Strike a Pose

Josie got a new dress from Grandpa John and Grandma Sherry and she LOVES IT! She has worn it three times since she got it last week. She is also very proud of the fact that she can now get dressed all by herself. Each day we put out her clothes and she gets dressed - socks and shoes included. Sometimes we have to turn her dress around or remind her to double check her shoes. The other day she wanted to take a picture to show how she got dressed by herself and to show grandma and grandpa what she looks like in the new dress. Enjoy!

Me and My Big Ideas



Josie was at birthday party last week and she was excited to play a game they had on the wall for the kids. However, the time ran out and they did not play the game. She was very upset and did not want to leave until she got to play. I told her that we would make a game for her to play when we got home. We started with the idea to make a Cars game where you get points by putting wheels on the different cars. She had fun getting blind folded and spinning around then trying to get the most points. This fun lasted a short time before she decided she wanted to make other games. We made a Princess game, a zoo animal game, and a Lion King game. She started writing the names on her own by the third game. Thank goodness we ran out of glue so we had to stop making games last weekend. She has been asking this weekend to make more games - we'll see.

A Nightgown!

Josie loves flannel pajamas - she says they are cuddly wuddly- so she was very excited to get some from Grandpa John and Grandma Sherry for Christmas. Better yet they had Minnie Mouse on them. However, when she realized they were "dress pajamas" she was out of her mind with excitement. By the way she is really into dresses now which explains this reaction. She had to wear them that night. After the first night she decided that she is in love with nightgowns except for the fact that her legs get cold. (She kicks the covers off like her father) To fix this she has decided that she needs to wear leggings to bed with the nightgown. Here she is enjoying the nightgown yet again.

New Bike!

Thanks Uncle Mike for my new princess bike. I love to ride it and I am getting very good at turning corners and braking. I like to take my Cinderella doll along for the ride. I can't wait for the weather to get warmer so I can ride it more often.
