Blizzard Boredom

Today was yet ANOTHER day of being held up in our house due to SNOW! We are expected to get even more snow tonight and tomorrow. I prefer to not be out and about on the roads in these conditions. But, that means we are pretty much stuck inside all day. Mya is really good about playing and running around the house entertaining herself. However, eventually she gets restless and whiny. I have to be creative about what to do with her that will keep her entertained. I guess you could say blizzards cause creativity! Here's some things we did to cure our BLIZZARD BOREDOM!

Mya helped Mommy with a new banana bread recipe. Her job....the banana masher!

Mya has recently been very interested in Mommy and Daddy going potty. You often hear the little pitter patter of her tiny feet running towards the bathroom so that she doesn't miss the opportunity to flush. Today, she tried to sit on my lap. So I thought, when better to introduce her to her very own potty? I put the toddler potty in her bathroom and she was instantly amazed! She practiced going potty before bath....and after! She doesn't quite get that she has to GO to the bathroom, but she was very proud of herself for sitting on it. We clapped and cheered in excitement! I don't think she's quite ready for potty-training, but we sure are enjoying pretending!

Mya is also very fond of brushing her teeth. She begs to brush and loves watching herself brush in the mirror.

Bathtime is probably her least favorite part of bedtime routine. She is just too anxious to go potty and brush...again!

One more try at the potty! I thought it was hilarious that she held her hands together. It looks like she is "thinking." Note she is soaking wet. She ran to the potty before I could wrap her in her towel!
