Picnic Time with my friends

Johanna loves to have picnics with her baby dolls and stuffed animals. This morning, it was pizza and fries. Very nutrious -

Let me sample this pizza a little.

Hi everyone -

Our little pianist

Tom brought home Aunt Christine's keyboard from when she was little. Johanna loves it. She likes to play us music. I even learned how to play Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star for Jo.

Such a cute smile.

Don't interrupt me, I am busy composing my next masterpiece.

PS Sorry some of the photos aren't great - our computer screen is dead on our laptop, so I can't use my Memory Manager to spif up the photos before I publish them. But I thought I should get them on-line before Johanna gets back from G&G Maloney's.

I'm a big girl now!

On Monday night Tom asked Johanna if she wanted to sleep in her big girl bed. It's been in her room for a couple months, but she has not been intereseted. But Monday night she said "ya" and that was it! Tom was very proud of himself. I was shocked that it was that easy. I think I'll let Tom take over all the big girl events - potty training next! Now time to get Baby Boy G's room ready - he can have his crib right away!

Breakfast with the Bunny

We went to Breakfast with the Bunny at the Zoo with the Gigot's - Val, Steve and Elizabeth.

Johanna didn't really like the ears, but tolerated them for a minute.

Elizabeth was ready for a nap, but still was all smiles.

Baby E with the Bunny - she liked him and was curious.

Johanna on the other hand, wasn't too happy to see the big furry bunny. She sat with daddy just long enough to get her stuffed beaver and then was done.

Johanna's 1st Haircut!

Johanna had her 1st haircut today. She did great! Johnathan gave her some advice on Friday, which probably helped. He told Jo "Don't be scared. They just cut your hair like a square". It must have helped, because she did wonderful. Both Tom and I were somewhat suprised. We set our plan - Tom would entertain and I would snap pix. At first, Johanna was little squirmy in the chair, but then settled in. She did not like the smock on at all. She tried 2 of them, but it wasn't going to happen.

Johanna wasn't too sure about the 1st few snipes. Somehow the stylist got a good cut with Jo turning away. Ok, I guess it's not that bad.

It helped that there was a little boy sitting next to Johanna getting his hair cut too. She was checking him out and his new hair-do. They had a TV with cartoons too. Daddy even got to watch a little TV after Johanna was comfortable.

We took just a little off the back to get rid of split ends. Don't worry, we didn't chop the curls.

When finished, Johanna got a little chick barrett for her hair. The stylist also sprayed a few "sparkles" in her hair and fluffed up Jo's curls.

Out for a Walk

Johanna loves to be outside. She doesn't care what the weather is, as long as she can be outside. Johanna walking her puppy outside - Thanks Aunt Jane for my puppy. I love Jo's new shades.

Out and About

Johanna wouldn't ride her bike, but she pushed her bear around on it. She loves to go for walks -

I like the shadow on the sidewalk from this pix.
