we had a great sunday! after the gym, we played out on the deck and had lunch. after nap, malloy and i made pizzelles! this time we made strawberry and almond. yum! when rex woke up, we went to the playground and met up with some of malloy's classmates, niko and ben. she knew that ben was going to be there, but was happily surprised to see niko, too! ben brought his dog to the park - he's a big golden retriever!! rex was so excited to pet the dog!! he wasn't scared at all. he was patting his head and poking his ear. he was loving the playground today! while he was climbing, he was saying "good job! good job!" over and over again. he's so damn cute!
tonight is night 2 of going to bed without yelling, screaming, crying, procrastinating, etc. HOORAY! the only thing we've done differently is give her a "special treat" if she goes to bed like a good girl. she gets a fruit slice. it's super special to her apparently!!

coloring! (surprise!!) rex colors at least 3 times a day. he can fill a whole coloring book in 10 minutes! when he colors, he means business!

jump roping!

ben showed malloy his technique

and then coached her
