Oh, the joys of parenthood... and we have bricks!!!

Ellie decided while we were in Andalusia a few weeks back that she wanted to start potty training. Our DR had told us around 18 months not to even think about it until after her 2nd birthday. She started showing interest around 18 months so we purchased a potty. She would sit, but nothing productive. Saturday after Thanksgiving she decided it was time... She asked to potty, and we followed... She finally did it! We are in the very beginning stages and are by no means "potty trained", but we are excited she is ready. She will go when we are at home, but not so interested at school. Our goal is by New Years, so you know where we'll be over the next few weeks! MeMe would be so proud!

Who doesn't have juice and cookies while pottying?


I hope Santa has been watching how much this child loves riding Daddy's "tractor"... This child loves riding toys


House update - we have bricks! Now the slow process of completing the inside and front...
