Valentines Day

I have to start this post with what happened today when we were pulling into the parking lot of the gym. As soon as we pull into the gym parking lot she says Daddy no daycare, no daycare. Daddy no. Of course she was fine once she was there but it was cute.

Last weekend we bought Aurora a potty. She has already used it a couple times. We are not actively trying to potty train her yet, but since she has been showing interest we decided to get her one and go from there. We also had some really nice weather so we took advantage of it and went to the new park up the street. She had a blast climbing, sliding and running around. She is a little daredevil and was going down the slides head first. Afterwards she passed out and took a nice long nap. Can't wait for summer!!!

For Valentines Day we took a little trip to Baltimore and went to the Aquarium. She had so much fun seeing all the fish and sharks. We got to see a dolphin show. She loved it and actually sat through the whole thing. Her favorite fish that she saw was a nemo fish(thats what she i slooking at in the pic of her head). She was saying nemo nemo and pointing to it. Her favorite thing at the aquarium was these big tubes that have bubbles in them. She was running from one to the next and did not care if there was another kid in her way or not. She kept getting a really big smile on her face and saying bubbles, look bubbles. We let her pick out a toy from the gift shop but she kept dropping one thing and picking up another one so we got her 2 books instead. We went to Hooters for lunch before the aquarium. The service was horrible and Aurora was melting down because she was starving. Luckily she loved the fries and got in a good mood as soon as she got some food in her belly.

Danny and a few friends have been working on building our shed. It definitley has been a labor of love and still needs a few more full days to be finished. Considering the foundation is only almost finished. Once it is done it will be really nice to have some storage. Danny decided to have some fun and put her into one of the wholes he dug for the foundation and of course I had to take pictures of it.

We went and visited Marie, Terran and Quincy on Sunday. We had not seen them in a couple months so it was a nice visit. She had a blast running around, playing with them and coloring pictures with them. She still recognizes their house when we get there which is pretty impressive since she doesn't go there very often. When she was ready to go she started cleaning up, saying bye bye and pushing me saying go mommy go.

We bought tickets for the circus. We will be going with a few of Danny's friends from work and their kids. I am really excited and think she will enjoy it since she loves animals.

Our friend Bronwyn made a really cool wall decal for Aurora's room. We put it above her crib. See photo above.
