It's a Sunshine Day

The sun gets in the Diva's eyes on the way to daycare. 

PJ pants with seersucker to daycare today. It just wasn't worth the fight.

Finger Painting

I use the word finger lightly because it really became full-body painting. (and no, I'm not the one who bought her shirt.)

Getting her hands good and covered

Not a good time to think, Vivian, not a good time

Then it became foot dance painting

Then bum bum painting

Ta-da!

Dress up

Deadhead shirt and fairy wings - makes total sense to me!

Problem Solved!

I figured out how to solve Vivian's slight nudity issue. I bought a little bikini and just force her to wear the bottoms! Ta da! I still feel strongly against babies in bikinis and I don't plan on ever letting her wear this thing out of our backyard but. The bottoms are the perfect fix because it's not as constricting (or as hard to put on) as a regular suit but it's harder to take off than a diaper. 

At first she was like "what the heck?? Let me out of this contraption!"

Then she was all, ooh spaghetti! 

The house came with a picnic table which is one of the best parts of the house! Whenever the weather is nice, which has been most days lately, I just take our dinner outside and let her eat. That way I don't have to stress about her new found habit of throwing food when she gets bored.

Such a lady with her fork hehe

Why yes daddy, I will give you a cup of cheese on your pasta

Then she played/cleaned off in the pool. This is the best purchase ever!

Weekend Recap

This weekend we finally broke out the summer toys. We have a water table, water guns, a really cool Melissa and Doug sprinkler, and a toddler pool with slide. So this should keep her entertained for about an hour. Actually the loves the pool! She played in it for over an hour after dinner tonight. Naked. I don't know if I will ever be able to post pictures of her in the pool because the child refuses to wear a suit or diaper in it.

So here are some of her clothes in the water table. Not with the water table. IN the water table. This is what prompted the kiddie pool purchase. 

Note her pretty new skirt. The Schaub girls were sweet enough to pass down some new dress up clothes for Vivian and she loved them! This hot pink skirt was her favorite but we also have a fairy princess skirt and a Rapunzel dress! Here she is watching Tangled in her dress.

Last set!

Here are the pictures from the last night at the beach. For some reason there was condensation in my camera lens so there's a funny fog to the photos. I played around with them on iPhoto so hopefully they look a little better.

I think this is such a great picture. I want to get it framed.

Second to Last Beach Post!!

And this isn't even all the blue cover up pictures - just the best

Beach part 1 of ...?

We had a great time at the beach this weekend! I took so many pictures I can't do it in one post. I guess I'm just going to post them chronologically over the next few days. Here's the first half-day.

Checking on her hat

Fun times in the sand!

Peter Pan is very important business

Potty Party

Yesterday Vivian and I went to Target to check out the potty options. We played with all the different noises they made and this is the one she picked. I swear I didn't push her toward it at all! I thought the Elmo one was cute but the flushing noise scared her. 

Testing out the potty

Doesn't look too comfy

Showing how she can boop down the stairs
