Here's what's happening in our neck of the woods

We enrolled Abigail in a gym class at The Little Gym. Last night was her 1st night. She lOves it. It was so fun to watch her run all over, do rolls, flips on the bars, back handsprings (on a round mat of course), etc. She was one of the oldest in the class. Actually I think there may have been only 1 kid who was older. So that was kind of a bummer. She would have her turn and then would have to wait for all the smaller kids to go. She would say "Mommy can't I do something else?" I just laughed. She saw the bigger girls come out of the dance studio and said "I wanna go in there and dance." So we are going to sign her up for dance at the end of the gym session.

A few months ago we signed Abbey up for a 2 day a week preschool class that will begin in September. One of the requirements of the school is that all 3yr olds must be potty trained. I knew I was going to have to cross this bridge eventually. We tried a few times to let her do it. She would use the potty when she wanted but never if anyone else suggested it. I've been freaking out recently about just getting it done. I don't like things looming over my head. So Tuesday morning I decided I wasn't going to say anything to her about using the potty but I was going to let her run around naked all day. And what do you know, everytime she needed to go she went by herself. I never said a word. We are now on day 3 and we have had no accidents. Tomorrow we are going to Build-a-Bear if she stays dry for the next 2 days. YAY!

Besides making sure my #1 doesn't pee all over the carpet. I'm busy planning for our late summer trip to OBX. This cold weather has got me down in the dumps. So I'm dreaming of our fun family vacation in late August.



Our little guy is just running around getting into things and being really cute. I love him.

That's all that's going on in this neck of the woods, what's happening in your neck of the woods?

We went to a true southern bar-be-que this weekend with 5 different kinds of meat in a smoker! Now that's excitement :)
