Remembering the good ole' days!

As my 20 month old LITTLE DIVA has been testing me ALL week, I decided it would be fun to look back at her "quieter" days. You know, to have a little flashback of when she was as sweet as pie! Her newest attitude is "do it myself" and she will scream her little head off if I even help her! So for example, she insists on climbing into the car by herself (note: we have an SUV), catapulting her little body up into the carseat by herself, buckling the 5-point harness by herself, putting on a coat by herself...you can see where this is going, right??? She has also banned sitting in her booster seat at the bar in the kitchen & insists on standing the whole time...ugh!

As I look at these adorable pictures of our little baby girl, I sigh and think to myself "This is just a phase & we WILL get through it!!"

Enjoy...

It's Dinner Time at the Waldners...

Reagan loves to eat salsa

This is Jack's plate - what's missing? JACK!

and where the heck is Jack??? So I had to take a picture of the kids at dinner time...as you can see, Reagan is elbow deep in salsa and enjoying her quesadillas to the fullest. But where is Jack? Hmmmm, if I had a safe & humane way to tie him to his chair during mealtime - I would!!! I think for this meal he was sitting on the floor playing with his Neptune Planet Hero. Our kids are polar opposites when it comes to food - Reagan eats ALL foods and Jack eats NO food. ugh!

Our little fashion diva!

Reagan is a true girly girl...and loves to play dress up! She is great at putting on hats, coats, sweaters & shoes...oh & she also loves to carry around purses. But not any ole' purse - yep, she loves to carry around Mommy's Coach purse! The girl has style - what can I say, I'm a proud Mom! :) She has also shown a love for shoes...aaaahhhhh, she IS my daughter!!! Watch out Daddy, Reagan will be asking for those Jimmy Choos instead of the Stride Rite's in no time!! :)

Tennis anyone?

Check out out the little guy in the grey shirt & striped sweat pants!

Well, we have a little tennis star on our hands! Jack is in a tennis class on Saturday mornings and is loving it. He doesn't always hit the ball, but he does have alot of fun (isn't that more important?). If you ask him what his favorite part of the class is...I would guarantee the candy at the end! :) He is more excited to show us what treat he gets at the end of class than how many tennis balls he hits over the net! Oh well...the life of a 3 year old is a tough one! Heck, if candy was guaranteed at the end of my tennis lesson - I'd sign up in a heart beat! :)

*Sorry for the hazy photos...the lighting in the tennis facility isn't that great!

Another first for Reagan...

Yea! I found these amazing hair clips on Ebay (for those of you who don't already know, I'm addicted to a good bargain & especially Ebay!!!). They actually stay in Reagan's non-existent hair..wooohooooo! The picture isn't that cute but it shows Miss Reagan with her little clip in her hair. She's becoming quite the girly-girl. She loves to put on shoes, hats, coats & my favorite, carries around purses! LOVE it! Let the shopping begin...

What?? Cape Cod in January?

This past weekend, the Waldner family made a trip down to the Cape. It was an impulsive decision and boy was it a good one! We had a blast at the Cape Codder resort in Hyannis. What a great family resort...an indoor wave pool, movie night, bonfire & marshmallow toasting, and kids dance party (Jack loved this the most!). After our first hotel experience with the kids (read: no sleep and all of us in the same room), we booked 2 adjoining rooms...so the kids (especially Jack) loved it that they had their "own" room. Unfortunately, we didn't get any shots of the pool (yea! no bathing suit pics of Mom! ha!)but we did get alot from the kids dance party. Jack & Reagan danced nonstop from about 6:30pm-9:30pm. Fun, fun, fun!!!

Enjoy!!!

Snow Angels...

On Monday, we were hit with another snow storm (welcome to New England!!!) and the kids just couldn't wait to get out there & have fun! Luckily, it wasn't the January Nor'easter that the weather man predicted but it was enough snow to make snow angels & a snowman! Jack is now a master of building a snowman...he even picked out the pebbles for the eyes, nose & mouth. He likes to visit the snowman each day now...and he named the snowman - yep, you guessed it "Snowman". ha!
