Even Fashionable In Her Diapers

Another thing that I LOVE about cloth diapers is the nice variety of prints/colors that you can slap on your little one's bottom. It's no secret that I enjoy a good animal print on Logan (or anywhere, really), so when I saw these on ebay I was SO excited! I was even more excited when I got them each for under $2 (they ship from China--hence the steep discount).

(sorry for the poor quality of the next couple of pictures)

As you can tell, we've been stripping L down to her diaper in the afternoons to make it through the really hot hours (when it hits the 90's) without the air on and it's just that much more fun that she's wearing fashionable diapers while she runs around!

Daddy's Girl

I've seen these fun little club sets at Walmart for quite a while now:

I keep hoping they'll go on sale, which they probably won't because they're a whopping $5 as it is. I have a tendency to hold off on things for so long that eventually they run out and don't restock. Today I was roaming around the outdoor section and noticed that there was only one pink set left (and what's a girl to do without a pink set of golf clubs?), and got uncertain answers as to whether or not they'd get more of them. So, I picked them up. I don't know who was more excited--Logan or her daddy!

Mike tried to give Logan a mini golf lesson:

Which she paid attention to for, oh, 2 minutes...

...before she decided it was a lot more fun to just play with the golf balls.

Memorial Day (a little late)

I know, this post is a few days off, you'll have to pardon me in the days to come because I spend most of my free time in the bathroom right now with my little potty machine (who I have a sneaking suspicion only likes to go sit on the toilet in hopes of getting some chocolate--which she doesn't unless she goes--so we sit in there for 30 minutes sometimes). Anyway, we had the Tolberts come over for a little sandwich bar lunch on memorial day and then just hung around.

We finally got a picture of Logan and Anna Kate together:

It's not very easy to get a picture of two little ones together. I think I had to snap 30 pictures to get a few with them looking at the camera together...it's not very easy with a point and snap--I think I need a digital SLR camera so I can do a little better. ;)

Logan wanted a turn to hold Anna Kate so Patty helped her out a little:

And here is Logan demonstrating her ability to climb furniture now:

Blue Hands

+ Blue Mouth

Could only = one thing.

Mommy hasn't changed a dirty diaper in FOUR days (and Logan has been on an M&M sugar high)! This makes for a very happy mommy and a very sugared up Logan. Logan knows her body's cues very well and while we are still getting wet ones here and there, she's been very consistent otherwise. She's even become my little 5:30am alarm clock. She wakes me up every morning by very kindly reminding me through the monitor that it's time to go to the bathroom.

Boys boys boys

Last night we went to our friend Luke's graduation party. I've mentioned Luke and Patty several times on the blog because they're not only good friends to us here, but Patty and I have been friends since high school. We were kind of hoping that they'd withhold Luke's diploma so he'd have to stay here an extra semester (and then we'd continue to find ways to keep them around), but alas, he did get one, so they're off to bigger and better things in the next couple of weeks.

There were several children at the party right at or under the age of three. They were all conveniently boys (except for Logan and Anna Kate, but since Anna Kate is only 4(ish) months old, Logan got to choose her fancy). Let me tell you, our child may be shy around everyone else but she is not shy around little boys. My goodness, you would have though she walked into a candy shop when all of those boys started to arrive--as if they'd all been invited for her! She walked back and forth between them, said hi to all of them and then began to interact with each one separately, I guess she wanted to make sure she got to know each of them on an individual basis. Oh boy.

How to Keep A Toddler Entertained

How do I keep my toddler entertained?

By allowing her to sort her diaper laundry from one basket to another for a whole 30 minutes. Brilliant!

Change of Plans

Yesterday we had made plans to go strawberry picking but when we showed up at the farm they informed us that the big rain we had over the weekend had wiped out the rest of the crop! We were really sad (especially Logan since we had to get back in the car and drive another 20 minutes) so we stopped and got the kiddos some ice cream.

This child needed no introduction on how to eat an ice cream cone:

She dug right in.

It made the change of plans slightly better for her.
