Potty Training, Really??

Little Miss Juliana has become extremely interested in trying to use the potty!  Now, she's only "preformed" once (and kind of by accident), but she's had plenty of fun practicing all the same.  Normally, I don't attempt potty training until the child is much closer to 3 yrs old (mostly bc I'm too scatter-brained to try and remember to remind the child to try going potty every 15 minutes).  But, she's been so persistent we may just have to give it the old College Try!

Good reading material is a must-have!

Wish me luck!

T-Ball and a No.2 Success Story!

This summer Emily and I have spent 3 innings each Saturday playing T-ball! ("Mighty Sluggers'" games are only 3 innings long.) Emily is a good little ball player--she was the only girl on her team! I was the coach and even though it took a lot of energy (I have a new respect for all coaches, whether you coach 4 yr olds or 14 yr olds--it's tough!), it was great to see all of the children have such fun! Here are some highlights from our last game today!

Up to bat! (If you look closely, you can see our cheering section in the background!)

Doing some warm ups with the team!

In other big news, Christian did his first poo-poos on the potty today! Cubby noticed that Christian had "That Look" about him this morning and asked if he wanted to go on the potty. Christian said yes and then proceeded to do a No. 2! It was very exciting! (He wasn't consistent though, as he ended up having a dirty diaper 2 hrs later, but...it's a start!) We are all so proud of him! Yeah, Christian!!!
