Riley was, at first, excited about her dentist appointment. She became a little nervous when they called her in the office to see the dentist. She was such a great little girl. They actually had Dora movies playing for each chair. Hmm, I don't remember kid's movies playing when I was young and went to the dentist. Riley got a teeth cleaning. They taught her how to floss. Unfortuantely, the dentist said there was a concern with Riley and that is she has an underbite. You know, now that the dentist has said that, Jason and I have realized that, indeed, she does. After having jaw surgery myself and so many problems with my jaw, I can't believe I didn't notice that! The dentist said that there is nothing that can be done about this until she is approximately 6 years old, as that's the youngest that an orthodontist will see a child. Poor girl. Anyway, at the end of the appointment she got to go pick a toy out from "The Tower of Toys." Boy, was that exciting for her. I think she will very much be looking forward to going back to the dentist. What toy did she pick out? A ball, of course. I guess the ten she has at home just aren't enough!! 
You never know what Riley might be dressed up as. She "loves" make-believe. She is always pretending to be anything from a princess to the big bad wolf! 
Riley loves this drink. She asks for it all the time. It has blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, bananas, yogurt and milk in it. She will always ask me if she can have her "special drink."
Riley got her first black eye at 2-years old! We were at a friends house and the bad mommies and daddies were playing Guitar Hero. Riley ran into the guitar that our friend was playing. Her eye instantly went through many colors, shapes, before ending in a nice shade of black and very puffy. I have to say this was a very hard time for mommy also, to see her little girl with a black eye. I actually wanted to cry right along with her. Riley was tough, as always, and was ready to go play not too long after the incident. She was very proud of her black eye. She went very proudly to daycare and told everyone about it.... several times!
There are no words that can say how much Riley loves her kitty, Chloe. Look at this haircut, in the second picture, of Chloe. We took Chloe to the groomer and Riley cried forever when we left. She didn't understand why Chloe would have to stay there, why we would be leaving her there. She kept asking us all day when we could go pick her up. When we picked her up, Riley cried again saying that they had "shrunk" her. (Chloe had been shaven.) She still talks about the fact that her kitty "got shrunk in the dryer." Riley loves to feed her kitty, pet her, cover her up in blankets, and absolutely harrass her beyond belief. However, Choe is a real trooper and tolerates it and is even starting to enjoy some of this "attention." 
Riley had a great birthday party. We went to the children's museum and then had a birthday party at home after her nap. This year, instead of getting stuck on one gift, she was ready to move on to the next present as soon as she opened it. "Okay, what's next?" No happy medium here. So next weekend it will be a Cinderella birthday part, then Easter....

Here is Riley's toddler bed! She did very well with the conversion and is enjoying her new setup. 
Riley "loves" to paint. Her Mawga and Papa got this easel for her, and she absolutely loves it.

The children's museum near where we lives holds periodic evening pajama parties. Riley and her friend, Lauren, had a great time. The first pic is the girls on a stage doing a little show. Second pic is Riley doing some grocery shopping - in her P.J.'s, and third pic is a water area. This museum is pretty amazing and the girls were plenty entertained! ( For Poppy and GG, this is where we spent her 1st birthday.

This was Riley's "Super Beasts" gymnastic's class graduation. She will be starting classes all by herself on March 15th. Very hard to believe for Mommy! She really enjoyed this class and has a great teacher, Teacher Natalie. Another favorite part of gymnastics for Riley is going to the pet store before or after her gymnastics class, which is in the same complex. Riley and I have even been a little late to gymnastics due to a cute puppy or kitten! Riley loves animals and asks us all the time if she can have a puppy. 
Just look at all the snow in Seattle! Jason had to go to work this day, but Riley and I stayed home and enjoyed the snow! Do you see the hat that she's wearing? Riley "loves" superheroes, especially Wonder Woman. However, Superman is very high on the list also (or Supergirl!). She loves wearing this hat.
