Punky Brewster is alive!

Punky has nothing on our little rugrat; she is full of her own style now-a-days. She tells me "no" when she does not want to wear something and when I ask if she likes it if she says "mine" that means yes as she wants to steal it.
Check out her own outfit creation, this is an apron and a doll dress on her head that she think is a hat:




We are in the pre-terrible 2s or they have arrived early. She is strutting her independence all over the place and making sure she is not only causing us frustration but physical pain as she is still into hitting. :(
We have long chats but they seem to go in on ear out the other, or she says "yes" then follows up with doing whatever we just told her not to. oh well, we knew it was bound to rear it's ugly face one day.

In other news, Riley was moved into the "Pre-Pre-School" Class as she passed some of her requirements to get in there. She is youngest kid in the class, when they don't bring in Chase, so she gets to see the older kids talk/play. I have been there a few times during snack and get to watch her socialize with the other kids and she even cleans her table and chair before she is done. The teacher told me that she is the little "teacher" herself always telling the other kids to sit down and helping them with their chairs.

Friday i picked her up and she had 3 stickers on her coat. She got them for each time she used the "big girl potty"! So i looked and she used 1 diaper all day since it was dry, she went all the time in the potty! I was in shock! So that night I got her home and told her how proud I was and she ran into the bathroom and wanted on her potty.... and she went again!
She is really getting use to this and I really do believe a lot of it has to do with daycare since she can see other kids going all the time. WOO HOO DAYCARE!

This weekend Grandma Sue arrives in on Friday. Riley calls her: Gummy Yaya. Grandma's cat is named Raja, Riley cannot say it so she calls her yaya. So Gummy Yaya is heading in on Friday and we are spending some time with her before she heads up to Lori's condo. Should be fun for Riley, she only gets to see Yaya on the computer during our skype sessions.

Ok well that is all i have to blog right now, nothing really going on for the rest of us!

(she wanted to take a picture too!):
