Officially Potty Trained!

Yes, it's true. Ella just turned 2 just 2 weeks ago and she is officially potty trained!!! On Monday, March 23rd we let her wear big girl under ware. She wet her pants about 50 % of the time. Then Tuesday she wet her pants about 20% of the time. On Wednesday she didn't wet her pants AT ALL!!! It has been 1 week and she has not wet her pants once. She stays dry during nap time and she even stays dry at night!!! We've tried to get her to go poop in her potty, but she would still run and hide to go. We bought some Barbie dolls to try and give her a little bribe, oh, I mean incentive. Today she went poop in the potty and we had a celebration! I'm so proud of her and had to say my little 2 year old seems so big.

Here they are!!!

We got our pictures back and I am so excited!!! I have attached a TON of pictures, believe it or not, there are even more!!! We hope you enjoy them.

Police!

Have you ever called the police? Yes, it's true. I just called the police on my noisy neighbors across the street. It is just after 1:30 AM and they are using a leaf blower (and have been for the last 1/2 hour). I just couldn't take the noise anymore! Was I wrong to do this?

Springtime = Fun

It seems like we've been able to do a lot of fun activities lately. Thanks to my amazing and wonderful husband we've had a lot of family time together. John works the graveyard shift so he can be home more. We have all day Monday and Tuesday to do errands and activities. I love you John! Thanks for working so hard so I can be a stay at home mom, I appreciate everything you do.

I must say that I love it when the weather starts to get warm and we can do more activities outside. Going from a house with a yard, to a condo with no room to play has been hard. But my wonderful husband has done everything possible to make it more enjoyable. We have a Hogle Zoo family pass and we have LOVED it! The nice thing about having a pass is that you don't feel like you have to be there all day long. You can go for just an hour or two and leave when it's nap time.

We have a park that is pretty close to our house (Liberty Park) and we couldn't resist the warm weather and spent some time there this week. Ella had so much fun playing on the huge playground and the babies loved being outside in the beautiful weather. There was a huge tree there that Ella thought was so neat (I think that's the biggest tree that she's ever seen).

This is what makes me gush about how wonderful my husband is. I got a little idea that I wanted to have a family pass to Discovery Gateway. I had been there once (only once because it was so expensive) and I thought it was so fun. Now that Ella is a little bit older and can enjoy it I just couldn't get it out of my head to get a family pass. I asked John if we could get it. I thought he would say no, but he said, "sure if that's what you want". So on Friday we went at about 6:30 and stayed for a little over an hour. We had so much fun. It was so fun to see Ella light up with excitement at all of the play areas just her size. We look forward to having many more fun times there. We'll have to hit it up next week, because the weather is supposed to be bad, so we can play at the indoor exhibits.
