Liberty Rocks Out

I bought Liberty this little microphone for $2.00 at Target last night. Here's her rendition of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star....

(it's not the best sound quality so you might need to turn your speakers WAY up)

And the ABC Song....

Potty Party Weekend

Wow. This has been quite a week! We have been working on potty training for a few months now with no real results, but this week we finally saw some action! On Monday, she pee peed twice in the potty at Grammy's house which kind of got the ball rolling, and this weekend has been "all panties all the time" or "panty boot camp" as my friend Becca would say. She has managed to stay dry ALL WEEKEND (so far.) I don't want to jinx it or anything...but I think she is really getting it!

Yesterday we were taking her to the potty every 30-45 minutes, but as of last night, she is able to get there and do it all by herself! She has had dry panties all weekend and even did great when we went out to the park and the flea market. She gets a sticker every time she goes potty and then she gets to wash up with this smelly green foamy "Kandoo" kid soap that I got her, which she thinks is a reward in itself.

I don't know what to expect for the next couple of weeks, but I am pretty excited about how great she is doing and I hope she keeps it up! She is turning into such a big kid. I almost can't believe it.

Today at the Park

I like to move it move it....

My V-Day Present...

Happy Valentine's Day to me!! I finally got my Liberty Rose tattoo....thanks to my hubby and my old friend Ellie Geyer at FTW tattoo in Oakland. It was still brand new and swollen in this pic. I'll post another once it's fully healed. I love it.

P.S.-It wasn't that bad...in case you were asking yourself "oh my God, how bad did that hurt??"

My kid is hilarious, Reason # 4,365...

Last night I asked Liberty to please stop picking her nose, so she looked up at me and asked me for a "nose towel"

hee hee.

funny kid.

A Few Park Pics....

We spent a couple hours at Lake Elizabeth yesterday with Jess and Jack. The weather was gorgeous (almost 70*!) and the kids had a great time. Liberty was very sad to leave and sobbed all the way to the car.

Captain Jack!


Stoney and Jack playing catch while Liberty hugged a tree....

She loves to throw pebbles in the water and talk to the ducks.....

"Weeeeeeeeee"

New paint for the Caddy....

Something you won't see too often.....

On January 17th, Belle celebrated her 5th birthday with a princess tea party at a place called Super Franks. Liberty had so much fun dressing up with all the other little girls and even though I am generally pretty anti-princess, it was a lot of fun for me too because this year she was big enough to really participate and have fun with her cousin Belle, who she completely and utterly ADORES.

Habitot Children's Museum

We took BART to this cute little museum in downtown Berkeley last weekend and met Lisa and Zachary there. Liberty had a great time on the train and even sat in her seat the whole time (45 minutes each way!) and at the museum and the only problem was when she got stuck in this "wiggle wall" and had to be extracted by a staff member, hahaha. It was horrible, yet funnier than it sounds.



Right before she got stuck....





This is someplace we would definitely go again!! It's much smaller than the san Jose Children's Museum but all of the activities are perfect for her age.
