Disney On Ice

Skylar had the joy of dressing up as Snow White and going with Momma to Disney On Ice. She and about 1000 other little girls were all dressed to the 9's in their princess outfits. Skylar and her friend Mackenzie (aka Tinker Bell) were so excited, that they hopped and hollered all the way from the entrance down to the pre-show princess viewing. We eneded up with front row seats!! This was great for Skylar and Mackenzie. Both girls stood in shock and awe for the entire 2 1/2 hour performance. Afterward, the parking garage was jamb-packed with cars, so we let the girls chase each other around in a circle for about 30 minutes. Skylar passed out in her carseat before we even pulled out of our spot. ;-) When we got home, she was so exhausted but refused to take her costume off and insisted that Bianca be one of her dwarfs. As usual, B was such a good sport!

Baby Bianca

Bianca got a few little toys for christmas and she is so entertained by them. Here she is playing with her baby elephant, and a few more recent pics of her. This little turkey only likes to take little cat naps during the day - like 30 or 40 minutes at a time. She is sleeping from 10-5 at night though and for this I am very grateful! She really likes her mom and dad and has already started crying at other people. This cracks me up! She seems to cry when she sees her Grancy and her Uncle Charlie - 2 of the kindest souls on earth. Thats why its funny... because its downright ridiculous!

Playing Pretend

Skylar: "Momma, should we pretend to go bye-bye?"

Mom: "No, Skylar, lets actually get in the car and go to the YMCA."

Skylar: "But... I want to PRETEND to go the YMCA."

Oh the world of a 2 year old and her imagination is incredible. Skylar got a kitchen for christmas and has been pretending to make meals in it day in and day out. Its been well worth the money already! If you come over for a visit, plan on having a meal of a hotdog sandwich with fries, a vat of soup, and coffee thats really hot. Yum.

My aunt Janelle sent Skylar a snow white costume, which she loves. She immediately had to put it on and dig out 7 baby dolls to be her dwarfs. They were lined up on our couch for 3 days! Shes never seen the movie (damn those disney people and their silly special releases... grrr.) but I've told her the story so shes invented a game of pretend. Thanks, Janelle, for the costume. She will also be wearing it to Disney on Ice this weekend. Woo Hoo!

My favorite game of pretend is "going to the beach!" We were out at the cabin for new years, and she was playing with her beach stuff inside. She knew she couldn't actually go down to the lake and go swimming, so she was sitting in her blow up boat, pretending to be down at the beach. Of course, she had to bring Bianca with her. B was a good sport to sit inside a blow up boat! This photo just cracked me up!
