Teacher's Note:  Hannah went "poo-poo" in the pottie today!  We gave her a sticker and she was very proud of herself    "

I feel it's only necessary to now inform you of what she ate today.  It probably would be more beneficial for us to write about what she ate yesterday.  Anyway, here it goes for today's meals.  Breakfast: Cinnamon Toast and Milk (all).  Snack: Goldfish and Water (all).  Lunch: Chicken and Rice (some), Peas (none), Fruit Cocktail (all), Bread with Butter (all), and Milk (all).  Snack: Square Cheese Crackers and Water (all).

The only other thing I can think of to torture you furthur is a picture but I just don't have one.  Maybe I'll leave special instructions for the teachers to snap a photo of the event.  Who knew we would be so proud of a "poo-poo"?!

Hannah has her FIRST field trip at school!  This "field trip" is in the church gym that she plays in almost everyday so we got a kick out of that.  They are calling it Reindeer Bootcamp and the details are a mystery.  Stay tuned for more information.....

Tom, Hannah and I met at a restaurant for dinner last night after work and daycare.  Hannah walked up with Daddy and climbed up into the booth.  When we had all sat down, gotten our jackets and things in order is when she "made the move".  She grabbed each one of our hand on each side of hers, clossed her eyes, bowed her head, then mumbled her adorable baby talk, then said "ah-mha".  She looked up smiling gloriously and clapping her hands.  My heart smiled.  She is picking up on so many things that we do in our everyday life.  Precious, precious, precious!

Hannah has an obsession with shoes.  Anyone's shoe, any size, anywhere, anytime, she loves them!  No matter where we hide them, she'll seak them out.  She puts on my shoes, daddy's shoes, puts Tom's shoes on him, puts my shoes on me, puts Tom's shoes on me, and my shoes on Tom.  Even after a hard day's work, when you can't wait to finally set your poor feet free and you kick off our shoes, she'll bring 'em right back to you and your swollen feet and say "mommy shus....mommy shus on!".  Well she also apparantly takes them off whenever she wants too as well.  I picked up Hannah today at school and she had these old beaten up, second hand shoes on her feet.  I asked her teacher what happened and she explained that Hannah won't keep her shoes on.  At first they tried time out and that didn't seem to be keeping her shoes on so they tried a "special" pair of shoes for her.  Well it worked!  Hannah likes old, used, "special" shoes instead of the one's we bought her.  Oh well, at least she's not barefoot anymore!

My friend, Tiffany, brought celebratory cupcakes to work in honor of my LPC and Hannah got one of them at home.  Thank you Tiffany for the yummy cupcakes!!!  Here are some cute pictures....

Hannah went tee-tee in the potty today at school!!!!!  Her teacher said that she touched her diaper and said "tee-tee".  Her teacher then put her on the little toddler potty and she went tinkle.  Yay Hannah!  What a big girl!

This afternoon, Hannah started playing with one of the lamps on our end tables in the den.  She started to shake it so I said "No Hannah, don't touch the lamp please!" in my stern, serious voice.  Hannah acknowledged the command by looking up at me, smiling, and making full eye contact with me.  She then takes her baby doll's hand and proceeds to make the doll touch the lamp with the hard plastic hand of the doll all the while making guilty eyes at me with a devilish half grin all over her face. 

Check out Hannah throwing her deuces and in this cute video....

Tonight, the 3 of us were eating dinner at the table.  I said "Baby, do you like your strawberries?"  Hannah replied with "Hannah not baby."  My mouth dropped to the floor and my eyes popped out of their sockets, I said "What?".  She repeated herself with "Hannah not baby."  A confused and painful look came over my face, but I didn't let her see it.  Then...
 
"Hannah are you a baby?"

"No" ( very matter of factly)

"Well then are you a big girl?"

"Hannah big girl" (she said with a big smile)

Today, my baby told me she wasn't a baby anymore.  My "little girl" is showing her independence.  Mommy's question....is this up for more discussion?
