Jenna is definitely 2 and definitely independent. She loves to...or should I say demands to get dressed herself. As these pictures show, she has an affinity for putting shirts and stretch pants on backwards. If I try to help, she immediately holds up her hand and says, "No!" Now, you'd think that if she was so good at pulling pants on and off by herself that she'd be good at doing it to go potty. Oh, if only I were so lucky. The other day, she came to me and asked if she could wea
r her princess panties. I replied that she needed to go potty first. Without hesitation, she conceeded, "Here's a diaper." She has also gotten quite good at tattling. She is quick to say, "Joshy did it." Often, nothing has happened and she just feels the need to be heard. Jenna also has a thing for scary movies. I guess this means I'm not a good mom. She has watched the "Goosebumps" movies soo many times (horrible, horrible acting btw). She affectionately calls it "Be-bumps." She also enjoys the movie "Monster House" and "Harry Potter." I can't believe I just admitted that. I guess that is what happens when you have older siblings watching these shows. Don't worry she still loves all the other great kid shows....especially "Little Einsteins" (which she calls "stein-steins" or "rocket"). In spite of her independent streak, she is still extremely cuddly and is attached to Daddy's hip whenever he's around!

Julie - I just found your blog and Angie's blog through a friend of a friend's blog etc. It is so fun to sneak a peak at your life and see what you have been up to since we last saw each other. You have a beautiful family!

Julie, it is good to hear from you. I didn't realize you guys had moved back from CO. We are back from FL as well and are in our old stomping grounds. I'm glad we will be able to stay in touch. Enjoy another snow day! Will it ever stop? :)
Oh Jenna wenna!
She is so dang adorable. Enjoy every minute of it, as you know, they grow up way too fast.
Love you friend.
my e-mail is jendopp@hotmail.com. Send me your e-mail and I'll fill you in on what we have been up to since we last got together. That way we can spare your blog from all of the boring details. :)
seriously -- good thing she's so darn cute, right? That's how we survive the independent streaks! :) And the tattling...the kids finally got tired of me asking, "are you telling me this to help _______ or to hurt them?" Now when they tattle, or try to, they start with, "Mom, this is really just to help _________..." uh huh - sure it is! :)
