As of Friday the 13th, my little boo is 22 months old!
She is getting so big & growing up SO FAST! I can already see her out on a soccer field in a few years. She seems to be more athletic than mommy...she loves to play any kind of ball!
Yesterday we had a mommy & Mallory day. We went shopping for a new outdoor toy. She loves to play outside & the only toy she hasn't really outgrown outside is her playhouse, but that gets kind of boring by herself. We went to Toys R Us & as soon as I saw this toy, I knew it was the one!
It's a little sink with a pump faucet that runs water. Mallory washed her dishes & toys all afternoon long & had a blast! To say she loves it would definitely be an understatement.
Of course the toy had to be put together {which I did by myself...again}. I was trying to put it together & Mallory got VERY grumpy. She started screaming & I realized she needed a nap, stat. I told her if she kept letting out screams, the toys were going away. Well, she was ill & screamed again. In the middle of putting it together, I gathered everything up & put it in the laundry room & told her she had to take a nap before she played with her new sink. HOLY.MELTDOWN followed those actions. I'm talking about meltdown on a whole new level. Shew!! The beginning of the terrible 2's maybe?
Once she woke up from her much needed nap, the new sink was all put together & the afternoon was spent playing happily.
I told my parents & Patrick's parents about the tantrum & Mallory got emotional just hearing me talk about it both times. She told them, "Mama took my toys" & acted like she could cry about it!
All that washing made her thirsty I guess.
This was before church this morning. We had homecoming today & Mallory looked so cute in her Lily dress. Thanks A Manning for the great find!!
ALL morning, Mallory has begged to play with her 'new toy'. We kept telling her after church, she could play. We kept our promise!
Day 2 & it's still a hit! Maybe the best $50 I've ever spent.
I'm *thinking* this might be the photo for Mallory's birthday party invitation! If I don't get a better one within the next week or so, this is it!
