Someone in my mom's group is throwing a baby shower for a lady who said she wanted to cloth diaper.  When I heard this I of course couldn't resist!  I made her 3 onesize diaper covers, 5 newborn covers and got her 2 dozen nb prefolds and a pink snappi!  I'm so excited!  If only I could make it to the shower…

Grandma Lynn, Gpa and Grandma Pruban came to visit for the day today.  Grandma Lynn read a lot of books to wren and wren showed them her picture taking skills.  She took this picture of Gpa…. with my help.  She's getting better at aiming, but not as good at looking at the viewfinder.

Wren was having fun today with her bear in her shopping cart and all the towels that I recently bought to make diapers. She had to keep taking the bear out because he was crying and then he needed extra towels because he was cold.

Wren got some new sandals this weekend and we were trying them out today.  Hopefully these last longer than her purple shoes!

Wren: I’m a dog woof woof… I’m a blue dog…
Me: What makes you want to be a blue dog??
Wren: Papa.

I must admit that I was a bit annoyed when wren started adding red legos to my green tower, but it turned out looking like a flower! I’m glad I didn’t hinder her creativity.

If you aren't sick of zoo photos yet.. we went to the zoo again today.  I love that the Madison zoo is free and so easy to get to.  Here is wren with the rhinos (they weren't cooperating) and the giraffes.  Although, I think her favorite this time were the seals and prairie dogs.  Be prepared for more zoo pictures next week.

Wren putting her shoes on by herself.

I started making some more diapers today and was laying out the fabric and trying to see how many of the pattern I can fit on it.  Wren got another pattern piece and had to put hers on my fabric too.  Then, she decided she had to get her own fabric and tried to lay it out, but was very frustrated that it wouldn't lay flat (no matter how many times she shook it!) so mama had to help her.  She then took her pattern and put it on the fabric and kept moving it around like I was.  My little diaper maker :)

the song fibber island started playing and wren was like…’oh a good one!’ and then she’s trying to sing with it and instead of island she says ‘love you’ and then she just starts singing ‘love you papa love you papa’? it was very cute!

I was bringing the garbage and recycling cans back to the house today and wren was pointing to where we keep them telling me to put the 'right there'!  too funny…

I told Wren that maybe we could get Chinese for supper….
Wren: Wren like a Chinese
Me: Wren you like Chinese?
Wren: Wren like a Chinese. I like to eat it.
Me: (confused since I don’t think she ever had Chinese food.) What do you like?
Wren: Cheese!!

Wren likes looking at our flowers in the front of the house… I see some gardening projects in our future!

We went to a 'dream park' in Monona today with tracy and mike.  I think wren was a bit overwhelmed at first, but she still had a lot of fun.  We had a picnic in the cold, super windy weather… not the best idea… marc was running down the parking lot trying to retrieve a napkin.. stuff was blowing everywhere and I was freezing.  I ended up taking a nap in the car after the picnic while everyone else played more.

We went to the Milwaukee County Zoo today to meet up with some of my college friends.  Wren took a while to warm up to them, but by the end of the trip she was holding hands with the other little girls and having a lot of fun.  We went on the train there… which I thought was her first train ride not even thinking about the el this past summer.  The penguins were definitely a highlight.

Gpa found a small pink fishing rod for wren and she was very excited! ….maybe next year….

Wren got to fish with G-pa today for a little bit until she decided that going down the slide sounded like more fun.  She went down this slide a ton of times at the cool park by the zoo.  There was also a neat shoe slide that she liked, but we didn't get any pictures of that.
