The Adventures of Jocelyn

Jocelyn's life is way more entertaining than mine and so here is a post all about Jocelyn and her most recent adventures.
 
Train Museum
We went to the Sacramento Train Museum last week with our friends. Jocey enjoyed parts of it but just wanted to play. Luckily, they have a children's play area upstairs that satisfied her desire.

Hide N Seek
Every day when daddy gets home Jocey does one of two things. She either runs and opens the door to the garage or she hides. Usually her idea of hiding is her putting her hands over her face. Clearly, daddy won't see her. Here is a new hiding spot she recently discovered.

Swimming
Jocelyn loves the water and the last couple of times we have gone to the pool, we have gone to the big pool. Now that she has floaties, she has become way more courageous in the water. She loves swimming by herself. I love it too.

First Haircut
Jocelyn got her first haircut this week. Our friend Miss Jen did it for us. Jocelyn sat on my lap while Jen cut it and she did a fabulous job (both of them). After the cut was finished, Jocey looked in the mirror and cried and cried some more. She didn't like it. Actually, I think it was just the shock of it because a few minutes later she was fine and now she loves it. The rest of us all loved it especially with her curls.  So cute.  But it was sad to see Jocey upset and it's hard to make a 2 year old understand that it will grow back. Here's the before and after shots.

Computer Discovery
Jocey recently discovered our games on the computer but most are too difficult for her. Enter Disney internet games. Jocey loves Disney Junior and they have lots of free games to play.

Bounce U
Today we went to Bounce U. It's a place filled with bounce castles. I thought Jocey would love it. We have been to a trampoline place and she had a blast. So why wouldn't she love this? Well we got there and she instantly covered her ears and cried. It was too loud. The attendant turned down the music multiple times but it turned out it was all the air pumps blowing air into the bounce places. We only had an hour and a half to play so I was frustrated. She pretty much clung to me the whole time. We moved to a second room full of toys and she calmed down a little more and then when her friend's daddy got there, Jocelyn finally left my side. That was with only 20 minutes left. I guess she needed the strong daddy figure to help. Oh well at least she played and next time hopefully she'll play right away.
