BIG GIRL BICYCLE!

Yesterday was a big day for Saylor. In three year old terms at least. Yesterday she went with me to the dentist and after a little coaxing, was very good :) The last time she went to the dentist, she was happy until they tried to lean her back in the chair. It was over after that. So this time, she got to watch me get my teeth cleaned, then sat in daddy's lap and let the dentist look at her teeth. Baby steps!

We then went to Walmart and got her a 'big girl' bike. Her little radio flyer tricycle was starting to rub her knees so it was time for an upgrade. She rode her new bike around all of Walmart while we picked up a few other things. She had so much fun and all the older people that were in Walmart got a huge kick out of her. Mas and I decided that was the easiest shopping we have ever done and might just take the bike with us every time we go! Then, we went to the park and broke in the new bike.

Later, since she was good at the dentist, she got a treat. And she chose ice cream for her treat--of course, to keep those teeth nice and healthy ;). And she wanted it in a CONE. She was very clear on that. I hadn't even realized she had never had an ice cream cone, just ice cream in a cup. But, she put it away like a pro.

More Saylorisms

It's hard to really grasp how funny/cute some of these are because you can't hear Saylor's sweet little voice say them (and because I'm her momma and think most things she says are funny), but I'm writing them down anyway for my own memories. I hope I can always remember her sweet little voice!

*the other day day she said "Mommy, when I'm in trouble, you talk like this (she then grits her teeth and continues to talk) 'DON'T DO THAT!" It was so funny! And it made me realize how much I talk to her like that lately. It has been a trying few months to say they least. She also told her daddy and Staci at church that I talk like that when she's in trouble. She's gonna be such a tattle tale!

*We were building a tower with blocks and when it fell down, she dropped her head and sadly said "I just want all my dreams to come true". What the heck?! I actually asked her to repeat what she said to make sure. No more princess movies for her.

*The other day I had a nosebleed (which I can only count one other nosebleed that I've had ever--so she obviously has never been around me when that happened). She was amazed and said "Mommy, your boogers are RED!!" I explained to her that my nose was bleeding. She responded with "Mommy, when my nose bleeds I want it to be purple.................no, I want it to be green........or yellow." Gotcha. I'll get that request right in for ya.

*She wanted me to take a picture of her and Samson and so she put her arm around him and said "Smile, buddy". So sweet!

About 5 minutes after that she told me that "Samson wont quit interrupting me while I'm digging in the dirt".

*Last week Saylor told me that she can't wear blue (it was actually turquoise), green, or black shirts because they are for boys. Then today when I was trying to get her to put on shorts to go outside and play, she told me that shorts are for boys too. And they were PURPLE shorts for that matter! Apparently she can only wear dresses or tutus. But when she goes outside she literally lays in the dirt, digs in the dirt, and pours dirt all over her. Sorry baby girl, but your going to have a long spring and summer dressed like a little boy!!

*She wanted me to wear one of her tutus or princess dresses. I told her I was too big. She told me if I would get smaller I would fit. Therefore, I am on a new diet/workout plan to try to fit into a 5T princess dress! Wish me luck :)

Our weekend getaway

A few weekends ago, we headed down south to Plano to see my friend Erin, celebrate my birthday, and have the famous (to us at least) Tom Slott photograph Saylor. We had a great time, ate great food (Thanks Karen), and Mas and I got to have a little date night at one of our faves, Texas de Brazil while Erin watched Saylor.

Here are some of the pictures Tom took while we were there.

Thank you, Slott family for your hospitality. We appreciate everything! And Tom, we are so thankful that you continue to share your amazing talent with us!
