This month was pretty warm compared to what it has been in the past. We are loving this NY winter this year! We have been able to still leave the apartment each day and go out and do something which is so nice with two kids. Charley was a breeze to potty train and we were still able to leave the house each day while doing it. I bought a portable potty that she has been using at the playground. It really only took her about 3 days and then she was completely potty trained! She doesn't even go at night/nap-time. I know none of my others kids will be like this so I am relishing this potty training business while I can. After she went #2 in the potty, we went next door and got an ice cream sandwich! She loved it.
Our Valentine's tradition continues. We sent out Valentines to all of Charley's cousins on both sides and her Grandparents. There was a total of 17 envelopes and 48 valentines for each person! She has a lot of family on both sides. When we went to mail them the post-office lady was surprised we had so many envelopes and was even more surmised when I told her my husband had 7 brothers and I had 6 sisters and a brother!
We got our days mixed up last week and ended up going to a Japanese play group. They were actually really nice to let us join in and it was still fun for Charley to read books in Japanese, sing songs and eat lunch with them. We both didn't really know what was going on but followed along and made the most out of our afternoon.
My dear friend, Gina and her family came to visit again from Ecuador! We took them out to Barboncino's.. this amazing pizza place! And we went to get Ample Hills Ice Cream afterward. This ice cream is the BEST there ever was! They have all these crazy kinds. I got one with honey chunks, potatoes chips, and gooey butter balls in vanilla ice cream. It was actually REALLY good!
Last Saturday we went to the Manhattan Children's Museum and let the girls spend the afternoon playing/jumping/running and having fun. We actually drove into Manhattan which we never do because the weather was soooo cold. We originally were going to go to the Natural History Museum but the line was out the door and we didn't want to wait in the cold, so we went to the Children's Museum which ended up being a lot more fun for Charley. :)
