A LITTLE ON OUR HOLIDAY IN MIAMI!

First of all I am so thankful that we totally missed that blizzard that hit NYC. We would have been stranded in our apt for at least 2 days. You know how that could be with a toddler! We are in warm Miami. We had a cold front...50-40 degrees... brrrrr.. imagine that. jajajajaj People here are wearing winter clothes big time even if its 60. Its kind of funny. We have been going to the beach, eating out, meeting up with friends and their kids making mermaids and turtles in the sand and having a lot of down time. Which I must say is so nice! Here are some pics!

The cutest pic ever!
Making sand castles
Maia doesn't want to take this dress off. She wants it all the time, because she is "a princess".

THE POTTY HAS BEEN MASTERED!

This is a strange thing to share but here it goes... If you are not a parent you would probably not understand the excitement of a parent seeing your kiddie going potty number two! But if you are, oh my.. you know how thrilled you are to see that your little pea has understood the urge to go number one and two in the potty! No more yukky diapers! Maia woke up two morinigs ago wanting to go pipi in the potty all day, no diapers please she asked. Today she actually sat there and dropped the mother queen in! jajajaja Totally disgusting right! yes! I love it! I am so happy! yei yei! for beautiful Maia!
