Goodwill finds

I have not done a goodwill visit in over 6 months and so I decided to drag Audrey there while Celia was at VBS. $15 and I came out with these items. Gap capris, american eagle skirt, coldwater creek blouse, and an old navy sweater. All look new.

Busy

I need to post more about the summer. We have been busy traveling and enjoying family.

Right now I am enjoying time with my girls. Today we took a long walk to visit school, took care of the soon to be 5 year old's out of control hair with a cut, took long naps, and then hung out around the pool. The youngest decided to sit in the center with her clothes on while we were filling it too.


enjoy the pixture of Celia in her winter gear. We had an awful snow storm here yesterday, 90 degree storms are brutal

That time of year again

I may post a more lengthy post about this as each year I post something. In anycase it has been too many years without my Dad. This year I just feel like it is so unfair as he would be having a blast with his grandkids. Not too long ago I had to visit his place of employment to get my FBI fingerprints. I walked the hall to see his hall of fame picture and I was so glad to see it there. He was one in a million.

Heres a pic of your grandkids Dad! The tiny one is the troublemaker.

cuteness

Audrey has been very, very, cute lately. she is saying more and more words. She has also learned abput repeating things to get her point across. Now I am woken up to Mommy, Mommy, Mommy, Mommy, Mommy, Mommy,.... She wanted more fruit today and it was I want more repeated many times. Then of course the melt down when I let her know she was done!

Nope

103 degrees does not fry an egg

is it hot enough?

walks

Audrey falls asleep 80% of the time when I take her for a morning walk. It makes me believe that she really does not need to get up at the time she does, between 5 and 5:30. She does look sweet in the BOB!

Audrey is doing so much better then I thought she would with potty learning. Honestly i never thought I would luck out with two early trainers. I suspect there will be regression with changes but she certainly gets it. She is even not wetting as much during naps and at night, with a few nights in which she has been dry. I appreciate not having to deal with bulky night diapers anymore! It just so happened that the week I pushed the training she had a language explosion. So she now can say I peepy or I go peepy or I poppy ( for either potty or poopy). All of those mean she has to go, not that she has already gone. She does not tell us consistently however enough that I am impressed, she certainly informs me when she has to poop. She says, I poppy, melmo. The translation is I have to go poopy and then I want to watch elmo on the iPad. She is getting away from the potty treats slightly, but she often wants to go so she can have a yogurt raisin or a teddy graham. Our next step is to try to get her to go without the sesame street potty insert!

Celia is also enjoying the potty training as she feels she should get a treat everytime Audrey goes!
