Micka Mouse and other things

Micka Mouse

Miss C has taken a great interest in Mickey Mouse (aka Micka Mouse) and appears to have graduated from Blues Clues as her morning show of choice. I am not entirely sure what prompted her sudden love of all things Mouse but she is way into it.

Initially I thought our trip to see her first live show of Mickey Mouse Pl*yhouse caused this infatuation but she had started asking for him before that...so who knows. Maybe they talk about him more at daycare or play his music because we until this week we didn't own anything Mickey Mouse and didn't really watch the Disney channel.

Of course, we do now. Miss C watches Micka Mouse before daycare in the AM...her only real TV time and we also have a Micka Mouse CD that she loves to dance to.

Outside
Miss C does not seem to have lost one ounce of her love for the outdoors and LOVES that the weather is now nice enough that we can play outside almost nightly. We've had to give up our nightly walks because I can't really do that right now but will quickly pick those back up after Miss R comes.

In this picture Miss C is "cutting the grass" with her bubble lawn mower that she got for her birthday. She is hilarious trying to mow our crazy uneven yard and constantly says "not working" when their are no bubbles.



Opening Day

I didn't get a 36 week photo of me preggo that included the belly. This is the best I could do. As you can see from my swollen face, the rest of me has decided to swell as well. Hands, feet, everything.

Still, we managed to have a good time at the Reds Opening Day. In this picture we are at a bar which really is torture for a girl who likes a cold beer on a hot Spring day that involves baseball. I survived without incident or breakdown so I think that's a pretty good day.


Miss C stayed home from daycare with Miss Amy while we were at the game. We got her a very creepy Rosie doll to add to her collection of baseball mascot dolls. Thought she needed to add a girl to that mix despite the fact that I really do think this doll is creepy.

The funny thing is while Miss C is on a Micka Mouse kick she is also on a Grover (from Sesame Street) kick and keeps calling Rose, Grover. It's funny.


After we got home from the ballgame we let Miss C eat an Easter Cupcake that Nana and Papa brought. She kept saying they were for a birthday so everyone had a birthday that night.


New furniture

This weekend Miss C's new bedroom furniture was delivered. Of course, it wasn't as smooth as we would have liked because the crib is actually two different colors, cherry and expresso. We ordered expresso and the rest of the furniture is expresso.

It will take 4 weeks to get the correct crib so it should arrive right about the same time as Miss R. Thankfully we can use the bed as is and initially won't need a crib for Miss R so we can use the other one if necessary.

As you can see from this picture, Miss C wasn't phased by the colors of the bed and managed to sleep quite well. What you can't really see in this picture is the sheet we have taped to the front rail of the bed because she decided she wanted to chew on the bed at naptime earlier in the day. She now points to her bed and the wrapped railing and says "no eat" which would be funnier if that bed was more than a week old.
