Boys have tails!
Apparently they do co-ed potty breaks at Saige's preschool. We learned this after she stood in front of the potty and said "boys go pee-pee like this" while giving us a demonstration. Then, she announced that "boys have tails!"
That's right Saige, keep thinking that.... boys have tails.

First Broken Bone!
While playing at the park, Saige fell and broke her collar bone! While breaking a bone is never fun, we have to say this hasn't been that big of a deal?!? Saige cried for a few minutes after her fall, then got up and started smiling, playing and laughing again. After a few hours of continuing to wince and say "Oww-eee!" we decided to get her checked out. At the hospital we thought for sure we were wasting our time, as we watched her run, draw on a whiteboard and point at the fish in a tank. But then, low and behold, the doctor told us she'd broken her clavicle all the way through. Since being home she slept through the night and continues to be happy, happy, happy! All we can say is, she is one TOUGH kid!

My Mommy is Cute!
Saige's favorite thing to tell everyone she meets? "My Mommy is Cute." Silly girl!

2 1/2 and full of life!
Our little Saige isn't so little anymore! There isn't a drop of baby left in her now - she's 100% kid! Potty trained, talking in sentences, going to preschool..... she's a kid!
So, before describing how smart Saige is, let me state that it's not just ME being her mom and thinking she's so smart. We hear every day from people who meet her (teachers at her preschool, friends and babysitters) that she is SMART. Not only is she very verbal, but she has a comprehension of the world that is astounding. At 2 1/2 years old, here a few of the things she knows:
- The entire alphabet, including words that start with various letters.
- How to spell her name.
- How to negotiate. Meaning if you give her one piece of candy, she'll ask for two. Give her two and she'll ask for three. Give her three...... you get my drift.
- The names of EVERYTHING. From cement trucks to the Space Needle to xylophones, she knows it all.
- Saige also knows her birth date, last name and the city she lives in.
A few recent quotes of Saige's:
- After she lets a loud fart, Mom asked "What do you say?" Saige replies "Thank you Fart!
- After seeing our friend Annie at 9 months pregnant, Saige proclaims "Annie can't fit in an elevator!" Then, a few weeks later, after she'd had the baby Saige said "Annie can fit in an elevator now!"
- When asked what her favorite candy is she replied "Saige's!"
Saige now has nicknames for everyone. Mommy is also known as "Mom-ya" or "Mommy-Pod" and Daddy is known as "Dad-ya" or "Daddy-Pod." Tica is "TicaBell" and Love Bug is "Lubby."
We're mercifully past the mommy-only phase. Saige is now equally content to spend time with her daddy and showers him with hugs and kisses. She also insists he gets her out of bed in the morning (mommy's favorite). She now also sees Daddy as her "protector" and wants him when she's scared or had a bad dream.
All in all, we're doing great! Cruising into childhood at mock speed and loving every second of it!

KAUAI!
We spent a week on the beautiful island of Kauai! Saige loved the beach and the waterslide at the hotel. It was a fun, relaxing, and an all around great family vacation!

Potty Time!
While Saige isn't quite 100% there yet, she's darn close! Shortly after she turned two she made it clear she was done with diapers! Just in the last few weeks it's all clicked and she's been using the potty fairly consistently. We're so proud of our girl!

July 4th in Mt. Shasta
We had a great time visiting Grandma Julie and Uncle Jeff in Mt. Shasta! Celebrating the 4th of July festivities with Saige made it even that much more fun! She LOVED the parade and The Walk!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SAIGE!
TWO, two, 2! Our girl is 2! How did this happen? One minute she's a tiny baby and the next she's a walking, talking, personality filled kid!
Saige is all about birthday parties! Balloons, presents, party hats.... she loves it all! So of course she was in heaven on her day! We threw her a classic party in the backyard with lots of great friends and family in attendance.
So to gloat a for moment.... Saige is doing great. She's still big - 32 pounds and almost 3 feet tall. This puts her in the 80th percentile for height and 90th for weight. And my-oh-my is she talking! She's putting short sentences together and able to say just about any word - from lemonade to xylophone she can say it! In the last week or so she's transitioned to referring to herself in the first person ("I" or "me") instead of always referring to herself as "Saigie." She's a tough kid, with an amazing pain threshold - she'll take some amazing tumbles and pop right back up with a smile on her face. We've had to put her in a few timeouts as she's began to experiment with with the level of disobedience Mommy and Daddy will let her get away with.
Everyday we are flabbergasted by how smart she is. For only being on this earth for two years it's amazing how fast a little tyke can learn! Saige can now count to 14 (minus 11), sing the alphabet song and identify almost all the letters of the alphabet. She knows all her colors, shapes and every animal on the planet.
All in all life with Saige is easier than ever.... she sleeps great, eats anything, doesn't put every random thing in her mouth anymore and doesn't need to be watched every second for fear of her tumbling off something. She is the apple of her daddy's eye and the heart of her mama. We adore her!

Orcas Island Trip
We went on a great family vacation to one of our favorite places, Orcas Island. Saige went on her first ferry and boat ride, Clif caught some fish, and we all got some much needed R&R.
