Pirates and Princesses

Laura! Pretty girl.

Here she is after discovering the bowl of ice cream Rebecca had finished.

She is definitely a good eater. I've kind of been working on sign language with her and she'll clap her hands for more and wave them in the air for all done, which I think she thinks just means mama pick me up. She can blow kisses but will never perform on command and has started saying mama and dada. Legit. She has also started standing up. But only when she's on something soft and can just fall over without taking any real steps.

Cake pops! Matt went out of town last weekend on a bachelor party and took Rebecca to Starbucks on Friday before school. She loved it!

We had fun here. This is a cute picture but the sprinkler fun lasted about one minute. Rebecca just wasn't that interested. On Saturday we went up to Elkin to visit with Oma and spontaneously decided to spend the night. I'm so glad we did! It was really fun. We went to dinner at Speedy Chef and when we were done I cleared our table. Rebecca picked up her cup and put it in the trash on her own. Oma said good job Rebecca! So she turned around took a bow. I mean, what else would you do when someone gives you a compliment? Also when I was clearing our table I apparently had not clean up quite as good as I thought I did. We were about half way through the parking lot before I realized Laura had a hamburger patty in her hand and was still eating it. Have I mentioned the fact that I have a good eater?

Sidewalk chalk fun!

Rebecca was so proud of her art. Here she is before school one morning showing off her new dress from Grandma and Pops (which she loves!) and had to be sure our artwork was also in the picture. They were talking about India at school last week and Rebecca has learned how to put her hands together, bow her head and say "Namaste" to say hello. It is so cute!

This week included a visit to the dentist. Rebecca loves the dentist! The waiting room is like the children's museum and when you go back for your cleaning you go into a big open room with several flat benches where the kids get their teeth cleaned. There are video games and toys back there. It's not scary at all. I'm glad we've found such a fun pediatric dentist.

Pirates and Princesses!! Yesterday I got to take Rebecca to a Disney show- Sofia the First and Jake and Neverland Pirates. We had a really good time! Cotton candy was 12 dollars. Ridiculous. But it was really cool. Just lots of singing and dancing and colorful costumes.

Before the show I took Rebecca and Laura to Chick Fil A by myself. The one by our house has mom's valet where you can drive through the drive-through to place your order then everything will be set up for you when you come inside- highchair and all. It's awesome.

Cousins! Rebecca got to spend the day with her cousins swimming at Granny Marie's. Matt and Laura and I met everyone for supper at Oma's new place. Yes, this is really the best picture I got. Mandy, Camden and Alison go back to Texas on Tuesday and we are so sad to see them go. Rebecca has loved spending time with her cousins!

So fun! And there was ice cream.
