Flower Girl for Hire

Fiona made her flower girl debut this weekend. It was Godmother Rebecca's wedding and Fiona was amazing. She threw flowers, walked down the aisle, and smiled. Pretty darn good for less than 2.5 years old. She showed up everyone else and was the cutest girl. Look for a link to pictures soon. We took lots of video too so expect some YouTube links too.

Fiona is.....

So cute. She has been walking around saying "I am so cute" the past 2 days. I think we are in trouble when she realizes what that means.

Fiona and Tissues

I totally took this story from Kevin but it works for me: Yesterday, I told you you had a booger on your lip. (I called you, "Booger Nose.") You walked over to the couch, climbed up, and pulled down the box of tissues. You took out one tissue, held it up to your nose, and blew your nose. You folded the tissue and blew your nose again. Once you were done, I managed to help you (wiping your nose even more). You then took the tissue to the trash and threw it in the trashcan.

Potty Time

Before her bath tonight Fiona told me that she wanted to go "privacy". Privacy means she wants to use the potty. Usually Kevin or I will go in with her but tonight she wanted to go by herself. I was told to wait in the hallway. I heard her pull down her pants, the Velcro rip on her diaper, and the noises that come from sitting on the potty.

When she is finished using the restroom Fiona typically likes to use toilet paper which she then puts in the big toilet. Tonight she got the toilet paper by herself, lifted the lid of the big toilet, and put the toilet paper in the big toilet by herself.

After flushing the toilet Fiona opened the bathroom door and said "all done mommy....wash hands".

Bedtime cuteness

After I out Fiona in her crib tonight she kept talking to me. When I get to the door I always yell "goodnight Fiona. I love you." And she usually tells back "good night mommy. I love you."

Tonight we had that exchange and then I closed the door. Fiona kept yelling "goodnight mommy" and then waited for me to yell back "goodnight Fiona." If I didn't respond she would keep yelling until I did.

That is a melt my heart moment of sweetness.

Fiona and the animals

Fiona loves Maggie Mae, Bogey, and Fizz. She has a different favorite activity for each pet.

1) Fiona loves to take Maggie Mae for a walk. She likes to help put on Maggie Mae's collar and leash and then walks around the block with us narrating everything.

2) Fiona has found the bag of toys for Bogey. She now pulls out the bag of "Bogey toys" and chases Bogey around the house yelling "here Bogey, here Bogey, here Bogey."

3) Fiona really enjoys feeding the cats. She can open the container of food, prepare the scoop of food, and dump it into the cats' bowl. She will then return to the food box, put the lid on the box, and push it back into the closet. All by herself.

Apologies

I apologize for not updating the blog more often. Fiona does so many incredible things every day it's hard to keep track sometimes. I'm going to try and do a post every day on something she has done that day or has done recently. Thanks for your patience and stay tuned for many more updates to come.
