No Spanking...

So tonight, Liv was being quite tempermental when it came time to get dressed for bed. Daddy told her after several mini-struggles that she was going to get her butt spanked if she did not stop fighting (literally fighting- kicking, and screaming!). Daddy picker her up, and gave her a little rap on the rump. She cried, while being dressed and then ran off to find Mommy to tell her all about the travesty she had just endured... only to come back downstairs moments later saying "Daddy, dont smack me on the heinie anymore". Daddy explained to her that it was important that she listen to Mommy and Daddy, and that she can avoid such things in the future by being cooperative. She repeated her plea by saying "Daddy- I'm little. Dont spank me anymore... I'm just a baby". Delivered so perfectly, Daddy felt as though Mommy told her to say it! They really grow fast!!

Bitter Sweet!!!

Livi's BIG Girl Bed

For the past few weeks, Liv has opted to sleep on the floor rather then in her toddler bed. After learning that she's been sleeping in a big bed for the past couple of weeks at daycare, I figured that's why she didn't want to sleep in her toddler bed anymore.

Tim and I put her big girl bed together and when I called her up to look at her new bed...she walks around it and says "I love my new bed". She then went and collected some her stuffed animals and said that they needed to sleep with her. After she finished picking out the animals she wanted to sleep with she then climbs into bed and says "Good Night"

She didn't ask me to hold her or even sing her song to her. After I asked her if she wanted me to sing her song to her she says "will you sing me my special story?" So after asking if I could sing her song to her. She asked for Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.

Good Night Big Girl!

Halloween 2010

Happy Halloween!!!

Halloween was so much fun this year. Livi proved to Mom and Dad that she's a big girl and doesnt need help going up to the houses and saying "Trick-or-Treat" and "Thank you". It was a happy but said moment.

Again, Livi is showing us how big she really is.

Cant wait for the next house.

At the end of the night, Liv sits outside with us and helps us hand out candy.

Livi Playing dress up

So I went to David's Bridal to look for a Christmas Party dress. I found one and asked Tim to come look at it. When we got there, Liv said that she wanted to wear a dress.

Over the summer she was asked to be a flower girl in Zach and Ani's wedding. So I thought it wouldnt hurt to see how she liked it.

Soooo cute. I will apologize for the quality of the pictures as they were taken with a camera phone. But you get the gist of it...

Livi cant wait to get to the dressing room to try on a dress

Here's the second dress. Which I must say, I think we all like it the best.

Livi is showing us that she loves to poof of the dress.

This picture is just priceless! She looks like one of those little snow babies

Liv's 1st Overnight in Ocean City

So we decided to take an overnight trip to ocean city in early September. We figured since she had so much fun when she spent the day with Grammy and Pop back in August we would make an overnight trip.

Liv and I drove up and Daddy met us there a little later. When we got there, Liv couldnt wait to go to the beach. She didnt even want to wait for Daddy to get there.

Can't wait to head to the beach!

Even after going to bed at Midnight, Liv was still able to enjoy the rides that they have.
