Say Cheese: School Pictures

by Heather

School Pictures, rarely do they come out good, unless you are my nephew Henry, his came out perfect – cute little happy smiling toddling boy – but for Lennox, her pictures do not come out well!

When we switched Lennox to her new school, it happened to be school picture week. So here comes day 3 and we had school pictures — this was the result:

Someone forgot to give Mommy the memo that it was going to be Christmas/Winter themed, hence the monkey outfit! OOPS! So this was the best picture they could get. The others she was completely crying, rather than just taking a break from crying! Oh well, I still bought a sheet of pictures, so I had her first school photo.

A few weeks ago we had school pictures again — both individual and class — the results? Not that much better! First we had class pictures, where they had to wear their uniforms and there is just one picture to choose from. Here it is:

As you can see, we seem to be looking like Miss Grumpy Pants in this picture. The teacher who is with her is the assistant Miss Virginia - Lennox loves her – she is super nice! The other teach is actually not her teacher, but a substitute that day, unfortunately!

Then a few days later they had their individual picture. They are suppose to get 3 poses, but I guess they could only get her to somewhat cooperate for one — this is what we got:

It’s better than the others, but still not great! The colors are better in person, this is a scanned in photo. Either way, I still love getting her school picture, and will always buy at least the $15 sheet of photos to put away for her to have later :)


The past TWENTY TWO months have flown by…

by Heather

The past TWENTY TWO months sure have flown by. Lennox is already 22 months (almost 23 months, since i’m running way behind) and I am starting to plan her 2nd birthday party. I’m not sure if i’m ready to have a 2 year old!! – although we have hit the terrible two milestone – thats for sure! Little Miss Smiley Pie here may look sweet, but she has a mind of her own and knows what she wants, and if she doesn’t get it, you are going to hear about it!

So, what is going on in Lennox’s world?

Words Sentences: We no longer are trying to keep track of what words she knows, she seems to know everything she needs to know – she never shuts up! School says she is somewhat quiet, I find that hard to believe! She goes to bed talking and wakes up talking… and likes to tell you what she wants, sees, feels, likes, etc. She will repeat almost anything at this point, which can be a fun game to play! Mommy and Daddy have to be very careful with what we say these days!
Favorite toys: She still loves her babies, her play kitchen, fisher price talking animal zoo. She is really into playing outside and doing arts & crafts.
What makes her laugh: She still loves to be chased and playing hide and seek – that gets the biggest belly laughs still.
Clothing size: 2T/3T — she is growing like a weed (height wise – still has a tiny little waist)
Shoe size: 5.5-6 lately! Her feet decided to start growing a lot!
Favorite Foods: She will eat about anything, but her favorite snacks are fruit snacks, strawberries, oranges, apples, cookies, ICE CREAM, applesauce and cheese.
Favorite Drink: Milk & Water are still what she likes. She will ask for Lemonade or Orange Juice, still no apple juice.
Number of Teeth: We have 16 teeth so far!!
Milestones: On our last update, I said we may be starting potty training – that has gone now where. She likes to sit on the potty, for about 2 seconds, but that is all that happens. She goes, I DID IT! when she sits on the potty and then gets up, but so far, nothing is happening. We are not really working on it much though — she just isn’t ready yet. Other milestones? She is climbing up into her chairs, she can walk up and down the stairs pretty well and she is learning how to ride her trike.

Well, thats about it — Soon i’ll be writing our 2 year update — i’m not ready for a TWO year old!!

PS – Thanks to Tottums @ Froggy & the Mouse for linking up some collage directions for PicMonkey :)

Montessori Update

by Heather

Before I disappeared for a few months, I wrote about Lennox starting Montessori school. Well, almost 3 months into it – she seems to love it, as do we! We have already seen a lot of changes and the things she knows how to do. It may be a coincidence that she knows how to do these things because of age, or maybe its the school — I guess I have nothing to compare it to! For now, lets assume the place we are giving our money too is helping out ;-)

Lennox seems so much more like a little person than a little baby/toddler. She wants to do things for herself and she does NOT like if you don’t let her try first! Most tasks, she will end up asking for help in the end…”help peas, help peas”. Lately, putting on her socks “sucK” (we need to work on that one!), shoes “schhhhoooes” — this is a daily activity that she likes to do on her own now.

She also has a thing about taking her jacket off right as she gets home – nothing bad about that — well if you have yours on too still, she will let you know and pull it off of you! Bossy little thing she is!

So other than wanting to try dressing/undressing herself, shoes, etc… she is eating at the kitchen table now rather than her highchair. We haven’t used it in weeks — i guess its time to fold it up and put it away! She can’t eat anything (even finger food) without asking for her fork.. you can use your imagination as to what that must sound like when she says it…another one to work on!! She would rather a cup than a sippy cup. She also is talking more and more in sentences. The best ones lately have been, “Mommy, have a seat”, “Daddy are you in the shower?” and “Daisy is outside”.

Lennox loves to clean up too — if she spills, she looks for a towel to wipe it up, if there is trash, she wants to put it in the trashcan, if there is laundry, she puts it in the hamper, etc.

So really what I am saying is, Lennox is getting way to big, way too fast!! She seems really happy when I bring her to school in the morning and she is happily working, playing or doing crafts when I pick her up in the afternoon. The best pick up afternoons are when she sees me, yells my name, grabs my hand and drags me over to what she is working on to show me. Just too darn cute I tell ya!!

Here is all her cuteness in her little uniform too:

Anyone else have experience with Montessori? So far, we are really happy with the decision we made!

Be Mine! Happy Valentine’s Day!

by Heather

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! We hope you have a great day with your sweetheart! Here is our little valentine….

Today at her school they are having a little “friendship day” party. She was given the task of making one special valentine to bring into class and she will exchange with one person. Here are a few pictures of her making her valentine:

We don’t do much for valentine’s day, but we do have a little valentine for Lennox :) Looking forward to giving that to her tomorrow afternoon!

Does anyone have any big plans for valentine’s day? We sure don’t! Have fun in whatever you do! HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY!

PS – Look how little she was this time last year! Valentine’s Day 2011
