Priya's In Trouble

Maybe the title should be, We're in trouble.  Little miss has been letting that personality of hers burst out lately and I love and adore her.  She also has such a strong will that she also pushes me to my limits every day.
To help with some of that feisty demand for attention.  I'm trying to spend more one-on-one time with her.  So while Porter goes to school on Tuesdays we go to breakfast.  It's never too soon to start Mommy Daughter dates!  She loved every second of it.  She didn't like IHOP pancakes but really dug into her banana.
While there is some devise confusion she has started to talk on her phone.  So cute!
How can you not give that face exactly what she wants.  I took this today during some more one-on-one time with her during P's naptime.  She loves this elephant of mine from college.  Isn't this the sweetest picture.
The wind has been really strong here the last few weeks and we were buys lots of day passes to our local rec center, so we bought a month membership (a month, isn't that awesome) to save money.  We may have to find a way to afford a membership for me because it  has been so convenient.  The kids go to this amazing drop in day care while I run.  The label on her back is left over from day care.  This is really Priya's first socialization experience and she is just soaking it up.  She refuses to watch from the bouncer like the other kids her age and demands to be out and about with everyone else.  That's my girl, getting her way no matter what!
She loves laundry baskets!  LOVES THEM!  I feel like every time I turn around she is face first in a fresh load of whites with her feet up in the air kicking until she can wiggle her way in.  What is it with kids and laundry?  Such a pretty smile.  She is starting to stand independently.  She's getting so big. :'(
When I feel up for a mess we give her the spoon and let her go to town.  She feels so grown up when we let her feed herself.

This next series of pictures will illustrate Priya's most recent form of mischief.

"Got it!"  Can you see how proud she is?


There has been lots of cheering and clapping for children who sit on the potty.  You better believe she was going to get in on that.  She makes me feel like I should be training her as well.

Did you know that if you remove a few cushions from the sofa and make them stepping stones you get an indoor jungle gym?  My kids have played for 2 hours straight on the sofa like this.


She is one tough cookie!  She keeps falling down the stairs because she insists on going down forwards on her bum.  I'm making progress in this area with her.  Porter has made lots of improvement lately but every once in a while he gets a hard tackle in and AHH!!!  She can take a hit-- which makes me sad, but I'm also really proud of her for being so tough and determined.  If you show her any sign of sympathy, however, she also knows how to milk it. 

Our fiesty little Priya Lynn! We can't help but love her!
