It's that time of year where we rack our brains to figure out what Miss M would like/should get for Christmas. We know she loves Elmo so I thought she would like a Tickle Me Elmo. I haven't actually seen what this looks like. He comes in a box, and there isn't a display model to see what it does. However I do remember that there was some big thing about it many years back, and I'm guessing Miss M would love it.
Miss M has also developed an imagination, so I think/hope she'll love this Lego set. She's such a lucky girl. I never had Legos when I was a kid. I keep looking at this box and wanting to open it up so I can play with it.
We also have a large Pooh Bear stuffed toy for her, you can see a photo of it's bottom here, from when we got it from the store and she managed to identify Pooh Bear from his bottom. Since Pooh Bear was probably a bit dusty/dirty from being in the store so long (don't wanna know), I wanted to give him a bath before wrapping him up and giving him to Miss M. When I brought him to the washing machine, I realized that he would not fit in the top-loading washer. So I brought him over to my MIL's house where she has a newer front-loading washer.
Now I guess I should get a head start on what her birthday present should be...

Miss M is potty training now. We've been working on it for a while, sometimes she's interested, other times she's not. We had the Baby Bjorn Potty Chair (left photo) for the longest time; all she ever did was use it as a chair. However there was some success in it when she stayed overnight at my MIL's house. We leave this Potty Chair there now.
I bumped into a woman at the park a couple months ago who suggested I try one of those things that sits on top of the toilet. So I picked up the Baby Bjorn Toilet Trainer (right photo) to give that a try. Miss M seems more interested in using the toilet now. We try to get her to sit on it and do her thing. Sometimes she pees, other times nothing happens.
Another thing we just picked up was some pull-up diapers.

Miss M is growing. Some of her 24 mos or size 2 clothes are getting small/short on her. She's started to wear her size 3 clothes. I think she's all set in that dept. The only thing I need to pick up for her are 2 more sets of long-sleeve PJs, and maybe some short-sleeve ones too for summer.

Miss M is quite the chatterbox these days, and is getting pretty good at forming simple sentences (and commands too).
