HAPPY SPRING!!!!

The first signs if spring around our house!

Housecleaning

Charlie likes to help me vacuum. She used the hand vac while I use the big one. She thinks it is quite fun!

So Thoughtful!

Bodie has a class on Tuesday nights until 9:00pm! I also work all day Tuesdays and Charlie is at the sitter's all day. Tuesday also happens to be half price happy meal day at McDonalds. Charlie and I have been making it a date every Tuesday to go get chicken nuggets. The toys this week were littlest pet shop. It is a little bird with a holder on top of it. Charlie LOVED the bird (she got a kitten last week). She was so excited for me to open it and then she started "sharing" her chicken nugget with the bird. One bite for Charlie, one bite for the bird (the first chicken nugget eating bird I have seen!). She was so pleased with herself and then she started sharing french fries too! Very thoughtful, Charlie!

It is funny to watch her do things like that. She is starting to share her sippy cip and binky with all of her babies. We have a rocker in her room and she likes to sit in it with her baby and say "rock....baby." Such a little mommy! She is getting to be such a big girl!

Tea Set

Charlie's favorite thing to do at Nana and Pop's house is to play with the tea set. She learned how to say "tea set" last time we were down there. My parents also have this addorable little table and chair set, which is perfect for playing tea party!

OUTSIDE!

Now that it is getting nicer outside, Charlie has been having fun being out! Anytime she hears the word "out" or "outside" she immediately goes to find her shoes and coat. She stands by the door and says OUT until I open the door and we go outside. Thanks to my friend, Heather, she now has this very cool outside slide/swing/climbing structure to play on. Thanks Heather!!!

I also got her some sidewalk chalk. I tell her go to write "C for Charlie" and she gets the chalk and draws lines while saying "C"
"C"

Flashback

My mom still has a few things from my childhood, including this "Brooke" hat and the shoes Charlie is wearing. Funny to think that I wore these and now my daughter is wearing them! This is a little baby doll crib that Jenn and I use to play with all of the time. Hopefully Charlie will have as much fun with it as we did!

Helper???!!!!!

We went to school with Bodie last weekend to help him get some grades in the books for progress reports. Charlie likes toddling around the classroom and sitting in the desks.
