Monet in the working!

Esther Frayda has been obsessed with painting. I bought her some eco-friendly paint a few months ago. The package had 6 colors in small containers. Every morning, literally the first thing she does is grab her paintbrush and ask me to pour our a little of each color for her on her colors plate. She know if I miss a color and will follow me around, pushing the paint in my hand until I pour some out for her. She does this at least a few times a day. This is very exciting, I really want to create an environment that is creative for her artistically.

When I picked her up from Gymies yesterday, Morah Chaya said they painted that day and Esther Frayda was SO into it. She was very focused and didn't want any help. She is one independent girl, that I know:) The teacher really loves her and can't say enough nice things. Esther Frayda loves going to school and runs right in when we get there without even looking back. It was cute, when I picked her up today, Morah Chaya said that she knew before I got there that is was time to go, so she went to put on her coat and scarf and was all ready when I got there.

 

Potty Trained!!!

When nani was here visiting, she bought a potty for Esther Frayda. We set it out for her and told her when she needs to go "pee pee" just use the potty. I didn't really focus on it because the plan was to do some research and buy a book this next week to learn how to go about potty training a toddler. Well, lets just say I won't have to do that now:)

Last week she used the potty a few times then yesterday she sat down and went #2 all by herself. I didn't even know until I looked at her and she was pointing to the potty. I went to go look and lo and behold she left a present inside! I could not believe it, I really praised her. I then picked up the potty and Esther Frayda followed me into the bathroom to throw the contents of her potty away. She flushed the toilet herself and waived "bye bye" to her present. She was very proud:)

Since then, I haven't had a diaper on her while at home and she is using her potty every single time! Good job Esther Frayda, mommy is so proud of you!!!

Thank you Grandpa:)

Esther Frayda got a big box in the mail today from Grandpa for her Birthday. The most beautiful dresses I have ever seen! I cannot wait to do a photo shoot with Esther Frayda and her new birthday dresses. She opened up the boxes but was pretty taken by the jogging set, she wanted to put the pants on right away and walked around the house all morning in them. 

Thank you Dad and Janelle for the very beautiful and special clothes. Esther Frayda sends a big hug & kiss. We miss and love you guys!!
