Happy Birthday my sweet Mia!

Terrible Twos?

NO WAY!!!

I think it's more like TERRIFIC TWOS!!

This sweet and spunky little girl turned two today AND finally pee peed in the potty. We sang to her this morning and made some purple pancakes, but forgot to take pics and then got ready and took her to Jumping Jacks (a place with bouncy houses) which she really didn't like at first and was really scared to get in them, but she finally got brave and got in and actually had fun. Mom then treated us for lunch, yummy and thanks!!  It was a great day, but that's not all.........Mia peeing in the potty was like the cherry on top.

Yes sireeee, Mia went to the potty all by herself for the first time.

We kind of noticed that she had been ready, but just a little scared. She didn't know what to expect before. She's been in underwear a few times now and has had minor accidents. We have sat her down on the potty so she could go, but nothing ever came out. Today was different. She was already in her underwear when she came out of her room and said she had to go and we thought she had probably already peed on the carpet, but there were only a few drops here and there nothing big and so Jahvel took her to the restroom and left her in there all by herself and she went. When she was finished we all went in and celebrated her accomplishment with her. I can't describe how beautiful that moment was and that big smile she had as we cheered for her.

I love this little girl even though she drives me nuts most of the time, but I am proud at how fast she is learning and I have to give her big sister a little credit here so thanks Velani for being such a GREAT big sister!!!

This has really been a great day and I just want to let her know that I love her and that having her has been really exciting and fun. I just knew this girl was gonna be different. I seriously thought she was gonna be a boy before we actually found out she would be a girl. She was always moving and kicking and making my tummy look sooooo weird and seriously making me say "OUCH!" many many times. She is full of surprises and I just never know what to expect next, but I do know that it's not good. She has done sooo many things that make me get frustrated and I just want to pull all my hair out, but I love her and when I think of all these things now it just makes me laugh.

1- found her in the restroom with powder all over herself and on the floor and walls.
2- caught her with mommy's make up and her face and carpet were covered with pink blush.
3- found her in the shower with shampoo all over her hair, hands and legs and half the bottle on the shower floor.
4- caught her on top of Velani and pulling her hair and making her cry

just to name a few.

I knew she'd be different and I am glad she is.
