Lolo, It Sorta Cwushed

First I have to apologize to Traci. Sorry you are hearing about this through my blog, but it is just to late at night for me to call you and tell you what happened.

Traci and Tim gave Mattie May a Tinkerbell snow globe. Mattie May, like most kids her age, is fascinated with snow globes. She loves them. And this one isn't just a snow globe. It's really big! About 12" tall. It can be turned on and a fan blows the snow around and music plays. It really is cool. And it's Tink!

Well, it was having problems tonight and wouldn't work. It has brand new batteries so I knew that wasn't the problem. I put it to the side and told her Grumpy would have to look at it when he got home. He is the repair guy after all, not me!

We went on about out business, and I forgot about the snow globe. I had stepped into a different room for just a minute and I hear Mattie May call me. The conversation went a little like this -

MM "Lolo?"

Me "Yes Baby?"

MM "It's sorta cwushed!"

Me "What?"

That's when she brought me this and said "It's sort of cwushed, Lolo!"

Yep! It's sort of crushed!

Good Ol' Summer Time

Mattie May is home and I am off the rest of the week so we played today!! We had some things to do early and took her mommy lunch, but late this evening we went to the pool. This year she is tall enough to be in the shallow end by herself. You can see in this picture, she is on her knees and still above water.














We practiced blowing bubbles, preparing to learn to go under and hold our breath.














She even ventured out across the pool by herself. She is such a big girl. You can see, there are very few people there. That is why I like going late in the afternoon.














After we got home, she pulled a can off a shelf onto her nose. She didn't cry, she just looked at me and said "Lolo that hurt. I need a banded aid." So of course...














And check this one out...
Yes, that is Tinker Bell on her hiney, but the important thing to notice is she is wearing big girl panties! We had a couple of accidents today, they were my fault. So tomorrow, we will still be working on the training thing, but will also be hitting the pool a couple of times. I will have more pictures too!
