We've been all over. We've been up to all kinds of mischief. And I have no good reason for the lack of updates. I've just lacked the motivation, energy, and time. But I promise I'm gonna work on that. So lets play catch up and then I'll do my best to stay caught up for the rest of the year.
I was planning to start potty training Bug once she turned two. As usual, she had her own plan. In October, she initiated the process herself. She started asking to sit on the potty. So now she is in the thick of learning all about using the toilet.
Sometimes she tells me before she's gone. Other times she tells me shortly after she's gone. Here are some pics of her walking like a Sumo wrestler because her pants are already wet. Then making it to the potty to try again. (Have I mentioned she's in the, "I do it myself!" phase?)
At the end of October we made a neat discovery. Lilydale Regional Park in St. Paul is awesome! We went there to look for fossils. We didn't find many of them. But we did find a waterfall and a beautiful view of St. Paul.
In my opinion, Miss Doodle was a picture perfect fossil hunter. We can't wait for the next fossil hunting season to begin so we can go searching once again.
Bug was obsessed with cows and saying, "moo!" at the end of October. So that's what she was for our trick or treating adventures. And now that she has begun the 'dressing up and changing outfits 500 times a day phase,' I can assure you this outfit is still getting plenty of use. She's even used them as pajamas. I think that she's the cutest cow ever!
Miss Doodle found a beautiful masquerade ball costume. When she wore it everyone kept mistaking her for a princess. Which she couldn't understand. She kept asking me, "Why are they calling me a princess when I am not? I am a masquerade ball dancer!" (Talk about attention to detail.)
On November 8th, Miss Doodle turned five (!) years old. She had a fun party with her friends. I made her a strawberry cake with pink frosting and blue hearts, just as she requested. She also enjoyed making her very own little cake with the Easy Bake Oven that Auntie Cass sent her.
November was a surprisingly decent month. The weather was sunny and much better than it was in October. So we enjoyed some more family outings. Including another lovely trip to Fort Snelling's Pike Island at dusk. We especially loved running into a couple of deer. (Bug has been obsessed with deer ever since.)
