We've Moved

We have recently relocated very far away, to Long Beach :)  We live just a few streets down from the beach and not far from downtown.  The parking is horrendous, there are people on top of people around here and always someone making noise, but we love being so close to the beach and we love our apartment.

Scott is still at home with Penny, and they walk down to the beach most days.  Anyone who wants to come spend a day at the beach with them/us is welcome!  Penny loves going to the beach but is pretty scared of the water.  We are working on it.

Yesterday we spent a few hours down on the sand and were able to get Penny to put her feet in and kick the water.  That night we walked back to the beach to watch the Queen Mary firework show.  I have never seen a kid so scared before!  I don't even know what to do about it because I was not scared of anything as a kid- in this aspect Penny is all Scott.

Penny has also decided she is ready to be 2.  She has more of a mind of her own than ever and is not afraid to let anyone know.  She also is speaking in full sentences and thinking about wanting to potty train.  But again, she has her own mind.  She tells me when she has to go but when I try to put her on the toilet she throws a fit.

I had to share these pictures because they made me laugh.  Penny got herself into this little basket in the middle of moving.

  I took her picture and then she started rocking back and forth.  I told her not to of course, and this is what happened next:

She was not hurt but pretty freaked out.
