Pancakes = LOVE

Peyton occassionally gets pancakes for breakfast from McDonalds. She absolutely adores pancake mornings! On Tuesday she asked for pancakes while we were driving to school. Because of morning time restraints we couldn't go until Friday. I said, "We will get pancakes on Friday, okay?" Then in the next breath I said, "I just love you soooo much!" Then Peyton says, "You don't love me NOW Momma?" I guess she thought I was only going to love her on Friday because that's when I was getting her pancakes! PANCAKES = LOVE!!!!

Well, today is only Wednesday but I stopped for pancakes. I was late to work but I didn't care because pancakes = love.

So many cute stories!

Peyton does so many precious things each day, but these are the highlights from this week: -Peyton complained this morning that her carseat was too tight. I told her, "that's because you're getting so big!" Then she made a sad face and lowered her head. She said, "but I still can't reach the top drawer." Hilarious! -tonight Peyton wanted to rollerskate. Afterwards I told her that I needed to get skates too so we could skate together. Then in the sweetest voice she said, "I really need to practice skating. I need to learn how to skate good mommy.". She really is growing into a little girl, not a baby anymore.

Scooby Dooby Doo!

Peyton is now fascinated with all things Scooby Doo. Scooby Doo is the only cartoon she will watch now. She repeatedly watches one movie entitled, "Zombie Island." She has memorized many of the lines from this movie and now repeats them. She looked at her dinner plate and said, "what do you have for me buddy ole pal?"-as Shaggy says to Scooby. She also said, "You're so corny momma."-a line that Daphne says to Fred. If I'm going to be forced to watch a cartoon a billion times at least it's a classic!

My cheerleader!

Almost THREE!

Peyton is growing up too fast! Everything she does has to be done independently. She wants to get in and out of the bath tub alone, brush her teeth, put on her pajamas, and sometimes play alone. It makes me realize how much older she is getting and makes me a little sad. :( She is super excited about her 3rd birthday in October. We are throwing her a costume birthday party with the spirit of Halloween. She has chosen a Minnie Mouse costume and I cannot wait to see her in it. She wants me and Kris to dress as witches...her original costume preference. I will post some Birthday pictures after the party so everyone can enjoy.

Bad Manners

My mom was only teasing when she told Peyton that she was going to let her in on a secret. Peyton said, "It's not nice to keep secrets Ma. It's bad manners."

Thank God!

Peyton was sitting on the potty and said, "God is great, God is good, let us thank him for our potty!" Then she giggled and thanked God again, "thanks for the potty."
