MEMORIAL WEEKEND 2012

Fun in the sun AGAIN- 93 degrees!

2 YRS.- FUN IN THE SUN!

90 degrees in May! Wonder what August will be like!?

2 YRS. DRESSING SELF!

She was on the right track until she took her pants back off and put it on her head!

2 YRS. - PLAYING!

2YRS.-SHAPES

While Nevaeh was visiting at Grandma Barnett's house, she found this register in the floor....She proceeded to tell Mommy the shapes she saw (unprompted).....She said....circle, triangle, circle, triangle, circle, triangle..... :-)

SWEARING IN!

Daddy was sworn in at a neighboring county on their police force. Nevaeh was excited and got to watch her Daddy sign the official form. He also meets with the Mayor and Chief of Police on Thursday in the town that they live in for possible next steps of swearing in there also. Both positions are auxiliary at this time, with possible paid positions down the road.....The job market is VERY tight right now.......but at least Daddy is now in a possible pool to draw from for a paid position based on his volunteer job performance! BEST OF LUCK, DADDY.....We are all rooting for you!

MOTHER'S DAY 2012

2YRS. - SPANISH!

Today Little Miss Nevaeh surprised Mommy. They were leaving Walmart.....the conversation went something like this: N- Vamonos, Mommy! M- What did you say? N- Vamonos! M- What does that mean? N- It means Let's go on Dora the Explorer! As always, her vocabulary, meaning of words and correct grammar continues to amaze us! The only thing that I continue to worry about is color discrination....she still can't do it. With her Great Grandma on her Mommy's side of the family and her Daddy being color blind, my suspicions are high that she may be as well. Another concern that has started to develop in the last few months is the way she says her "s" sounds. She tends to put her tongue forward between her teeth, with an sh or th sound. I know that is developmentally appropriate at this stage, but it seems odd that it is a new problem, rather than one she started out with.....oh well....time will tell! ONE THING THAT WE KNOW OF FOR SURE....SHE IS A SMART LITTLE ONE!

2YRS - STAIRS

YIKES..... I took my eyes off of Nevaeh for about one minute to answer the phone and this is what I found.....When I asked her what she was doing she said, " It's Ok grandma, I hold the rail to go downstairs!". ....Like it was no big deal!

2YRS. - IPAD!

Bedtime story on the iPad!

2YRS.- GARAGE SALE

Courtney posted this on facebook today.....Sooo my 2 year old daughter is sitting out here helping me at the garage sale and she put a sticker on my shirt and told me that she was gonna sell me and when her grandma told her if she sells me she will have to buy another mommy and she said that's ok she's broken LOL.....but then she wouldn't sell me when someone tried to buy me!

2 YRS.- I LOVE THIS SMILE!

2 YRS.- GROCERY SHOPPING!

Mommy went grocery shopping and Nevaeh went along.  She had fun pushing a grocery cart just her size.  Not only did she have fun helping Mommy.....She also surprised Mommy with a few extra items when it was time to check out!  HaHa!

2 YRS- HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GRANDMA!

Dear Nevaeh,

On April 21st.  we celebrated your Great Grandma Martin's 67th birthday.  I am 48 years old in this picture!  We are sooooo very blessed to have you!  You make us both smile daily!

Love, Grandma Dason

2YRS.- MEMORIES

Nevaeh spent the night with us. First, we went to Aunt Caitlin and Uncle Joey's house for dinner. Nevaeh reminded Caitlin that baby Gracyn Olivia was in her belly. We went into the newly painted nursery and Nevaeh was quick to point out that there was no bed in the room for the baby to sleep on! Aunt Caitlin suggested that Nevaeh find all of her pacifiers, put them in a box and give them to the new baby as a gift.....Nevaeh paused for a little bit.....then reminded Caitlin that the baby wasn't here yet! LOL!

Mommy called to tell me something to put on the blog...Earlier in the day, before I picked Nevaeh up, Nevaeh climbed on the couch with her paci and blankie next to Mommy....Mommy said, "Can I lay in your lap?". Nevaeh said yes.....Mommy layed her head on Nevaeh's lap.....Nevaeh said, "Awe, you know you are my baby?!". Nevaeh rubbed Mommy's head, patted her cheek! TOOOO SWEET!

We did our usual nightly routine after playing....bath, brushed teeth, hair and trimmed nails...oh yea, couldn't forget about the body lotion. Nevaeh knows the routine and will remind me if I forget a step! After Jammie's were on, she played a little longer and then bed time. In the morning she watched cartoons while she ate breakfast. (We are waiting for her booster chair to come in....She is getting tooooo big for the highchair.....but never complains about sitting in it.) After breakfast today, I took her to the beauty shop with me. She was such a good girl for the entire 2 hours I was getting my hair colored, cut and styled. After the beauty shop, we stopped at the bank and she found the play area while I stood in line for help......then Grandpa and I took her home......When we left, she said....See you later alligator, after while crocodile!!!! IT WAS A FABULOUS TIME WITH HER!
