My Little Diva in Spring Time

By -
Ok - so I don't think Marie is a diva at all but if you only saw this picture, how could you not think so? She is loving the "symbolic" stroller Nicole got me at my baby shower in Tucson. I pulled it out a few weeks ago thinking she is old enough now to enjoy it and boy does she ever. She pushes it, pulls it, picks it up, puts all kinds of stuff instead of it, even runs it over with the push car.
We have been enjoying the beautiful spring weather last week (this week is has been raining since Wednesday) and last weekend Dan and I finally put together the "yard plastic" we got for free from a neighbor. Basically they had it sitting on a trailer to haul away to goodwill for at least a year and one day when I was feeling courgeuous I knocked and the door and basically asked if I could have it. She was thrilled to give it to me, as they obviously weren't using it and it wasn't likely to go to goodwill anytime soon. So... here are some pictures of Marie enjoying her new "playset".

I don't know what has happened to me, but the hedious yard plastic looks fantastic to me. I keep raging at my sloped yard thinking how much fun Andrew would have with such things.

And Marie looks so adorable with that little stroller!!!! I keep thinking if Nibblet is a girl, I'll have to buy a little doll stroller early on so Andrew can enjoy it for a while first (and then I'd have an excuse to own such a thing).

A Few More of my Favorite (Mommy) Things

I know I am going over board with this but as I was nursing my son last night and he was cuddling with his doggie, I thought of a few more... Identical Lovey - Once your child has clearly established a lovey, get a second one exactly the same. It makes switching them out for washing so much easier and if your child is sick and throws up all over Lovey #1, you can "pretend" to quickly clean it and swap it out with the ready-and-waiting clean Lovey #2. We actually have 3 of my son's doggie - one is permanently in the car, one in his room and the last stays hidden in a closet for "back up". Cold Soothie Paci for Teething - We used this type of paci only for a very short time when my kids were newborns, then we switched to a Avent kind that is less likely to fall out... anyway, I kept this kind and figured out these are great when kids are teething. Put them in the freezer and they get nice and cold but not too hard like ice. Since the whole thing is that rubber...

JJ is at it again

Last year my mother-in-law gave us a plastic snow globe, which, the kids LOVE. I think that's in part because they are actually allowed to play with it and real snow globes are off limits. With JJ it is a very good thing real snow globes are off limits. Just watch this:

A Few of My Favorite (Mommy) Things

One of my favorite (no, it is my FAVORITE) blogs is It's Almost Naptime and Missy is doing a Mom-to-Mom post where anyone (even the likes of me) can submit some of their mommy tips and how-tos to make life easier. So without further ado here are some of my favorite things, with and without photos: Contoured Laundry Basket - a MUST-HAVE for any mom with a baby - you can hold it and the baby while going up and down the stairs! And even when you aren't holding a baby, you are likely holding something else. The Time Timer - a visual "clock" for kids who can't yet tell time. We use it for quiet time and I can put up to 2 hours on the clock (the red can wrap around twice) and tell Marie she can come out of her room when "all the red is gone." It's on the expensive side but very cool. (Thanks for telling me about it Jane.) Frozen, Rotten Bananas - well kind of... our household won't eat bananas if they are the slightest bit mushy. Once they ar...
