Saturday Shopping, Snacking and Spanking

We had great plans for the day and much of those didn't happen! We started the morning with breakfast at Mimi's Cafe in Round Rock. We ordered Abby Mimi Mouse pancakes and she threw every last shred of these nice pancakes on the floor. She didn't eat a bite- I was mortified. Luckily as early as it was the other guests were grandparents and young families who were very forgiving. We told her no, slapped her hand, spanked her bottom, took her outside, ignored her... you name it. Nothing worked. It was so frustrating. After breakfast, we went to Garden Ridge. I want a small bench on the front porch and they had a great option for us. We bought this bench in black; however, when we got it home we found the box was taped back up and the bench was damaged. So, we are off to Garden Ridge tomorrow.
After G.R. we went to IKEA to prepare for our church class' scavenger hunt in a few weeks. We had lots of fun coming up with the questions! Everyone is going to have fun running around looking for the Malm, Slorgen and Benno.

Abby played in her kitchen today as well. We raised it recently when some friends came over and discovered Abby can now touch all of the top buttons on her flat feet with it raised. She has definetely grown since December!

She loves that blender!

We were planning to have family photos taken this afternoon with a friend, but the rain pushed us back. So, Marcus and Abby played at the mall playground this afternoon while I visited the grocery store. Luckily, Abby behaved much better this evening and is happily snoozing for the night!

There must be something in the air...Billa has been exceptionally naughty lately too and nothing has really worked for us either! I feel for you. Being a parent and having to deal with those naughty moments out in public can be so embarrassing. Just keep your head, take it in stride and remember that it won't last forever!

She is just testing boundaries. Set up a way you handle the situations consistently and stick to it, so that as she gets older she'll understand.
It could be that maybe she just wasn't hungry, maybe she doesn't feel good. Once they start speaking a little we expect them to be able to communicate but a lot times they don't know how to communicate what is wrong, even when they have the words for it. Don't worry about what other people are thinking. Everyone has been there and if they haven't, they will be. :)

Trinity throws her food on the floor too...that is how we know she is done! Luckily, our dog is happy and well fed at this point!
oh! And another thing...The outfit that Abby is wearing is adorable! Trinity has that outfit too...my parents bought it in Vegas!

Geez, Anna, that baby looks just like you in that last picture!

And, James just said the pics in the next posting REALLY look like Marcus.

She's such a beautiful little girl!! I love watching her grow.

And, leave her alone if she throws her food on the floor. She's pretty!
