Choo, Choo! All Aboard!!!

We went for a wonderful train ride last week with Anna. Rachel had not gotten to spent much time with Nana due to Nana & Papa's traveling, so this was an outing she and Mommy were really looking forward to. We took the train from Coopersville to Marne and back again. The inside of the train was decorated in cute fall decor, and the weather matched. It was fun to learn about the history of the train and the cities. We enjoyed Rachel's expressions when she saw new things. What a fun time we had! Choo, Choo!!!

Diaper Cream feels like finger paint, Mommy!

Well, I learned a valuable lesson last week... put the diaper cream WAY up HIGH out of Rachel's reach. Diaper cream can apparently be an extremely fun toy! It is so smooth and creamy... So here's the story. After her nap, Rachel decided to get all the diaper changing items out for me. She is such a big helper. (You'll see the changing pad, diaper and wipes are all on the floor, ready to go.) But the diaper cream was far too tempting... so she rubbed it all over herself and on the carpet, making it one of the worst messes yet to clean up! Before rushing to clean her up, a bath was most definitely in order, I had to grab the camera to capture this!!! I just know my parents are looking at this with huge smiles on their faces, laughing to themselves, thinking that what goes around comes around - as a child I gave them a run for their money, too! I'm certainly getting my share of paybacks! Oh well, these are the fun things to remember, right? She was having so much fun!!!
