Wordless Wednesday: Flashback

It Was So Bad...........She Jumped!

Last night Gwen had the biggest meltdown that Mike and I have ever seen.  She was a complete wreck for at least 30 minutes all because it was time to come inside.  She was inconsolable.  We tried time-out, we tried threatening her, and finally we got her in her jammies and put her in her crib.  She did not like that in the least.  She decided it was so bad that she jumped.  Yep, she jumped out of her crib.  All we heard was a thud and then the crying getting closer and closer to us.  That seemed to have made her stop crying which was good, but now we know it is time for the toddler bed.

For the record, Mike and I handled the meltdown horribly.  We need a plan of action for the next one.

We've Created A Monster..............

for Mike.  Whenever Gwen would want something on a different floor of our house we would time Mike to run and get it.  It was a great way for her to practice counting.  Well now, whenever Gwen wants something from a different floor she says "1, 2, 3" and makes Mike go get it.  He can't believe how bossy she is and says that he is screwed between her and I.  Just wait, it will be even worse if BP is a girl :-)

A Candle in The Cake

For my birthday Mike got me an ice cream cake.  He put 2 candles in it and both he and Gwen sang to me.  Fast forward to today.  We promised Gwen ice cream cake if she pooped on the potty.  She did so she got her cake.  Of course she wanted a candle in it.  So what did we do?   We sang:

Happy Pooping To You
Happy Pooping To You
Happy Pooping To Gwen
Happy Pooping To You!

She then blew out the candle.

Winter Wonderland

We've had some pretty good snow storms this winter.  I stayed inside, but Gwen enjoyed it.
