New outfits

My mom loves to sew for WC. And she's AWESOME at it. The picture on the right is one of the many outfits she's made. This one is a favorite...it's a flag bubble with a pocket in the front that WC loves putting things in. But then she gets mad because she can't get whatever she put in there out. lol

The picture on the left is of WC sporting a gorgeous dress handmade by my friend Christine! She sells these at boutiques and we just happen to be given one :) Lucky lady!

Young's Dairy Farm

Young's Dairy is an amazing place! There are goats (and lots of them), cows, chickens, and different baby animals! They make their own cheeses and ice cream (deeee-licious) and there are lots of different things for the kids to do! WC LOVES it here. She loves all the animals and the Kiddie Corral where there were slides, a corn pit, and little tractors to ride!

We went with another family from church, the Ellises and they have to boys 14 months a part. They are boys boys and WC loves playing with them....and she gets a taste of her own medicine too :)

Young's is only about 20 minutes from our house and it's free to go to. We can't wait to go back!

Child abuse??? Nawwwww.......

For the past few weeks, I've been trying to decide how we need to discipline Miss WC. Little 'pankins haven't worked because she really just doesn't care! Then I decided the time out chair which was just one hot mess. I don't feel she's old enough to be taught to stay there and sit. Well, she is...but if you haven't met my child...you could see why I wouldn't want to have to fight her on this just yet. (I'm learning to pick and choose my battles with this strong headed one!). So I had a dear friend tell me to just put her in the pack n play for time out. One problem....I don't have any room to set it up, so she mentioned that I try her travel booster seat. So I strapped it in her time out chair and put it in the corner.

Not only does this work, but she can't stand it! After only being in there for about 25 seconds, she starts asking to get "up up up up" but I make her stay her full minute. When her time is up, she has to give whoever she was naughty to a hug. I need to video her in time out because it's HILARIOUS! I have to either go in another room or hide my face because it's so funny.

We'll see how long this chair is effective :)

Trying Two's at 18 Months?

I guess some kids just get to this stage early. Or maybe it's just WC's personality! She is such a firecracker and she wears me out! This is why I have been lacking in blogging lately. I am too pooped at night from chasing her around and also carrying around a growing baby in my belly! I can't even form sentences at night!

I think I've been doing a good job with WC and having patience. There are some days though where she has pushed me all day long and I can't do it anymore! She is very persistent and knows exactly how, when, and what she wants. Taking away toys and distracting her has been the most effective way of discipline lately. She does NOT like to have her toy taken away if she's not playing with it correctly or have her sippy taken away when she throws it in anger. The big thing we are trying to tackle right now is her scratching me when she gets mad. She doesn't do this to Chris however.....I guess daddy is more fun that I am!

On another note, I feel like T2 has been just thrown under the rug with all the running around I do for WC. SOOOO....we had a GREAT doctor appointment yesterday. She has a strong heart beat and they went over the results of the ultrasound I had last month and she looks perfect. Can't wait to meet her, but she needs to stay in my belly as long as possible! ha!

We love our girls and can't wait to be a family of four!
