Your Utah friend, and potty training.

A couple of weeks ago, we had some friends visit from Utah.  It's been about a year since you've seen each other, but you kind of seemed to remember and you had tons of fun.

***************************************
Two weeks ago we started potty training.  Mostly because you were out of diapers in your room.  But it must have been the right time because once we got over the first three days, (day one, one accident, day two, two accidents, day three, three accidents) you've been doing awesome.  Only two accidents since then.  You didn't need many reminders, incentives, or rewards.  You just do it.  You like praise, so letting you know how proud I am of how well you're doing seems to be enough for you.  And I really am proud of you!  Let's just hope a week long visit from Mimi and Papa and then a week long vacation two weeks after that doesn't shake us up too much!

Playing catch up for July...

In no particular order...

We've gone to the beach a lot this summer.  The amount of joy that the sand and the ocean bring to you make all the sandy car seats, carpets, beds, bathtubs, sandwiches and shoes, worth it.

Playdate with Mathia.

 You climbed to the top of this really big slide and you wouldn't answer when I called for you.  It scared me for a second until you came squealing down.

 I took you to the doctor because you had a lingering cough.  The doc thinks you have seasonal allergies.  The medication we've giving you has helped a lot.

 Breakfast with dad.

 Night time cookie makin'.

 Sometimes you chow down on vegis, sometimes you don't.  This was a night that you chewed and chewed and wouldn't swallow.  We made you stay at the table till you swallowed it, and Addie was your entertainment.  It took you about 20 minutes.
