Toddler Talking

Izzy has been so funny lately. I have been wanting to write down the funny things she says and always forget. Her Vocabulary has grown tremendously.

Today while driving home from play date we had funny conversation:
I - "We are driving home to take nap."
Izzy - "I don't want home. I don't want nap."
I - "You will need to nap."
Izzy - "Why?"
I - "Because Mommy needs Break."
Izzy - "No, I need Break ;)"

Later today we were driving to a toddler class that one of Mom's from our Moms group is hosting. I was telling Izzy she needs to be nice and share and heard from back seat of the car - "I don't want to be nice!"

Yesterday Jason was putting up some picture frames in living room. He was working on attaching the right hooks and had hammer close by. As soon as Izzy saw what he was about to do she declared - "I want to bang. I want to bang like Daddy". We could not stop laughing. (she was referring to hitting with hammer on the wall)

I really enjoy hearing her use more Latvian words. Especially since my Parents visit few weeks ago. One funny thing she does is she is very particular about keeping "I" in English. Sometimes she will say the whole sentence in Latvian but "I" part is always in English.

While my Parents where here she kept mixing up Opis (for my Dad) and Oma (for my Mom). She even came up with universal combo name for both - Opa. For some weird reason some days she knew who was who and some days she kept mixing them up. My Mom would be in the room and she would ask - "Where did Oma go?" ;)

Another thing I just remembered from few weeks ago. We were at CVS drive-through ordering her anti-biotics. I asked her what flavor would she prefer - grape, cherry or strawberry. First pick was chocolate, when I told her that it is not available, she picked Strawberry. When we were done and pulled off she asked for her Ice cream, she assumed we were at McDonalds. ;)

Few days ago we were at Costco and I bought package of new panties for myself. The next morning she told me to be nice and share. She even asked what color I want and then gave one pair to me and took another for herself and said: "Mommy be nice - share Izzy. Big girl panties for Mommy, Big girl panties for Izzy."

She also like to negotiate by asking for one more time or turn. And one of my favorites is when she says - "Okay?"

She is too funny and cute!!! I really enjoy this stage of her life.

Izzy's YELLOW Party

On Saturday September 12th we had Yellow Party for Izzy. Yellow has been Izzy's favorite color for a while now, so we decided to add fun theme to her party.
Izzy's Oma and Opis from Latvia were the honor guests.


Part of the toast from the party: We have lots to celebrate - Izzy's Names Day, Izzy's 2.5yr Birthday, Izzy is Big girl and going to preschool, Izzy uses Potty and Izzy is Awesome Big Sister! (Wow, I got tired just writing it all down ;)


Cake: Homemade Strawberry Chocolate cake with berry cream cheese filling.



We rented Mini Moon Bounce and you can say for sure it was kids favorite part of the party. I truly enjoyed watching kids have so much fun jumping and sliding.



Guests: Jasmine, Zane, Reagan, Adeline and Jack, Alise and Emils.



Jasmine's baby brother is 5 days younger than Izzy's baby sister Amanda. Two little cuties ;)



Our happy family of four, notice Jason's hand on my head and Izzy's on Amanda's ;)
