Coming to a Fire Department Near You..........

Anna Claire LOVES her Uncle Josh. Uncle Josh works for the Fire Department and Anna Claire loves to go visit him at the Fire Hall bc they let her sit in the Fire Truck or Big Truck as she would call it. I got this picture from Josh this morning, so I'm guessing her and MeMe went to visit him. It is truly amazing the love that he has for her.

Cheerleader in Training?

Her Daddy was not entertained at all, which is why you see him walking around in the back ground not paying attention to her. He has an issue with cheerleaders for some reason. {seriously}

**You can't hear any sound bc there are issues with videos from my phone, but you get the idea. : )

APPLESAUCE PWEEEZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was in the process of cooking dinner Monday night and Anna Claire came in to the kitchen wanting applesauce. I asked her to please wait until dinner and I would give her some then. Her response was, "APPLESAUCE Pweezzzz!!" How could I tell her no? I'll let the pictures tell the rest of the story and yes we have to take out shirt off when we eat applesauce. : )

This is her face when pretending to burp.

Maybe she really does learn best with her best friends?

I'm sure those of you with children have seen the commercial on NOGGIN about what all the children learn when watching Noggin. I always roll my eyes at the commercial, especially when the lady says, "and there he was doing the Charleston," yeah right. Anyway, after the past few days, I'm beginning to think that Noggin knows what they are talking about. Sunday we were at Wal-Mart in the sippy cup isle and she looked over and said, "Tink Bell." I looked at her with amazement bc I have never heard her even acknowledge that she knew who Tinker Bell was, so I picked up the sippy cups and said, "who is that?" Her response, "Tink Bell" and in the buggy the cups went. ; ) She also talked me in to a Goofy stuffed animal bc she started hollering, "Goofy Goofy Goofy." I can't take her anywhere without buying her something bc she knows I'm a sucker!!

Yesterday we got her monthly Imagination Library book. This months book was called Mine-O-Saur. I got it out of the mail box and took it in the house. I got Anna Claire from her MeMe's, we played outside, and then went in for dinner. I showed her the new book and she shouts, "dinosaur." Again, with disbelief, I pointed to the book and said, "what is that Anna Claire?" Her response, "DINOSAUR!!!!" She also pointed out an elephant and giraffe on TV the other day. I expect her to recognize cows, dogs, cats, and horses, but a dinosaur, an elephant, and a giraffe?

Who said it was OK for my 21 month old to grow up and become so knowledgeable? She's going to love the Zoo this year!!

April 26, 2009.................

Miss Anna Claire will be 2 years old. It's hard to believe that it's already been 2 years. The time goes so fast!! We will be having a birthday party like last year, so mark your calendars!! We are doing the party on Sunday this year bc AC's birthday is on Sunday and I will need Saturday to make sure her gift gets set up so she can have it on her birthday. Yes, I'm being difficult and don't want her to see this gift until her actual birthday. ; ) Anyway, I'm having issues trying to decide what theme I want to go with. Last year we did Hello Kitty, so I can't do it again this year. I know it may seem early to start, but I'm a planner and by this time last year I had already bought gifts. LOL!! I would like everyone's opinion please.
