One of my other new outfits

And the VERY exciting news of the past few weeks - potty training!! (and painting of course :)

Cute little princess undies

 She's doing SO well. We've been training for a few weeks now - she's pretty much 99% trained at home. We're working on daycare and outings - but she's doing REALLY well!!

And the cast is OFF - hooray!!! Ready for swimming again!

My Crocodile!!

 

At the mall in her safari jeep :) In another cute new outfit of course!

Dadda cutting down down palms - now THAT is a big umbrella!

Lyn bought us all 2 scratchies for Christmas. I thought I won $4, but when I cashed it in I got $9! So of course I cashed them in for 4 more tickets and $1 cash! Genna helped me scratch these - her first taste of gambling ha ha! We did win another $5 and a free ticket though - YAY!

A few cute stories too:

The other day Genna went into the living room and said 'Dadda - wanna watch tv but Mama hide the clicker!' (I have been limiting her tv time! ha ha)

She also told Dadda that he has a small tummy and Mama has a big one - thanks a lot!

She likes to announce that she has to go to the bathroom by yelling 'Pee pee coming!'

Her speaking simply amazes us every day. She comes out with words we didn't even realize she knew and strings them together pretty darn well.

Tonight a noisy motorbike when by and she said 'Listen Mama, storm coming!' thought it was thunder :) cute

She also asked my Mom on skype the other day 'Where Grandpa?' lovely that she remembers to ask. Later in the car she reminded me that 'Grandpa at Marky's house!'

Christmas

And the stockings were all hung by the chimney with care :)

Santa Came - cookies are gone & there's presents instead!!!

When I brought her down in the morning I pointed out - look Genna - Santa ate the cookies & drank the milk and left you presents. She looked confused and asked 'Where Santa?' I think she expected him to be there :)

Our new tradition - stockings!

Ohhhh an electric toothbrush!

And a car filled with chocolates - yummm

A Dora water bottle - exciting !!

Great picture of GrandDad and Nanna with their stockings
