Sorry this has taken so long to post!

Toddler Thoughts

I've been meaning to write down some funny things Veronica has been saying lately. Whenever I hand her chocolate milk she says, "Dats-a-me chocolate?"

The other day I hurt my back and had to go to the doctor for a shot of some kind of muscle relaxer and she was with me so I told her, "I'm going to show you how Mommy gets a shot. I'm not even going to cry!" And she looked at me and said, "That's ridiculous!"

And now she has an imaginary friend. His name is Bibbo and he's a bee. She's so cute playing with this friend. He comes with us to the park and goes down the slides with her

More Potty Tales

Port-a-pottys are getting much nicer. Here we are at a pumpkin patch and little Miss Veronica is wearing big girl panties and going on the potty! We've stopped wearing pullups now and I wish I had given them up months ago. It has only taken her about a week to figure out that it doesn't feel nice to be wet. You should see the crab walk she does when she has an accident. It's hysterical.

Each day has seen more progress than the one before. Today, she came to me twice before she had to go and made it to the potty in time. She's only had one accident today! She even made it through a 2 hour nap! It's very exciting.

I know I haven't been very good about posting on here regularly. I've been distracted with the election and everything. Voter fraud...doesn't it just burn you? I'm seriously wondering where we might have to go if it all goes south here. Is there anywhere left that isn't run by socialists? That's just depressing. So lets talk about what we've been doing to block out all the reality.

This is a really cool pit filled with corn kernels that you can roll around in. It's super fun!

She waited for this particular horse. She loved his spots.

Finally! A picture WITH Mommy.

New Addition

We have a new addition to our family! This is Jonathan! Born Sept. 8th, he is Veronica's newest cousin. We are so happy he's finally here! Cassie is doing well and so is the baby. We're all blissed out by the new baby smell. Congratulations Cassie and Chris!

Polka Dot Dreams

I didn't want to forget this. Today, when I woke Veronica up from her nap she sleepily reached out her hand as if holding something and said to me, "Did you see the polka dots? I was sleeping."

Priceless.

NY trip and random summer things

"Flight attendants, prepare for take off. Does anybody know how to get this thing off the ground? More importantly, are there any fruit snacks in the cabin?"

"Altitude meter, check. Fuel guage, check. Navigational devices all pointed toward Disney World, check."

Veronica and I just got back from visiting our good friends in NYC, Kenlynne and Bill and their expected baby Kenna! We spent a lot of time in the backs of cabs. (Note to self; walk more.) Thanks to Kenlynne and Bill for such a wonderful time! We so enjoyed our stay. You have beautiful homes and more importantly, a beautiful family. We love you three! xoxoxoxo

I think I ate too many fruit snacks....GET ME OUTTA HERE!

Kenlynne, Bill and Kenna

Veronica meeting Kenna for the first time

Annoying Kenna already.

I'll be poolside. I just love East Hampton

Veronica loves it too!

On the bus back to NYC from the Hamptons

Here are some photos of Kenlynne and Bill's new home in Tribeca...so gorgeous! They bought it fully furnished from a Sopranos cast member.

Here's Veronica in Central Park at the 72nd Street playground. A very odd social situation. Lots of nannies not paying attention to their charges.
