MY TINY DANCER!

FUNNY....

Little Miss Bossy Cow pointed her finger at the babysitter during rest period and told her that she could not take a nap because her eyelids were stuck open!  HAHA

ALMOST 3 YRS. OLD! OMG!!!!

CLOWNING AROUND!

2.75 YRS. - BIG GIRL BED?

Nevaeh tried out her big girl bed.....but it wasn't long and she crawled back into her toddler bed! In time!

2.75 YRS.-TAP AND BALLET CLASSES!

HAVING FUN!

LITTLE BIG GIRL?

Nevaeh was sitting on the potty and had a cute conversation with me that I don't want to forget..... N- See these strings? (loops inside her jeans to make the waist smaller)..... M- Yes..... N- You know ....for my birthday I want pants with no strings. That's all I want!... No strings..... M- But that's how we get the pants to fit you, because you are a little, big girl...... N-I'm not a little big girl, I'm a BIG girl.(said with arms up over her head)... I have a birthday and will be 3, so I want pants with no strings and that's all I want!

COOKIE TIME!

LITTLE MISS BOSSY PANTS

Posted on Facebook by Grandma Barnett.....I am laughing so hard. Little Miss Nevaeh keeps telling me the kids are not listening to her and if they don't stay listening they are going to lay on the cots , take a nap and no cartoons. All while shaking her pointing finger back and forth. She says she a cop. Lol

BIRTHDAY THEME

Mommy asked Nevaeh if she wanted a Hello Kitty Birthday Cake....Nevaeh said, "YEA....IT WILL BE THE BEST DAY EVER!"....Now the planning starts.

SHARING

This is HUGE.... Nevaeh shared her FAVORITE blankie!!!!

AWE!

A picture is worth a thousand words!

DANCE CLASS!

MISS INDEPENDENT!

Nevaeh insists on putting on her own shoes now....She actually puts them on the correct feet and does the velcro strap. She is sooooo independent now! I am seeing her turn into a preschooler vs. a toddler, right before my eyes!!!!!

SICK LITTLE ONE :-(

2.75 YEARS- A FLUKE????

Hmmmmm Today, Mommy asked Nevaeh if she wanted to watch cartoons.  Nevaeh said yes.....Mommy scrolled through the TV guide on the TV.....Nevaeh said, "Stop right there, I want to watch Sponge Bob!".....Mommy was on Sponge Bob!  ......No pictures or prompting......just words......Did she really just read those words, or was it a complete coincidence?  Hmmmmmm.........

OUT OF THE MOUTHS OF BABES.....

Mommy and Daddy's desire for more children along with fertility issues led them down the path of fostering and foster to adopt certification.......it was a long process but well worth the time....a long term placement of a preschooler and a newborn (just days old) who are siblings are making their home here! For confidentiality purposes, I can not post their pictures or say their names .....but trust me......they are precious!

Little Miss Nevaeh is adjusting well....but boy is she ever a bossy cow.....the preschooler has speech issues and calls me mamaw .....Nevaeh is quick to remind him my name is Grandma! And does so while pointing and shaking her finger at him like she is scolding him.....Haha

As for the baby.....Nevaeh is gentle and gives kisses......so far no jealously with the baby....but I bet it is a matter of time.....which is natural and expected .....last night, Daddy was taking the baby upstairs to Mommy for a night time bottle and diaper change....Nevaeh followed and asked what he was doing.....Her response was.....Be careful because he will crap on you! LOL

OOOPPPPS!

Nevaeh said her first cuss word  :-(  Wonder where she heard that from Mommy and Daddy???

Long story short, Nevaeh wanted to do downstairs, but the baby gate was locked.  She yelled for her Daddy several times, but he didn't hear her.....Mommy was in the other room when she heard Nevaeh say d-- it! Then she started to walk away.  When Mommy confronted her, she knew she was caught and even tried to deny saying it........

Funny how they learn which words are good words and which words are bad words from the get go!
