September Here we Come!

Daphne has been learning some new tricks lately, and one of them is pulling herself up to standing. This was her first accomplished time, and she was so proud of herself. Usually she will make it to her knees and than get stuck on her knees and than her feet will turn purple and so I always have to make sure I can catch her just at the right moment before her feet turn purple and after she has tried and failed. One afternoon Sami was taking a nap and I was cleaning the kitchen and I look over to see Daphne having the time of her life. When I first noticed it was a small enough mess I could have removed her from the situation and cleaned it up quick but it was just to funny and she was having too much fun. This is my scrap paper box. And after she was done I put her down for a nap and than organized it, and so she helped me out. It was so funny. She would pull out handfuls than toss them up over her head and than keep going... I got bored of the 4th of July decorations and so I put them away and pulled out the Halloween ones. I know I know Halloween is not for another 2 months but I got a mermaid costume and a crab costume to make and so this will get me motivated. If anyone has a good mermaid pattern let me know! My family didn't seem as excited and surprised as I was but I was cleaning up toys one night when I noticed this puzzle. I knew I didn't do it, and I asked Dave and he said no, so than I took it apart and Sami put it all back together, the culprit... can I say proud mommy moment. I finished the edges off one day and she said, I don't like it and removed them... only Ariel, Sebastian and Flounder are allowed. So cute... this girl loves Little Mermaid. She takes it apart than puts it back together, this was the first time she did this, and she earned this puzzle by peeing in the potty one day... it is rare when that happens, but non the less she gets rewarded when it does happen. GO Sami!
