Funny!

I thought this was too funny...about the way I am feeling this week!

Potty training note

Just a quick note about Sarah's potty training progress- she is almost there! We began to put her exclusively in big-girl panties last monday 10/19 at Gloria's during the day. We are taking her to use the bathroom about every hour.

At first, she did pretty good with only a few accidents. Then, she started to just pee in her pants again. But by the end of the week she was using the potty pretty well, and she did the same over the weekend (although we did put her in some pull-ups and not panties).

She is using the potty to go pee pee consistently now. She hasn't had an accident yet this week, at home or at Gloria's. Last night she even ran to use the potty without me taking her (and she actually peed, too).

Hooray for Sarah! It only took you a little over a week to learn to use the potty to pee pee! NOW, if we could just get you to use the potty for poo-poo...(this is another story entirely)...but we're working on it! We're still very proud of you, big girl!

Fall Fun

The last weekend in September we planned an outing with my sister and her family, some friends of theirs, and grandma to visit Burt's Pumpkin Patch and Hillcrest Apple Orchards. It rained all day, but we still had fun! Sarah picked out a medium orange pie pumpkin and a tiny white pumpkin. She enjoyed some running around picking up pumpkins and playing in the wheelbarrow.

At the orchards, we planned to pick apples, but the rain was so bad we ended up cutting the outing short and heading back. Good thing, too, Sarah was exhausted after playing with her cousins all afternoon! She even got to milk a dairy cow and sit on another cow at the orchards!

Sarah completely sacked out, with her half eaten apple in her hands on the way back from the trip. She didn't even last 10 minutes once in the car before she dozed off.
