks etc. Then after that I said that she could put the shells into the container to put away and she actually started to put only the same kind of things into one container, so I got her a few more and she put the 4 different items in the containers! If she grabbed the wrong one by mistake she would correct herself before putting it in, it was so cute.

Jackson had to see if there was any food in there...like he needs anymore!

Happy 2nd Birthday Rebecca!!



OMG my baby girl is 2!!!! I just can't believe it! I can remember so clearly when she was born, then I remember her first birthday and thinking about how I couldn't believe she was 1 and now it seems like only a month has past and she is 2! That saying is so very sadly true about how fast they grow up. I think about how in 2 years she has learned to speak in sentences, run like the wind, ride her trike, finally go to bed on her own, tell me she loves me so much, and has brightened every day in my life the past 2 years. I love this little girl more than I ever imagined possible, I can't imagine my life without her in it.

So happy birthday my little sunshine, I love you!

Canada Day Fun

Yesterday was Canada Day and first we went to our local festivities but they sucked because it had been raining and it was kinda all for big kids. We let Becca go on the swings for a bit and then we decided to go to the next town over and see what was there.

Not a whole lot more but they had a beach so we went for a little "swim" and played in the sand for a bit. At first she didn't like it and just sat on this rock and watched the waves go in and out but Daddy was brave and went for a swim and then she decided to be brave and went in with him. Then of course she didn't want to leave! It was so fun and nice. The I dropped my camera in the water, but only a bit, but enough for it not to work right. Josh said to put it in a bag with rice overnight so it would soak up the moisture and voila it did!!!!




I just have to say that Josh is a wonderful man and he has really shown us how much he loves us and wants our family together. He has been amazing and I fell in love with him again. I actually get the tingles again....it had been so long. We both have things to work on, like my communication and him helping out with things...but so far we both are doing great!
