Not a baby anymore....

We have been working up to this day. At school, Kayla is the last one in her class to still wear diapers and they have been working with Kayla. It has been no rush on my part. I figured when Kayla is ready, she will let me know. Well, I woke up Tuesday morning with the intention of having Kayla try and wear her panties to school. However, Kayla insisted on wearing a diaper. So she wore a diaper and I packed several change of clothes and some special panties. After dropping Kayla off at school, Kayla's teacher, Miss Lori, got Kayla so excited about her "Tinkerbell" panties and the three M&M's that she would get (this is the treat each kid gets after going potty). She got Kayla to put the panties on and go the restroom on the potty. As I watched through the window with tears in my eyes, I could see both Kayla and Miss Lori jumping around in excitement. To my amazement, Kayla kept her panties dry all day. No more diapers (except at night). Each time Kayla ask to go potty, she reminds me of her M&M's. I wonder if she sometimes ask to sit on the potty just so she can get some M&Ms. I try to give her just one M&M, but she knows that she gets three each time she goes to the restroom.

Happy Birthday Dad

This weekend we celebrated my dad's 65th birthday in Rockport, Texas. It was nice to get together with everyone for such a special occasion. Kayla really enjoyed playing with her cousins and fishing with her Daddy. At the end of the trip, we all passed out from exhaustion.

Brave Woman!

Monday, I sacrificed my home for Messy Day. Most people would probably think I am insane to host an event that focused on 10 toddlers getting messy. Yes, 10 toddlers with shaving cream, face painting, icing and spray paint. What was I thinking....actually it was not so bad. Kayla had a really good time and my house stayed clean (to my suprise).

Fire Safety Week

Today, we went to the local Fire Station with some of Kayla's friends. Kayla enjoyed climbing up into the trucks and sitting in the driver's chair. She found surgical gloves in one of the trucks and had to try them on.

Mommy's Little Boy

Christian is 4 months. Wow!!! We went to his four month wellness checkup last week. Christian weighed in at 16 lbs 14 oz and 25 inches in length. I can't believe he is growing so much. The doctor said I could start him on rice cereal. I was sad but happy at the same time. I want to keep him at this age and not let him grow any more but at the same time maybe I can get out of the house by myself for more then three hours at a time.
