Sledding...

The black eye in the picture was suppose to come after the Christmas post, but since I can't find the Christmas film, I threw it in here... On Christmas day she was hit in the eye with the WII remote while her cousin was playing tennis... It was so sad and she had the best little shiner ever. Savana felt horrible but really it was my fault for letting her run around in front of her. We spent the Saturday after Christmas tubing behind our house. The kids loved it... Well, maybe not LOVED it, but I loved it... That is one of my favorite things to do. From the first snowfall I wanted to get out there and get thrown off the tube...

Her dad has shoveled the trampoline off after every storm...

This week has been a trying week in the Sargent household. My almost 2 year old has become the little sass... Now some of you will say she has always been this way but I swear she's getting sassier... (Not sure if that's a word but just go with it...) I went to get baby girl out of her crib from her nap and I walk into her buck naked!!! She is jumping up and down yelling "mom, I naked" pretty sure I wouldn't have missed that little detail but whatever... So since she wanted to be naked... (and quite honestly this is becoming a BIG problem... She always wants to be naked, at the office there were 3 teenage boys in the waiting room and Sienna was stripping all her clothes off... We have had several discussion on keeping our clothes on but she's just not going for it... I really have no idea where she gets this from, it's so weird... HE HE) Anyways, since she was naked I thought we would go with the potty training. She has showed a little interest in it so I decided to try it... She has done so well! I am so proud of her. The only problem is, I can't find any underwear to fit her tiny little bum. Tonight she came downstairs after singing the elmo "you can use the potty song" in her crib for 45 minutes and stripped her clothes off. She went on the potty and was playing in her new favorite toy, a box from my dads new smoker, and she had a little accident in the box. I sat her on the steps to talk about it and told her that she needs to use the potty, not the box... I kept asking her where she needs to go and she kept saying in the cutest voice "I don't know" and then would say mom I want to hold you and then kiss me. That is her ploy when she is trying to get of trouble. Just wanted to document that, sorry if it was long... So all in all potty training is going really well. I'm not really pushing her, just letting her take it at her own pace.

Thanksgiving 2008

Here's the Thanksgiving 2008 rundown... We spent Thanksgiving day with my family. It has usually been the tradition to spend Thanksgiving with my side & Christmas Eve with Steve's family. The main reason I insisted on Thanksgiving with my family is all about the BEEF!!! Yep, in our house hold be have Prime Rib for Thanksgiving, not Turkey (after all... Turkey is fowl) It was a pretty mellow Thanksgiving and I loved spending time with my parents & Grandparents. I just feel so blessed to have them in my life. Sienna loves going to "nana's" house. She found so many things to play with & Nana even broke out moms barbie. After dinner Sienna grabbed her blankie and went and snuggled up to Grandpa Tingey. I thought my grandpa was going to melt right then. After the great beef we went to the Sargent household for dessert. Sienna always tries to act like a big kid and wants to be in the middle of everything. While all the kids were upstairs, Aunt Angie was sitting on a chair watching them and Sienna came over and grabbed her hand. She pulled on her & Angie figured she wanted her to come & play with her and she thought how cute that was... Sienna on the other hand had other plans... Once she got her out of her chair she ran over to it, climbed up in it and just grinned at her. Her new thing is everthing is "Sienna's" She will go get my shoes and inform me they are Sienna's. Grandpas chair is Sienna's... I love it. She is so Vocal right now and I am amazed at how much she says... She quite the singer as well, but unfortunetly she takes after her mom & doesn't sound too great... But she sure tries... She sings many songs but her favorite is "Womanizer" She also really likes Bitchy Bitchy spider & twinkle twinkle little star but she sometimes gets them mixed up and sings her own version of both songs. She's also become quite the little people reader. I got sick last week and was laying on the couch not moving much and she kept coming up to me saying "ok momma" and kissing me... I swear, melt my heart. And tonight my dad was on the phone & he was a little upset and she kept coming up to my mom asking if grandpa was okay. I didn't realize how much kids pick up on. I swear she is the smartest kid ever, but then doesn't every parent think their kid is the smartest???
