My little Miss Piper is the cutest ever! She celebrated her 3rd birthday today with a very special cake and dinner with Nana, Aunt Katie, baby Luke and Abigail. We had her amazing PINK (very PINK) birthday party this past weekend. Aunt Katie made these lovely shirts for the girls......I am in awe!
So a cute story...
back ground....Piper is potty trained but sometimes has an accident.

We were driving home from my folks the other day and Piper kept asking me to turn around and look at her and Maysie. I tried a couple times and then realized that the road was more important to look at while I was driving. I explained to Piper that I needed to look at the road as I didn't want to get into an accident. She then started to giggle and said....Mommy, don't pee your pants!!!!

I made it home safe...no accidents for either of us.

Maysie is on the mend again!

Odd picture, but a very cute shot! Maysie was very freaked out by the mask to her nebulizer! Piper tried it on and Maysie tried to kiss it!

Poor Maysie has had a very tough winter. She has battled many ailments including many bouts with the tummy bug and ear infections, but this weekend she ended up with pneumonia. She was a trooper through it all....high fever, weezing, trip to the doctor, 5 hour visit at the ER, nebulizer treatments, more meds......and then she perked up. Piper was a bit jealous as Maysie got the pink medicine (her favorite color) and couldn't have any herself. Maysie stayed home from school (daycare really) today and Nana took very good care of her. Lot's of naps and cuddles. We are all really ready for spring!

Poor Maysie has another bout of the tummy bug!

Poor Maysie, this has been a tough winter for her. She tries to be such a good girl all the time, even when she is sick and covered in throw up. I had to give her a bath to clean her up at 2am, and still she tried to smile through it. Piper has been a great big sister, trying to help her when she cries. Piper runs to her saying "it's ok Mays, it's ok", holding her head. Boy, I sure hope the rest of the house stays clear of the bug. I am tired of doing laundry.

Holy crap!!!

Piper and Amelia

We had an amazing Sunday at the Children's Museum in Boston with some lovely friends. Piper was able to play with her friend Amelia and Maysie was able to show off her walking skills to baby Caelan. Oh, and best of all....Piper took her first poop on the potty! This might seem pretty small to most...but to a toddler who is potty training, it was really super! Yea to Piper!

Maysie is officially 1!

What the heck is this?

It has been hectic around our house getting ready for Maysie's first birthday. Poor Maysie has been battling a double dose of pnk eye, an ear infection and a sinus infection. Oh, and she is now on a schedule at daycare to only nap once.........makes for a very unhappy baby! However there are these moments that are really amazing. Like watching Maysie walk the length of the house, Piper feeding her a popsicle, Maysie actually getting up and sitting on Piper's chair, and amazing Piper mastering the potty! Boy, these moments are my favorite. I wish I could capture each one! It goes by so quick.....

HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY ARIANNA!!!
