Princess Room

So, I am overly excited about changing my baby's room to her Big Girl room, which I will be doing for Christmas. I don't think I could express my obsession with it. It is kind of ridiculous just how insane I am about getting Princess stuff for her room. I have spent a lot of money on it already, and keep spending, spending, spending!!!

It's funny when I think about it. When she was a baby, I hated Princesses and didn't think I would ever want Princess stuff for my daughter. It was always going to be Pooh Bear, because I loved Piglet so much for her. And then one day, my friend Steph, who know I was looking for a plush chair, bought 2 at a yard sale. A yellow Pooh Bear one and a Pink Princess one, and well, I don't like Yellow, I like all things Pink. So I took the Princess chair, despite my dislike of Princesses, just because it was Pink. And that's what started the trend. Pathetic. I now have everything Princess and I am obsessed with it. OBSESSED!

I bought a Princess bedroom set back in July. As soon as I saw it in the Wish book I wanted it and had to have it! Lucky for me, someone was selling the whole set on a Yard Sale site on facebook for $280 and they were nice enough to deliver to me that day!






I love it!!! I am so happy that I was able to get it for so cheap and it's in excellent condition!
So I am excited to take all her baby things out of her room and make it a big girl room! It's going to look so nice! And she will love it! :)

Matt's Mom got her a table and chairs set that turns into a Castle tower when you put it together for Christmas! She is going to LOVE that!

I'm doing pretty good with the things I have for her room, decoration wise.

I also have bedding, and getting another set for Christmas! And will be getting a Cinderella figurine in a few days! Also I know a girl who is getting rid of all her daughter's Princess things. I bought a lot of that stuff of her. She is going to sell me her daughter's Princess CD played and Piggy Bank that's in the shape of a Princess Castle, which I am excited about! Matt is supposed to look for a Princess rug for me at the Disney Store at the West Edmonton Mall...we will see if he actually gets one....

So I don't have A LOT, but I have enough! It's a good thing her room is as big as it is...lol

I'm excited! She is going to LOVE it!!!!!

Halloween!

Alexis had her first pumpkin carving experience this year! She didn't get her hands all goopy with the pumpkin goo. She tried sticking her hand in the pumpkin a couple of times, but then had to wash her hands right away. She had more fun just watching Grampa touching the goo! She is such a girl. Hates getting her hands dirty! Her contribution to our pumpkin was coloring all over him! She loved it though!








Halloween came and went, and it was so much fun this year! My girl had no idea what trick-or-treating was, yet she was super excited to go, when I told her about it!

She absolutely loves dressing up! She loves putting on princess crowns and tutu's and waving her wand around saying "abra cadabra" which comes out as some kinda jibber jabber that only a Momma could understand!

Alexis and Braelyn were fairy princesses together! They were so cute! Alexis was a punk rock fairy princess dressed in only pink and black (of course!!). I couldn't believe how cute she was once I got the costume on her!! The cutest thing I'ver ever seen! :)

That morning we went to Early Years in Brighton, with Nicole and Braelyn, the girls dressed up in their fairy costumes, and ready for the Halloween Parade at the retirement home in Brighton.


The girls are growing up so fast! Having pretend breakfast at Early Years!






I love that they are Best Friends!

They were a big hit at the Retirement home! All the elderly people loved Alexis! "Look at the cute little girl in the pink and black!" I was such a proud Momma that day!" She really was the cutest kid there! But I'm sure that's just my opinion, because I'm her Mommy! lol



Alexis LOVED Trick-or-treating! She still talks about it almost a week later! She calls it "treatin" She even asked me today if we could go "treatin again!" I'm so happy she had a fun experience! It was such a nice night that night too, which is awesome because usually it is so damn cold. NO winter coats this year, and walking without shivering. As a parent, I can only hope EVERY year is like that, but fat chance :( I remember trick or treating in the snow when I was little..lol So this nice weather was just great!

She loved going door to door. She wouldn't say trick or treat, or anything for that matter, until they gave her candy, which she put in her bag herself, and then said thank you as she walked away! SO cute! At least she has good manners!


Her first door!


2nd house.."you gonna give me candy?" look!





She had so much fun that night! She was tired though, walked as slow as a turtle to every house, so we only made it to about 12 houses in an hour, but she was in her glory! She'd do it every day if she could! hah!

I've started trying to potty train Alexis. She is pretty stubborn though and only has an interest on sitting on the potty every couple of days. I'm not trying to push it. I want her to do it on her own time and willingness to do it. She had a little tinkle the other night, and I was so proud, even though she forced it out because she dropped her book and I told her she could have it back if she peed and literally pushed it out of her. So I know she understands, she just doesn't want to do it.



She wont sit on her potty, she has to sit on the toilet, which is fine with me. I don't mind. She will sit there and listen to me read her Potty Book to her, and she listens so good to it, like she is taking it all in. I know one day soon she will pee on the potty, I just wish it was sooner rather than later. She always fights with me during diaper changes now. It's so frustrating. Potty training feels like one of the hardest thing so far. I kinda just can't wait for this step to be over...lol Although I still like her diaper bum, I am ready for little underwear!











Alexis got to see My Little Pony at the Mall. There, she got to see Zaphyn. She is the granddaughter of her Babysitter. Alexis loves Zaphyn! She is a year older than Alexis and learns so much from her! I wish they got to see each other more! Can you tell by the hug Alexis is giving Zaphyn, that she misses her, just a little bit?!



Alexis doesn't get to see friends very often. So I love this picture of her having fun with her friends! She had so much fun that day jumping and dancing around with Braelyn and Zaphyn! It was nice to see her as happy as she was to be around them!


The only picture I have of her and the Ponies!

It's so hard to believe that it's November already. Where did the year go to? I am looking forward to Christmas this year though! It's definitely going to be a big one for Alexis, and I am crazy excited to see her on Christmas morning :) it is fun playing Santa, and this year, she is getting spoiled from me!
