Sorry, I've been MIA for awhile. I've been trying to get a new website up and running and have realized that I am not a web designer LOL. Right now my manymanyscents URL forwards you to my ecrater site, so at least I have something up right now while I'm working on the new site.

I made homemade ice cream a couple of nights ago-- it was delicious! Here's the recipe (the chocolate ice cream base recipe is from my Ben & Jerry's ice cream book, but the mix-ins were my own idea):

S'mores Ice Cream

4 oz unsweetened chocolate
1 cup milk
2 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 cup heavy or whipping cream
1 tsp vanilla
A pinch of salt
(above is Ben & Jerry's recipe)
1 ½ cups chocolate-covered graham cracker cookies, broken into pieces
1 cup marshmallow creme

Melt the chocolate in a double boiler. When it is melted, slowly stir in the milk. Take off heat and set aside to cool. In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs about 1-2 minutes, or until fluffy. Slowly add the sugar, mixing well. Then stir in the cream, vanilla, salt, and the chocolate mixture. Cover and refrigerate for 1-3 hours, or until cold. Pour into ice cream maker and make the ice cream according to your ice cream maker's instructions. During the last couple of minutes it is running, dump in the cookies. When the ice cream is finished, stir in the marshmallow creme by hand so that it is swirled, not completely mixed. If the ice cream is soft (which mine always is), put in the freezer overnight. Enjoy!

You can't make me!

So we've been doing the potty training thing and we've actually gotten our 2-year-old to go pee pee in the potty (as Elmo says) a few times. I'm not sure if we just have had good timing or what, but the M&Ms are definitely helping! Although the past couple of days she has decided that when she doesn't want to sit on the potty she will refuse the M&Ms. It's funny because she sits there, but when we hand M&M's to her she will put them back into the container. It's like she's saying "You can make me sit here, but you can't make me enjoy it!"

We also got her a big girl bed a couple of days ago. She loves playing on it with her stuffed animals when it's not bedtime, but she has had a bit of trouble going to sleep in it. She'll lie down quietly until we leave the room, and then she won't stop yelling for us every few minutes until she's fallen asleep an hour or two later. I hope she gets used to her new bed soon. Luckily she hasn't figured out that she can get out of it herself yet LOL.

Potty Training

What a huge difference M&Ms make! A couple of days ago our lil one would cry if we had her sit on the potty. Now that we give her M&Ms while she's sitting there she acts like she's been doing it forever! We started using the letter treat (that's what we call it when she's around, since you can't really spell it out LOL) two days ago and already this morning she peed in the potty (I think it was lucky timing, but STILL...as Elmo says she put her pee pee in the potty!), and then this afternoon she pooped in the potty (actually she had a poopy pull-up and I think there was still a piece stuck to her butt that fell into the potty when she sat down, but STILL...it somewhat counts!). Our baby is growing up! *sniff*

Funny Things My 2-Year-Old Says

This morning my lil one looked toward the window where the sun was pouring in and got this big smile on her face. She said "Bubbles! Pop pop pop pop..." She kept poking her finger into the air when she said "pop". It took me a minute, but I finally figured out that she was talking about the dust floating around in the air.

She also has her own pronunciations for a lot of things:

boogum = cookie
meenaw = banana
mana = color(ing)
uh = drink (that came about because she lets out a satisfied "ah" with her breath after she drinks. She decided to add her voice to it to make it a word.

I'm just amazed every day with all the new stuff she learns and does. I feel like I didn't really have a purpose in my life until she was born. She is my sun and moon.
