Dressing Up!

Sydney's is becoming such a typical girl. She loves playing dress up. She will find whatever shoes, glasses, hats, etc. around the house and put them on. I know what to get her for her next birthday!!!!

Signs of Spring!

Well, spring is here finally and it's beginning to get warm enough to venture outside. High near 40 degrees and we are jumping for joy. Never thought I would be saying that but it's true. Sydney's latest craze is being outside on the playground. She tries to do everything but her favorite has to be the slide. She will slide down then run back toward the stairs for more.

Tried to get Mason to eat his zucchini the other night. Matt says, "Eat it. It's good!" Mason screams, "It's not good! It's bad!" We can't help but laugh at that. Sydney wasn't too crazy about it either and she'll eat everything in sight (including things she shouldn't). So I guessa I'm all alone when it comes to eating zucchini.

Sydney's latest words are nana for banana, bi for bite (when she wants what you are eating), boo for book, whoa for something extraordinary, baby, hi, and poo poo for when she needs her diaper changed. She can now point to nine body parts.....eyes, ears, nose, mouth, belly, feet, hands, hair, head. When Matt's putting his uniform on to go to work, she will run over to him and put her arms out for a goodbye hug and kiss. Mason then orders daddy to give him a hug and kiss and give mommy one too.

Moving to Florida!!!!!

Matt is bathing the kids so I have a moment to write a new blog for everyone. I get a break and it's so wonderful.

Well, it seems we are counting the days until we move to Florida. Matt and I went down a couple weeks ago and are in the process now of buying our new home. Mason calls it his new big castle. We are so excited. We also were able to enroll Mason in a church-based preschool right near our house. I just hope he loves it as much as he likes his current school. We can't wait to be closer to everyone. I will be so spoiled if we have to move again. YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!

1, 2, 3......ARGUE!

I am totally convinced that your child turns three. Their language skills have quadrupled and they have the constant urge to argue with you. Mason will ask me questions quizzing me on things and when I don't know the "right" answer, here comes the argument. He will then proceed to tell me what I said that was wrong.
Mason - "Mommy, what's that?" Mommy - "It's an airplane." Mason - "No, it's not. It's a jet!" He's right. It's a fighter jet. I'll never understand where he comes up with this stuff.

He's even become so sophisticated that he's now putting his sis in timeout. Sydney was trying to get at his shoes the other day. (She loves playing with shoes.) Mason kept telling her no, no, no, Sydney. I guess he had had enough and next thing we knew he was pushing her back up to the entertainment center. Mason - "Sydney, you're in timeout. Don't do anything. Don't touch anything. Timeout, Sydney." Sydney just looks at Mason like he's nuts. Matt and I are still talking about it to this day. So hilarious!

Sydney takes after her mommy. Everything has to be put away. Her newest "habit" is that once she's done getting her diaper changed, she has to throw the diaper away herself. If you forget and take the diaper away yourself, you will regret it. Screams and crying like you've never seen. She takes the diaper and walks right over to the pantry door waiting for you to open it. Such a good girl!!!!!
