A week ago, my mom came to visit us for the weekend as mentioned in the Wicked post. It was awesome. Since she doesn't get to see Livy very often (in person) she wants to spend as much time with her as possible. What does this mean for Matt and me? We get three days of sleeping in, no changing diapers, no dealing with tantrums, and the list goes on! It's awesome! We are big fans of Grandma coming to town. And Livy LOVES the constant attention.
Anywho, every time Grandma B. leaves, this is usually what's left behind:
A ridiculous amount of new toys... (She came this weekend to buy Livy's big Christmas presents that we wouldn't be able to get home from CO. And we weren't suppose to open them, but we couldn't help ourselves. We were more excited than Livy. Now we have no idea where all of this is going.)
A 50% increase to Livy's wardrobe:
New freakin' cute shoes:
And for us, groceries! Woo! We've never had so many boxes of snacks! Thanks, mom! Please move closer so Matt and I can have more date nights!
Here's Livy Lou on the day of her first gymnastics class. I need to invest in some cute little leotards for the girl. So we decided that since Livy's going to have zero height - she can become a little short gymnast! Just kidding, she just has so much energy, so we're attempting to help her burn some of that during the week and just MAYBE start to get a little focus. First, we tried a structured toddler class which didn't go too well. We were both almost to tears towards the end. So now we're doing an unstructured class which is SO MUCH BETTER. I follow her lead instead of her following a coach's lead. We'll probably stay in this class until she's two, just so the coolness of the gym can wear off. Her favorite things to do there are: push this little tire across the floor, walk across the beam over and over, hanging from the mini bar, and jumping on the trampoline and in the bounce house. Here's what she gets at the end of each lesson:
She LOVES it! I need to invest in some stamps for potty training!
