Bug box or potty cup??

Saturday was Charlotte's 2nd birthday party (and yes, Ethan's due date, but no, no ethan yet.). J, Justi, myself, and M had to go to Target before we went to the party to pick up Charlotte's present (yes, I always put stuff off until the last day...) and we picked out some moon sand b/c I figured charlotte would have a blast with it...maybe not so much Jess...anyway, while we were at Target Justi bought M a new bug set (has net, couple of plastic bugs and a cup with a magnifying glass to see bugs in). She did so because her dog ate M's last bug net, and apparently felt guilty.

While we were driving to the lunch, Justi gave M the toy, still wrapped and M started asking what the stuff was:

M: what's that? (pointing to the net)
me: That's a net for catching bugs!
M: Oh! what's that? (pointing to the bugs)
me: Those are bugs.
M: Oh! (excited giggles) and a cup! momma, I potty in the cup!
me: (stunned for half a second) oh, no baby! babies don't potty in cups.
M: oh. Just momma's? for the doctor?
me: yes, that's right. Just for the doctor.

so? I've been taking her to the doctors appointments with me, and each time I have to pee in a cup, and M knows now that sometimes I have to pee in a cup. why not her too??

Stranger Danger

Ok. So, we've talked to M about strangers a bit, telling her to be safe and what not. A couple of times she brings it up when we say no she can't do something and she says "because there are stangers?" or some such. We haven't talked about it recently, but apparently the message stuck: We were at Wal-Mart, had just finised checking out and J went to use the restroom and M wanted to get a drink from the water fountain -I was still a few steps behind, so M said "Mom will you come a little bit closer?" and I said yes, and she continued "because you wouldn't want a stranger to grab me." I smiled and said "No I wouldn't like that." And she said "You would say 'oh no! someone has taken my child!" At which point I couldn't help but laugh and tell her how much I loved her.

End of the week

This week has been lots of fun. J's mom, step-dad, sister and nephew all came to stay with us for the week. We've had a lot of fun visiting, playing games, and swimming. I'm so glad they came to visit us, aaallll the way from Idaho! We're lucky they had the time and all came! They are leaving in the morning because his step-dad has to work sunday afternoon! Crazy wonderful people. On another note, tomorrow J and I will have been married 3 years. I can hardly believe it's been three years....absolutely wonderful. I have never made a better decision in my life!

bribe

We had a fun weekend - we went to the zoo which was having family fun day, and then we went to the dog show (both of which were free). Then on Sunday we went to Greg & Robin's to see their new puppies, and they are stinkin' cute! And Greg BBQ'ed for us - yummy! At one point, while we were hanging out at their house, Robin sat down on the couch and asked M if she was gonna come sit by her, and M said: "I will sit by you if you get me a drink of water." (as she was climbing up on the couch next to her). And this would be the first time I have heard her use a bribe (and certainly not the last) - I told her maybe she should ask instead and she got embarassed.
