Halloween 2009

Izzy had a good time this Halloween. She pulled in quite the haul. She caught on after the first house and trick-or-treated like a pro. This year I thought to take the wagon which was a huge help since her little legs can only take her so far so fast. After visiting a house, Izzy would book it for the wagon, load in her bucket and herself and yell, "Mommy, go go go!" There was more candy to be had! They learn so young :)

Mmmm pumpkin guts

First Snow of the Season

Izzy has now added a new word to her vocabulary, "Snow." Yes, it really is snowing. Pretty hard, too. As I'm typing I can see flakes as big as golf balls falling past our windows. It's not even Daddy's birthday yet!

Izzy points where the white stuff is coming from.

Our street

And, yes, it is sticking.

On the dog, too

Smarty Pants

Izzy and I are are trying to figure out games with her flashcards. She's getting pretty good at finding the pictures of things

Potty Time!

So today Izzy went piddle in the potty after lunch at day care. Yay! She's been pretending to go for weeks now. Opening the potty chair, sitting, then getting up, closing it and moving it to the sink so she can wash her hands. So we'll see where this goes. A couple boys at daycare are in training so she's obviously picking it up. I guess we should go get a potty book :)
