We started the year off with a home depot craft and some snow adventures with my friend Maren. It snowed a few times at the house so we just went sledding behind their house once and behind our house the next. We had fun racing each other in separate sleds and we rode together too! The first trip, both of our families went and we had a fire and a warm lunch. Then next trip was with the mommies and we had fun sledding then too, but had a cold picnic lunch. Another fun adventure was my first ice skating experience. We went with my buddies Demian and Enzo and our mamas. At first they gave us some plastic things to push and help us skate without falling. I was doing so well that I gave mine back and skated on my own. I did so well, and my mama was so proud of me. We all took a hot cocoa break but then headed back on the ice. My buddies and I didn't want to leave, we had so much fun! We did play at the park for a bit before leaving. I'm still in my swim class and doing great, I learned to dive and swim across the pool without my teacher's help. My friend Lucas turned 3 and we went to his birthday party at kid zone and had a great time. One night when mama was vacuuming the floors, I told her "mama, I would very appreciate it if you would make me dinner instead of vacuuming." And she told me that since I asked politely, that she would stop and make dinner:) Last weekend we spent at papa and grandma's house while mama was on call. We went to uncle Nick and aunt Lori's house one day while papa and gramma had to work. We had a great time playing with all of their toys and with our cousins. They made us a very cool game of tic tac toe, Bella has ladybugs and I have frogs.

A happy new year and positive potty progress. I have been telling mama that I need to potty and running to the bathroom. I have made it lots and missed lots too, but it is progress. I am still having lots of fun riding in our dune racer with Jace, and even gave the strider bike a try. I had fun sledding and eating snacks by the fire with Maddox. Daddy and mama hung a family picture in the living room and I point to it often to show mama that dada is on there. I am still very much a daddy's girl. I enjoyed watching the boys ice skate and hope to go someday too. I played in the tubes and fun balls at the kid zone party. I played in there with my friend Aven, and the a couple of balls at her when I want being very nice. Mama says she doesn't appreciate my tude lately and I have had several time outs. Jace is very kind to me and shares with me and let's me play in his room which I love. Mama says I could be kinder to him;)
