Father's Day & Other Things

Grandma and PaPa Clark came over on Tuesday night last week and watched Paisley all day on Wednesday since I went out of town for two days and Brian had baseball.  She loves spending time with her grandparents!  I heard they did a lot of playing and Paisley was wiped out and asleep by 6:45pm that night!  Way to go Grandma and PaPa!

This was the morning that I left.  Oh how my heart melts for this little girl!

I went to a school counseling conference in Hot Springs and got to meet up with a bunch of Springdale counselors.  I had a great time but was ready to get back to my family!  This is a picture of Fisherman's Wharf, a restaurant on the water in Hot Springs.  It was such a beautiful night to be outside!

Paisley LOVES books!  She just may be a teacher someday.  She mimics a teacher and holds the book up like she's reading to her class.  I got three videos like this.  She just kept reading and reading.  I was having trouble not laughing while watching her!!

We celebrated Father's Day Sunday!  We got up and gave daddy our presents.  I got him a watch that is made out of wood.  For every watch bought, they plant a tree.  How cool!  I got it at Red Envelope which is a great place to get manly gifts.  Paisley made this stepping stone for Daddy - with my help.  She had a lot of fun placing the stones and jewels although she kept putting them in her mouth and I kept having to tell her to spit them out.  I could not get her to stop doing that!

This morning we took the tricycle up to our neighborhood and found two little girls there already.  It didn't take long for Paisley to make friends.  They were all looking around for roly poly's and found a bunch!  Paisley thought it was funny that the bigger girl let them crawl on her arm.

And she hugged one of them two times and gave her a couple of pats on the arm.  They all went down the slide so many times!  She's getting so good at doing all of it by herself!

After playing at the park, Paisley wanted to play in her new apron that I got her in Hot Springs.  I had her name embroidered on it.  So cute and the hairbow matched so I thought it was a cute touch.

Lastly, we read her book "Potty" and talked about it.  I asked her if she wanted to go to the big potty and she said she did.  She walked in there and we talked about the big potty.  Then I put her seat on it and asked if she wanted to sit on it and she said yes.  We took her diaper off and I sat her up there and she hated it - just like the other times we tried it.  But, I took her off and we talked about it and finally after several times of not wanting to be up there, she grabbed the handles and sat up there all by herself and just looked around.  I kept telling her to let out her peepee.  She didn't end up doing it but at least she sat up there and knows what she's supposed to do up there!  Progress!
