Stats at 2.75 years!

Natalie has been growing fast. I thought I should put in some stats of the fun things she does, or she will grow fast again and they will be forgotten. Have to keep tabs on this one!
A couple of nights ago, she stated, "I'm the queen!" She proceded to set up a chair as her "throne". As I played with her, if she wanted some toy I had, she would say. "No, mommy! It's for the QUEEN!" and take it from me. It was hard to compose myself and remind her about sharing.

Potty training is going slow. She loves to sit on the potty. Problem: does NOT want to take her pants off to do it. So- peeing on the potty, yes, but the diaper is in the way! I'm starting to think she might need the "wear big girl pants until you get sick of making a mess of yourself" kids.

Her current favorite foods are Spaghetti (with cheese on it), PB&J sandwiches, bananas and grapes. Oh, and mini-corn dogs and french fries.

She still loves to pretend she is an animal of some sort. Mostly doggies, but sometimes a frog or cat.

She came home from daycare and said as she cried, "I hurt Matthew" (her BEST friend at daycare). I asked her if she said sorry. She said no. I asked her if he was sad, she said yes. So I asked Debbie (our daycare provider) about it. She said, "yep! she hit him over the head with a hammer!" She talks about Matthew (mat-pew) a LOT!

Her fave show by FAR is "Wow-Wow Wubbzy". Right now her Elmo goes Potty video is high on the list, too.
She weighs about 40 lbs and wears girls size 5 shirts (no more -T!) and 4T pants. She's a tall one!

I'm sure I'll think of more, but that's a good list for now!

Piggy Bank!

Being silly.



Grandma and Papa helped me put some coins in my piggy bank.
It was fun!

A visit from G&G Nuytten

Daddy went fishing to Lake of the Woods this weekend, so Grandma and Grandpa Nuytten came to keep me from getting to lonesome. We went to B-dubs. Here I am with Grandma.


I got a cute new shirt, so I wanted to model it.
Isn't it cute?



I also had to dance around in it a bit, I liked it so much!

Good, Clean Fun!

I have a new laundry basket with princesses on it. I love it so much, I'd rather play with it than put dirty clothes in it. I like to wear it on my head.

I see you!

Let me out!

I like to read!

I was having breakfast (Life cereal, my favorite right now) downstairs at my table. Mommy was having coffee with her book. I decided I wanted a book to read, too, so I took mommy's. It was very interesting.
