A Princess with a song in her heart

Princess Uma's birthday was today and she is now 3 and oh how the time is flying by.  Just over the weekend she seemed to mature, it's like she knew she needed to act like a three year old not a two year old.

To celebrate her birthday Uma and I took a girls only weekend to Disneyland.  We had a wonderful time and on our trip Uma composed two new songs.

Song #1 sang in line at Disneyland waiting to get on Alice in Wonderland ride.  Please keep in mind she is in full Princess gear while singing this little ditty.

"I hate MY OATMEAL, I hate MY OATMEAL, I HATE MY oatmeal, I HATE MY OATMEAL"

(Now I know she didn't really like the breakfast I made that morning.)

Song #2 sang on the way home from Disneyland somewhere on I15 between Barstow and Vegas

"Uke I am your father.  Luke I am your father.  I am Dark Gator.  I am Dark Gator."

Oobie and all her DLand crap!

Someday she will get married

So Uma and I love Pinterest (yes Uma does too).  And today we saw a post about taking a picture of your little girl in your wedding dress and then displaying the photo at her wedding when she is grown.  I loved the idea and got my dress out of the back of the closet. 

Uma and I had great fun with this project.

Someday the dress will fit.



Pancakes

So Uma loves pancakes and some days she only wants to eat pancakes.  She loves all types including plain pancakes, nana-cakes, nutty-cakes, and pb-cakes.

So Friday, Uma and I were home alone (brothers at school) and Daddy was out and about.  I was working in the office but was trying to keep up with some of Uma's demands.  I had already made her nutty-nana-cakes (that's bananas and peanut butter) with whip cream before lunch and it was now about 2pm.

From the kitchen I hear the cupboards open and closing...

Uma yells "Mommy!  Come make me pancakes!"
Me (yelling from the office)  "I already made you pancakes today, I'm not making anymore."
Uma yells " Fine!  I'll make them myself."
Me (still yelling from office) "You don't know how to make pancakes."
A moment of silence
Uma "Then you make them."

Uma wants to surf

Uma: " When we go to Hawaii, I want to surf.  Surf like Bethany."  (Bethany Hamilton, Soul Surfer)
Me:  "Ok"
Uma:  "I want to surf"

Conversation had tonight in Don Pedro's Bathroom, Heber City Utah while Uma was pooping. 

A sad day for Uma

Uma lost a good friend today, her kitty cat, Mitzi.  Mitzi was accidentally ran over today and will be greatly missed by Uma.  Here is her favorite picture of her and her kitty taking a nap this summer after a long day of swimming and playing by the pool.



I want...

Uma:  "Mom I want, I want, a..ummm. Princess surfboard."
Me: "OK"
Uma: "I want a Princess surfboard, in Hawaii.  Go get it."
Me: "OK"

Sometimes she just keeps talking

I would love to post all the cute fun things Uma has said today but there has been so many!  This kid has talked for hours and at this point I fear she will never shut up.  If I do not respond to her 1 million questions she yells "Mom talk!" 

Some of her adorable toddler behavior today has included showing me how a girl dances to "mon -i-qroll"  also known as rock-n-roll.  Just imagine Uma at the dinner table, standing on her chair, and swinging her hips like she is Elvis.  And she has declared her stuffed pink bunny and green duck to now be parents of her hello kitty doll. 

And when she is not talking she is either wanting to play exercise or skateboard (pics below).  All done mostly in the nude as my little Uma is a free spirit and I guess clothes (especially shirts) inhibit her craft in some way.

Uma doing Insanity Plyo.  Yes! she does Insanity.

Uma taking a break so she can talk to me about her workout and her workout pants (she loves her new workout pants.)

Uma's puppy giving her some encouragement during her workout.

Uma and her skateboard.  BTW She also has a new love for pigtails which she says is because pigtails remind her of Mickey Mouse ears, rabbit ears, and puppy dog ears.  Again, all things she loves.

And she is a poser.  But many of you already knew that.  Must get that from her Daddy.
