3. I made an afternoon doctor’s appointment for Toodie and about an hour before, I started to get our things ready to go. I was sitting on the computer and she was watching Little Bear behind me in the living room. The whole time I heard a really loud snoring noise but assumed it was my Pug doggie Chloe because this is typical of her! I saw Toodie sitting in our big chair and went to my room to get dressed so we could head out. I came back to get her and this is what I found! My poor baby can fall asleep anywhere when she isn’t feeling well. She was also the source of the loud snoring 🙂

4.  We caught Toodie sniffing one of our dog’s butts the other night. Not really sure what she was doing but I am almost positive it didn’t smell like flowers. Just a hunch…

5.  If you have heard of Pillow Pets then I am sure you are familiar with Dream Lites. Toodie has been asking for a Dream Lite for the past month but the Butterfly she wants had been sold out. My mom found a Ladybug with a similiar concept at Toys R Us to hold her over. Every single night Toodie puts her ladybug on and makes me sing the Dreamlite song from the commercial. I sing it over… over… over.. and over again until she falls asleeep. I have never been so sick of a song with only 4 lines in my life!
 

1. This is Toodie’s new favorite look … she calls them her “zombie eyes.” Regardless if we are at home, at the park, or in the grocery store Toodie likes to put on her zombie eyes for all to see. This past Sunday we went to a barbecue for a friend’s birthday and in the middle of her playing i asked her to let me take a photo. Instead of getting that sweet smile I usually do, guess what I got? ZOMBIE EYES!

2. Speaking of zombies, if you have an iPhone or Android then you have probably heard of the Zombie Booth APP. This app is where I think Toodie really found her love for zombies. You take a photo of yourself and within minutes you are turned into a zombie! It even makes a disgusting wet eating noise when you put your finger where your mouth is in the photo. While at the mall participating in one of those paid surveys, Toodie & I were sitting in the waiting area. She was getting pretty antsy so I gave her my phone and she started taking photos of me. THEN she proceeded to turn me into a zombie. Everyone was starting at us wondering what the crazy munching sound was coming from my phone. I could only smile … how do you tell you people your kid has a passion for all things zombie?


3. Toodie has become just like her mommy in the sense that she smells everything. She smells candles, perfumes, clothing, food before she eats, and now she smells …. mommy’s face! Last night we were sitting in my bed watching television and she came to give me a huge hug. Before releasing she pushed her nose on my face and started sniffing me all over. I asked her if mommy’s face smelled good and she replies, ” Your face smells like banana mommy, i like it!” Then for a good 3-5 she continued to smell it. 


4. With potty training going GREAT, Toodie takes the initiative to go to the potty on her own and do her business. She knows how to make potty, wipe, and then wash her hands all by herself. Proud momma? ABSOLUTELY! This week she asked me to go in with her so i sat patiently on the bathtub ledge and waited for her to go. When she was finished she realized the toilet paper was almost out and there was new one sitting on top. She says “Mommy, can you do me a favor?” She then pointed for me to replace the roll for her. It was so cute to hear her asking nicely for a “favor” from mommy! 


5. Toodie has always loved to sing and dance. This week her favorite song is “Shake What Your Mommy Gave Ya.” I caught her saying it to my mom the other night in the kitchen and also the dogs.  She even adds a little hip movement in there for extra swagger. 

1. Lately Toodie has been adamant about dressing herself and doing everything on her own. This includes picking out her outfit for the day, jammies at night, and even what accessories she would like in her hair. HELLO INDEPENDENCE! This has been very helpful especially on the mornings she goes to school. While i am cooking her breakfast she gets dressed and it saves me and extra few minutes. The only problem is, she puts everything on backwards! I took this photo the other night while she was distracted. 

 2. Preparing for Mother’s Day Sunday, I had Victoria decorating a card for her grandma and when she was all done she looked at me and said, “Mommy, this is gonna make grandma SOOOOOO happppyy.”  You could tell she was proud of herself for covering the whole entire envelope with stickers, there was no inch uncovered! 

3.  Friday was a special day for Toodie and daddy. They spent the day at Butterfly world. When she came home she got in her pajamas (backwards of course) and i asked her how her day was. I always try and ask her what she does everyday whether she is home or our for the day. Last night when i asked her what she did at Butterfly World she gave me a few short sentences. She told me she saw butterflies flying around how pretty they were. When i asked her what else she saw her answer was,” I’m done talking.”  Well OKAY then! I guess that wraps up our Butterfly World conversation! 


4. Toodie has been loving her fruits lately. She eats watermelon almost everyday and I think this is pretty much her favorite fruit right now. The other night she was sitting next to me watching television, eating her watermelon. I was working on homework for my class and I turn over to see her chatting with herself. She ate a piece of watermelon and said ” Yeah that’s pretty good. Thank you!” It’s so cute to see her have conversations with herself. I am just waiting for the day she has an imaginary friend. 


5.Whenever I am on the phone with someone, Toodie HAS to say hello. It does not matter if it’s a friend,family member, or recording from Walgreens to pick up my photos. The best part is she actually thinks that the person on the phone can “see” her and what she is doing. My best friend called me the other night and Toodie was rambling on about whoopie pies. She took the phone away from her ear and put it in front of the whoopie pie book and said ” You see whoopie pies, i like them, i want to make chocolate one.” This is such a funny sight to see.
