Happy half birthday to our sassy pants! Before having Rilynn we had parenting all figured out. She would be this polite kid and we wouldn't put up with tantrums. Toys would only be in her room and our backyard would have a designated kid area. Well, the polite kid is still a work in progress. She has mastered the tantrum. It could be over anything, not getting an M and M for trying to go pee pee on the potty (she only gets one if she actually goes), she doesn't like her dinner, I tell her we don't have any blueberries... We can be really mean parents. Our no toys outside of her room is a joke. Have you seen our living room? And our backyard looks a little trashy with all of the toys... But those pre parent dreams just seem ridiculous now.
At 18 months...
Rilynn loves- shoes, Minnie Mouse, the Wheels on the bus, climbing, wagon rides, camping, dirt, "booberries", water, and babies
Rilynn does NOT love, having her diaper changed, being tired, chicken, sharing,
Rilynn and her buddy Audrey!
I watch a little guy named Bennett twice a week. Him and Rilynn are pretty cute together.

Weee!
Audrey and Rilynn playing dress up
Potty talk is a big deal at our house these days. I've made up raps about peeing in the potty. What has my life come to?
Art is fun because you get to make a mess

Her and Benno love each other.
First camping trip... I spy Ri Ri
Just relaxing in her dirt pit.
Do you see what I mean about the white trash backyard... At least it's not the front yard!
First ice cream cone.
Pretending to be proper.
Who's this big toddler and where did our baby go?
But sometimes she wishes she was still a baby.
