A Day of Fun and Relaxation...

Our Sunday began with Mickey Mouse chocolate chip pancakes (my favorite)! My mom used to make them for me when I was a little girl, and now I enjoy making them for Sophia. She loves them just as much as I do, and the evidence of her enjoyment could be found all over her cheeks and chin, lol.

Loving her pancakes!

After a late breakfast, we relaxed together as a family and played with Sophia. Before it was Sophia's nap time, I asked her if she wanted to try to go potty on the toilet. She ran into the bathroom and grabbed her potty chair. After a few minutes she went potty and was so proud that she was yelling "dad" from the bathroom, because she wanted Jeff (who was in the living room)to come see what she had done. She gets to pick a sticker as her reward when she goes potty in the toilet. She's so hilarious because when I tell her to flush, she waves at the water as it flushes, lol. She is doing really well at potty training and we are so proud of her for wanting to try and for being patient with the whole process.

After going potty, we put her down for a nap (she slept for 2 1/2 hours), while Jeff and I enjoyed some time together. Once Sophia woke up, we decided to take a trip to Starbucks for Pumpkin Spice Coffees and then stopped by the craft store, where I picked up a few jewelry supplies. Because the weather was so gorgeous, we spontaneously decided to try a new park by our house and let Sophia run off some energy. The new park was really nice and well kept! Sophia had a lot of fun on the slide, the swings and we also went for a walk around the park on the cement pathway. Unfortunately, my camera battery went dead at the park after only a few pictures, so I don't have any to post from the park. But did get some of Jeff and Sophia together once we got home and I got a new battery.

This melts my heart!

Once we were home, Katie and Kevin came over to give Jeff his birthday present and we were happy that they ended up staying for dinner. We had delicious Thai food from a little place close to our house. We watched football while Sophia played. Sophia LOVES Uncle Kevin and while they were doing a puzzle together, I couldn't help but get a picture.

Soon it was bed time for Sophia and Katie and Kevin had to go home, but we had such a wonderful, relaxing day enjoying the gorgeous Fall weather and spending the day together as a family. I love Sundays!
