Potty Update

Disclaimer: this post is mostly about pee, so if you don't want to read about pee, don't read this post. 

Leah's been a potty rock star! She hasn't had an accident at home since Thursday, and only one on the playground at school (but who wants to stop and pee when you're on the slides?!). I wish she understood how proud I am of her. I think she does a little... She often says, "I so proud of Leah," and while she might not get that they are for doing so well on the potty, she doesn't really care because she got PRINCESS ARIEL pajamas. The best!

These are not Ariel pjs, but Leah's new style of underwear-over-pajama pants-over diaper (for sleeping only!).

Anyways, after a few days of debating whether seemingly painful and hesitation to pee was behavioral or medical, I took Leah to the doctor today. Poor girl has a UTI! I'm sure it's somehow related to potty training, but since she's not having accidents we are sticking with it. Pretty soon she will be as good as new- and still not wearing diapers!

Watching football like a balla in big girl panties!

No More Diapers!

Fever can't stop us! A little bit of Tylenol and let the potty training commence...

First pee after less than 10 minutes on the potty!!

Thank you Dwormans for the perfect potty activity. The picture is cute, but less appropriately aimed than I realized. 

Apples and CHEEEEESE :~)

(Also a really cute, not internet appropriate pic. Boo.)

First pedicure.

And manicure.

A successful first day!

Strip Update

Crazy sad things happening on the strip right now, but I'm not there. Home safe, relaxing and reading in a peppermint bubble bath, in case you are wondering. 

Big girl ponytail! Can't believe her hair is long enough (sorta)!

Big girl electric princess toothbrush. 

Here Comes Santa Claus

Never Again

'Twas fun, but please... Never again!

NINETEEN?! Are you kidding me? That's, like, 16 too many. 

Remember, this doesn't count road trips. 

2016: I hope you are full of family and friends, but not quite so many terminals and baggage claims!

Tonight, Leah got her own water from the refrigerator dispenser. I got a cup down for her baby and next thing I know she is filling it up for water and asking for a straw. 

Later, when we were getting ready to sing night-night songs, Leah tried to turn off her own light like she always does. And, like always, she's about half an inch short. So we asked who was going to help her tonight- Mommy or Daddy? Except tonight, instead of answering ("Daddy", of course), she looked at us, looked around her room, found a book that's about an inch thick, placed it on the floor under the light switch, stepped on it, AND TURNED OFF THE LIGHT. I wish I had a picture of her face right then. Pure joy!

Two going on twenty-five.
