She’s growing up

In just about 2 months, my baby girl will be 2.

Two years old…seriously, where has the time gone?  Suddenly she seems so big.  She repeats  everything we say (well, tries to repeat it at least!)  She throws all out temper tantrums and has become acquainted with our time out spot.  She’s opinionated as all get out.

I did a little shopping today and bought her size 3/3T clothes for her.  The one shirt I got in a 2T I am exchanging for a bigger size because it’s not going to fit through the summer.  (Little confession that only another gymbo loving mom would understand…hello kid girl clothes!  And still baby girl!  I feel like I am probably getting into my Gymboree prime.! 🙂

Our neighborhood pool opened last weekend.  Summer is officially around the corner!  I took the kids swimming after school today for the first time of the season.  The water is a little cold for Camryn and I.  We were perfectly content to sit in a chair or just dangle our feet in the water.

(like her goggles?  She did that all by herself.  And she made sure to pick the pink ones from the 5 pairs in the swim bag.  that’s my girl!)

The boys only swam for about 45 minutes and then they wanted to go play on the playground.  As if buying my baby 3T clothes and getting her a real haircut (bangs or no bangs?! It’s my biggest dilemma lately. Her hair grows straight down into her eyes. I had some bangs trimmed today. Luckily hair grows and I still don’t know if it was the right choice!) Anyway, as if that wasn’t enough proof that she is getting so big, check out this video of her playing on the big kid slide!

In other news, I registered my middle monkey for kindergarten today.  That’s another “hard to believe my kid is growing up” moment!  He’s going to do great and is so ready to be a big kid like Connor.  But I sure am going to miss him being home with me most of the time.  He’s a total mama’s boy, and I don’t mean in a sissy boy kind of way.  He just loves his mama!  And his mama loves him.
