The Princess Diaries: Nana and Papa's visit and Disney's February visit

This will be short because it’s all our pics from Disney and then just a little commentary. I'll do another blog later on the potty training that we started this weekend but it’s going very well so far!

Ashlan has been identifying musical instruments for a few months now. She can point out a piano, violin, clarinet, drums, trumpet, and guitar. It must be all those little Einsteins she watches, lol. That is probably her favorite show. One time a show came on and played a famous tune and she immediately shouted, "Tchaikovsky", which was the song’s composer, lol, and she was right.

Her new thing is saying, "Aw, how sweet. How sweet.”, like when she sees a baby or kitten, etc. She’ll even clasp her hands together. She also says, “I have an idea”, lol. Her allergies have been acting up with all this pollen (or maybe just a cold?), but she can get a tissue, wipe her own nose, and throw it away. That’s nice for me. : )

We were in the grocery store in January, and she was just about to touch something. All of a sudden, she looked me and said, "No ma'am, I don't think so". Lol! I am so guilty of saying this to her and apparently it sunk in because she didn’t touch it.

On to the pics...

Another big change this month was changing Ashlan's bed from a crib to a toddler bed. We put a foam noodle in so she wouldn't fall out. She did a few times, but she is excellent now at staying put.

Had to include this one...I tried to take her binky out and ask her to smile,

and this is what she did. Ah, toddlers. :)

Walking with Nana to the park in her tutu.

Running to the park.

All smiles.

Big slide.

So much fun. :)

Going down with Papa.

Check out her face, lol.

Then Papa ended up at the bottom.

Ashlan grabbed Nana's cane and then we put her shawl on her. We were dying.

Snuggle time.

Never leave a toddler alone with chocolate. :)

It was everywhere...in her hair, on her clothes, hands, face, etc.

We got season passes to Disney so we will be going a lot this year! These are from our first trip as passholders but we were there with Ashlan when she was 18 months old. It went WAY better this time and she really enjoyed herself and so did we! Going again in a few weeks, since we're planning on going once a month to get use out of our passes.
