Random Ramblings & Weekend Fun

Our weekend was mostly relaxing. We did adventure out Saturday to Amazing Jake's since they were having all day unlimited buffet, rides and games for $16.99. We stayed for over 5 hours and had a blast! Haylee was in Heaven since she got to ride the carousel about 5 times, as well as the train, tea cups, cars with Daddy, and the mini himalaya with Mommy. I love to see her big ol' smile when she is having a good time.

We also bowled which was a first for Haylee. We helped her take the ball up to the line and toss it, but the second it left her fingers her foot kicked out like she was trying to kick it. As she watched the ball go down the lane she'd continue to kick her foot out and say, "go, go!" She was so proud of herself and would clap her hands and cheer.

I think one of her favorite things to do at Amazing Jake's is eat her own ice cream cone. She only likes the ice cream for a little bit then starts eating the cone from the bottom. She's a silly girl.

That was pretty much our weekend. That and shopping for more stuff to begin my 200+ Christmas card project!

Some random tidbits I wanted to add-

*We have started round 2 of Potty Training. I don't think I would have started again this quick if I didn't have an 8 month urgency to get her trained. She did great today though and went twice in the big girl potty and didn't even go in her diaper during nap time. One time she actually emptied her entire bladder in the potty (opposed to starting in the hall and then yelling, "mommy I have to go potty!" as she makes a trail to the potty). Potty training has proved to be the biggest challenge yet, and we still have to switch her to a big girl bed!

*Haylee has become our little squirrel lately. She has started packing her food in her cheek and keeps it there for awhile. I'm not sure why she does this but she now refers to herself as a squirrel too.

*I absolutely love to listen to Haylee on the monitor when it's time for bed or when she first wakes up. She just talks up a storm and goes over everything we did that day, or even a couple days before. I just crack up listening to her. After coming home from a birthday party last weekend she sang happy birthday for an hour before falling asleep. After going to Amazing Jake's she recites- I go on the carousel, train, tea cups, eat pizza, ice cream, got ball, bracelet, sucker, ducky........The OCD is starting already and she's only 2!!! Poor little girl.

*Lastly, I have to mention this because I think Jackson is one of a kind. I think he knows my frustration with his hair all over because he sees me constantly cleaning, vacuuming, dusting etc. So now every time I get the vacuum out (usually 3 times a week) he'll come stand next to me and wag his tail so that I'll take to hose and run it over his back to get the loose hair. Nothing like getting to the root of the problem!
