Early Easter Gift...

*I surprised Trin today by making a stop at the American Girl store before meeting a couple friends for lunch in Chicago and buying her the Bitty Baby Twins stroller so that she can have a little more fun with her new dolls! We took her outside for a bit tonight, and she thought she was big stuff pushing her dolls around. Anytime CJ or I tried to help her steer the stroller, she would push our hands off and say, "No Mommy," or "No Daddy." Little Miss Independent can do ALL things by herself...or so she thinks. :)

It's Good to be Two...

*Yesterday, I had a "flash-forward" of Trin in about 14 years as she's leaving to go meet Autumn somewhere...I was folding clothes when Trin came into the living room with her purse (her new purse from Auntie Shanny) and keys. She said, "Bye Bye, Mommy. Have fun!" As she headed toward the door, she turned around, ran back to me, and said, "Kiss? Kiss?" So of course I gave her a kiss. She then said, "Hug? Hug?" So after we hugged, she again said, "Bye Bye Mommy! Have fun." She then proceeded to go put MY shoes on and then asked me to open the door for her. I had to draw the line there. :) Had I opened the door for her, she might have really thought she was going to meet Autumn. I had a "moment" though because if these next 14 years pass as quickly as the past two, she'll be going "Bye Bye" for real. Let's just hope I still get that wonderful, sweet kiss and hug goodbye from her when she's a teenage. ;)

*With God blessing us with this gorgeous beautiful weather, we just couldn't stay inside. So off to the park we went...

Tyler's Tender, Bath Time, & Afro-Puff...

*Spring Break is here and I am having a blast spending a lot of TLC time with CJ and Triniti. Today my friend, Michelle, (and her daughter, Autumn) came over to hang out. We took the girls to Tyler's Tender, and they had a blast...

*Michelle and I could not stop laughing at the fact that Trin had to "hold Autumn's face" when they kissed. :)

*Poor Autumn wasn't interested in the train ride without her Mama...so Trin rode solo...

*So then Michelle tried the other train option...that, too, was a no-go for Autumn once it started to move. :(

*After a long day (and NO nap), I decided tonight was the perfect time to try out the new bath items Trin got for her birthday from her Auntie Shanny. First up, we dyed the bath water green by mixing Elmo's blue and yellow tablets together...

*Next, we took out Elmo's bath paint and had a little fun with that...

*And finally, the Afro-Puff!!! Most people that come in contact with Trin either see her hair all up in a ponytail, or in two separate pigtails. I'm always telling people how long her hair really is, and also how "uncontrollable" her curls are. See for yourself below...

*And finally, a video of Trin during her bath tonight...
