OUR BABY IS TWO YEARS OLD!!!

How did it happen so fast. Another year has gone by. What a ham we have created. She brings us so much joy and we are so thankful she is our little punkin. Allison is "crazy" these days as I like to describe. She has had some terrible two stances, mainly where she doesnt like to do what we tell her to and she often at times is heard telling us no. WHICH makes us so mad not to mention people turn around like who is talking to you that way, then they see its a 2 year old and laugh. Most of her favorite phrases consist of "No No Daddy or No NO Mommy"... Although lately it has been towards her babies and stuffed animals, and then proceeds to place them all in time out. I looked over and the stuffed dog, elmo, and 2 babies were all turned towards the wall in their respective corners. Of course then I'm like oh no maybe I am sending her too much. I will say she has been great these past two weeks and really hasnt had to go but maybe once to time out. She is doing really well on potty training. I recently started a potty chart and she is doing great with it although its only been two days. She also loves M&Ms and that helps with the bribery. Allie is into many things these days. Her favorite activity of all more than any of her toys is to put all animals and babies night night. She grabs all of our kitchen towells and uses those for blankets and every day/night each animal will have about 5 toys on it. Finally had to tell her no more towells as she had 20 out in the living room. She loves putting bailey night night too but bailey gets annoyed with that. She tries to put Will and I night night as well. She loves to go outside and to the park. For her birthday she got a wagon from Papa D and she loves riding in that. We have been doing all sorts of things lately. On July fourth we were in Florida with aunt natty and uncle wyatt, papa d and sherry, mama mel and poppy, and then sue and company were all with mom at another condo. We had a lot of fun. We took Allie to a july 4th festival with just Will and I and then did breakfast. It started to rain so we couldnt go to the beach until later that day which ended up being great b/c it was cooler. For Allie's bday party we did an under the sea party here at the house with pool toys and then we had visors to decorate. We had a good number of people and little ones and had a really good time. Mama Mel and Jan helped me set up for the party and the decorations ended up being awesome. Allie loves her babies right now and takes them often with us everywhere. She loves to play on the ipdad and calls it "my IPAD" which I dont like but she loves playing the games and watching the movies. The office is soon to be out of our house which I am very excited about b/c most of her toys are all in the garage until we have more room up in the playroom. I think she will play with her toys more once we get them all up there. Jim and Sabrina gave her the entire pottery barn kitchen set which was soooo nice. Allie plays with it at times and I think when she gets older she will play with it even more. Allie is talking so much more as well
