Rappy Ruff-day Eva!!
Don't wake the Sleeping Beauty
Our little Eva must be going through a growth spurt. We have found her in this position twice in the last 2 weeks. She's kind of funny when it comes to sleep. She stopped taking naps when she was just over 2, and now if she gets even a little one (like the one below), she will be up until 10pm. Case in point ... the below picture was taken today, and it is currently 9:44pm and she is in the basement with Joseph. Crazy girl!


Pittsburgh Children's Festival
Last week we enjoyed the free Children's Festival in Pittsburgh. The kids loved the face painting, carousel ride, fire eating lady and the crafts.

Smothered With LOVE!
You know you're getting old when...
Tooth #1 bottom left middle (tooth O) came out on April 12th. It was really wiggly and daddy helped with the rest.
Before After
She wrote a cute little letter to the tooth fairy that asked what she did with the teeth. The tooth fairy brought her a special gold dollar coin and responded to her letter with an explanation about being an artist and using them to draw on. Kiah loved that because she is an artist too!!
Then tooth #2 came out 2 weeks or so later (with a little help from dad - which Kiah begged him to do for a week.)
Potty Problems
So, I have been participating in a very fun Card Group. I was getting ready for a card swap I had that night, and I got all my stamp pads out and left them on the bed ... can you see where this is going. I of course could only do this while my babies were taking there morning naps, so I wasn't too worried. But, of course - - the babies don't sleep all day! So by afternoon I had forgotten completely about the stamp pads. I didn't see Tate downstairs and I knew that Eva had gone upstairs to go the the bathroom. I called up to her several times to make sure the door was shut. I finally went upstairs and found the following:
1. Eva in her panties sitting on top of the sink.
2. Tate holding my favorite ink pad bobbing it in and out of an unflushed potty.
3. PINK PEE EVERYWHERE!!!! (including on the dress up clothes that were on the floor in front of the potty that Eva was previously wearing.)
4. I VERY FRUSTRATED MOM!
Here is what Tate's hands looked like after that little incident.

But, that wasn't the end of the potty drama. It got better. So ... again later in the day sweet Eva again had to go potty. All of a sudden I hear her SCREAMING bloody murder from upstairs

"My panties, My panties ... I need my Panties!"
I run upstairs and find a hysterical Eva pointing down at a flushing toilet. She could hardly communicate, all she could say was "My panties, My panties I need my panties." I soon discovered that her panties had been flushed down the potty. Once she composed herself and calmed down (it took a good 30 minutes) I got the whole story.
She hadn't quite gotten to the toilet in time and got a little #2 on her panties. So, after she went to the bathroom she decided to try and wash them out in the potty. But her problem (as if that wasn't already a problem) was that she did it before the toilet had finished flushing. So, hence the lost panties.
I have to admit it was quite comical. But, poor girl was totally traumatized! Our sweet Eva, always something!
