Pottytime



Journaling reads: When you first started potty training, it was a challenge to just get you to sit still for a second to let anything happen. Diapers were definitely an inconvenience for you but so was taking time to sit on a toilet. So, I started letting you look at my magazines. Of course, they were very appropriate for your age group. Most of them were US Weekly’s. There were a few scrapbook magazines but mostly just the SMUT. We would laugh at you looking at them as if you were actually reading. You looked at the pictures and I would try to tell you what was happening, although trying to explain the Britney Spears trainwreck was difficult. One of your favorite magazines was one that had a cartoon on the back with people eating McDonald’s hamburgers on it. You would say over and over, “Dinner at the table!” So cute, you were. We are still trying to teach you to go potty and you are doing great...when you want to. I know it won’t be long before you get the hang of it...hopefully, before you start REALLY reading this stuff."

I was going to DECLARE Emma potty trained yesterday. She was on a roll. But, I am learning that this is more of a fluid process. :)

I am finally around to taking more videos of the kids. Check this one out. Emma is drawing sidewalk chalk and decides to lay down and examine her work very carefully.

More pictures to come...

But, this is my desktop now. :)

My Hero...

It was so funny one day...you were sitting there with Trey playing beside you in his jumperoo. You were playing with your beaded necklaces. I don’t know how you knew to do this. But, you went over to Trey, placed one of your necklaces around his neck and said, “My Hero!” I couldn’t believe my ears! What a profound statement coming from a two and a half year old girl! I told your Dad and I think he was maybe just a wincy-bit jealous. That’s ok, though, because we know where Trey got his hero-gene after all! I think Trey will be your hero for many years to come. I know he will watch out after you, as he already does now. There is nothing that you do that his eyes are not focused on watching you. Although he can’t say it, you are probably his hero now. I am thankful to have yet another set of eyes focused on my girl and so proud to have a son who is worthy of hero recognition!
