Dear Claire,
Thank you so much for that cute lip gloss color. I really liked the pink when you sent it to me. Today Danielle found it and my mascara at the same time. Funny thing- mascara wands fit right into a lip gloss container. The resulting color is really...different. It's like a grey-purple-pink. Maybe it would look better on Mom.
I think I'll send it to her.
Thanks again!

I am pretty excited about Danielle being potty trained. I am not excited about having to potty train her myself. The blog momfessions is having a diaper carnival and you are supposed to link a post on your blog about diapers. Well I like pampers diapers. Danielle has sensitive skin and other diapers used to give her really bad rashes. Now she wears huggies overnights at night which I think is a pretty neat idea.
I wanted to want to cloth diaper my baby when she was born. The same time I was having a baby (well around the same time) Jen's neighbor was having a baby and she planned to cloth diaper. I was happy when she didn't do it the first few weeks, but then she switched over. Jen was a little grossed out since they shared a washer and dryer. When Danielle had to become a free range baby because her skin was allergic to diapers for a while I thought about cloth diapering. But I didn't do it. If I was a better person I would- or if any commercial laundry service had advertised in my area.
Just last week Danielle got excited about her diapers and said "elmo" and pointed to his picture on her diaper. Does this mean it is time for her to stop wearing diapers (seriously I am planning to start really potty training when she turns two in April) and learn that you can do more on the potty than just sit there? I hope so.
Here is a video of Danielle. Make sure to turn the sound on, because the fireworks scene isn't very good to watch but you can hear Danielle making excited noises. A lot of her fun moments involve hugging strangers in furry suits. You'll get the idea.
Well after about 30 hours of driving (what were we thinking!) we finally had our first day at Disney. Danielle loved it so much.
ow before we get our prize.
Danielle Loves cupcakes. Every time she sees them she says "cup= cake" in her baby equivalent speech. The other day we were cleaning out her closet and she found her birthday decorations from last year. She was so excited about the Strawberry shortcake cupcake toppings that she wouldn't let me put them back. How long do those phony toppings stay good? They weren't past date and she is two in April. I asked Danielle if she wanted to make cupcakes with me. Of course the answer was yes- or rather nah which means yes. (not be confused with No)
Danielle was so excited but we only had Christmas cupcakes in the house. And green frosting with funfetti. I have cookie decorating for a small army but I was out of strawberry shortcake colored cake. And with February approaching it really is time to take down all the Christmas decorations (hint hint neighbors) and eat the last of the Christmas cupcakes. I turned the oven light on and Danielle sat by the oven. She pulled up a step stool so she could see it better.
Danielle loves cupcakes. It all started when she was one and we foolishly gave her a cake on her birthday. She knows how to say cupcake. I have no idea where she learned this work- I am hoping it was from me on the fated closet cleaning day but I suspect it was from a child. That is where she learned all her words. She learned apple from Isaac the first time he said it. Then we had to teach her that all food wasn't called apple. 
The other day she started saying "what the heck?" and holding up her arms. It is hilarious. I thought maybe it was from her parents until John pointed out that he cousins Fisher and Sam say what they heck- they were visiting us.
and lastly Killian taught her how to say hot dog.
Maybe, just maybe, the cupcake is mine.
