Our first "potta" experience...

was a success! It may have been a fluke, but I'll take it!

I've had this potty for a while now and Lucy has attempted to play with it a few times so it went back into the closet. So the other day we started reading "Elmo goes to the potty" and I figured I'd bring it out. She sat on it "with clothes on" a few times and this morning - once we woke up (thank goodness we are back to almost 7am now!) I put her on it, and and started reading a book - and BAM she did it! She also continued to say "potta, potta, potta about a million times." Haha.

We'll see how this continues, but regardless, it reminds me that someday there will be a day with no diapers :) I'm sure she'll kill me for these pictures someday...but I think they are so cute! The last one just cracks me up - lil Miss Modest! :)






The Christmas countdown is on! I think we just may make it! Although if we have to go see Santa again - we might not! :)

A little under the weather...

So I thought being sick over Thanksgiving weekend would mean we had a few weeks off...but nevertheless I was wrong! Lucy got sick at the beginning of the week and I followed a day later - and Marcus is currently upstairs saying he doesn't feel good, but it could be he just wants to watch his shows upstairs in bed. :) Regardless, it was only a 12 hour thing but it was not fun! Here's to hoping we are done with illness for a while - at the very least - let's get through Christmas!

We are getting in Christmas mode! The Christmas tree is up and has only been pulled down by Lucy once (only one ornament broke thankfully), I'm hoping lights are going up this weekend (but if Marcus is sick this may mean I have to do it), and Lucy is loving playing with her little people nativity that her Nana gave her. Didn't ya know camels go on TOP of the stable and Jesus rode in on a train! :)
