Blue Skies, Fairytales and Baby Dolls

Saturday morning we got up and decided to go out for breakfast. We had a Groupon for Sky Blue, a little restaurant in our neighborhood. It's been a LONG time since we'd eaten there - I think exactly a week before Lilli was born.

Big difference:The food service was a little slow, but nothing bad. It's a small place and we only thought it was slow because we had a hungry toddler who doesn't understand waiting. She ended up eating a ton that morning - pancakes, bacon, cheese, fruit, etc. I had this crazy stuffed pancake with bananas and nutella. It was SO good! Lilli was also super well behaved, she kept talking to this young couple sitting beside us. Thankfully they didn't mind her being so social and when they left told us how impressed they were with how good she was. That's always nice to hear and helps even out the times she's terrible in public!
After we got home and played around for a while I took her over to Fairytales for story time and to do a little shopping. She had so much fun pushing around their little buggy that I almost bought her one! The story that day was about Guitars and we made little cardboard guitars with rubber band strings. Lots of fun!
I picked out a couple of number puzzles and magnets for her since we're working on counting (as well as colors). I just tossed them in her buggy so then she wanted to put EVERYTHING in her buggy. Thankfully we were able to sneak the extra stuff back and only get the couple of things I had gone for.
That evening we headed out to Nashville West for dinner and some sales tax free shopping. We ate at Bojangles. Of course she was socializing with anyone sitting around us. She was SO hungry and ate ALL this food. It was kind of spicy, but she loves spicy stuff so it was a huge hit.
She's such a turkey. She laid back in the chair and just ate and ate and ate.
HEEEEEYYYYY! She will yell at you until you acknowledge her.
At Target we let her play with toys while we shopped. She things the huge balls are hilarious.
For some reason she wants to stuff her face in it and then just dies laughing.
While I picked out a wedding gift Brent had her in BabyDoll land playing. She LOVED this peek-a-boo doll.
The mini dolls were a big hit, too!
We lined up several of them and she'd just play with one and then the other and back and forth.
We were looking at some of the stuff and turned around to notice she'd pulled the bottom row off and was hanging out on the bottom shelf. Ooops!!!
I was open to buying her a new doll but the ones that didn't do anything were all ugly, and the ones that did things were at least $20 and that's just stupid. So the only thing she got that night was a little $4 play broom because I'm tired of her knocking things over playing with my broom! She loves to "sweep!sweep!" but is pretty dangerous with the full size one. This one is working out much better, and tonight she had us both out sweeping the deck.
