Play Date

We had a little "play date" at our house today. Tessa, her cousin Christina, and my friend Ryonna's youngest, Bella...all came over to play!


Mason and Bella had a love hate relationship going on! They wouldn't leave each other's side...but then wanted to fight over everything! :) I feel love in the air!

Even when Mason would play hard-to-get, Bella still would try to win him over!
Christina...the oldest of the group, set up a session of "school" for everyone. They made beautiful art out of foam sticker thingies...I was impressed at how well they all liked to be bossed around by a 7 year old!

Happy Birthday Nana!

Last Friday was my mom's birthday (I won't mention WHICH birthday)! :) This year, instead of gifts, my mom asked me to take her to lunch and a pedicure. I figure that's a win-win...so I was happy to oblige! Well, when Hannah overheard me talking to Jim about the pedicure, she insisted that she wanted to go too!

I was a little wary of bringing my 3 year old into a nail salon...but after many "you have to act like a grown-up" talks, she actually did pretty well!

3 generations of "Sawicki" girls...Nana, Mommy, & Hannah
Very carefully choosing her toenail polish color (aka "peek yo kuh-wa")

After much deliberation and help from Nana, Hannah chose purple...to match her dress, of course!

Hannah acted like she's had several pedicures in the past. Almost like she already knew what to expect!

She liked the warm water...and how the lights in the water changed from green to blue!

This part tickled, she said. :)

She might have been acting grown-up, but she still brought her bunny to snuggle with during the pedicure.
Waiting for the polish to dry! It was sooooo hard for her to not touch the paint!
So she tried to speed up the drying process...
And here's the final product!
After the pedi's, the girls all went to lunch at Red, White, & Brew. It was a fantastic birthday celebration for Nana....just the girls!

Big Boy Bed

This week has been such a turning point in Mason's life...and a week filled with mixed emotions for me. My little boy, my baby...is growing up way too fast. But at the same time, I'm so proud of his accomplishments. First, he's going #1 and #2 on the toilet all by himself which is HUGE!!!

And now this....this is the last picture I'll ever snap of one of my babies in their crib.

Because Mason is now in a BIG BOY BED! He was so excited that he even cleaned it til it was spotless!

There's no turning back now...he's officially not a baby anymore. Unless you wanna talk about how he still refuses to drink milk from anything other than a bottle. My baby boy :)
