A Plethra of Events!

I'm sure Linnea will love us for this when she is older. But we captured the second time she went potty on her big girl potty on camera. The first time was months ago...before she was even two. Total fluke. This time was sort of more attempted. She has been sitting down at daycare with every diaper change so we thought we better try it at home too. She knows when there is something in her diaper so we know she is getting close to being ready to take the plunge into potty training. We now have a potty chair in the living room and the bathroom upstairs. We should have worked harder at it this past weekend because she was into it and we didn't have much plans and now she is sick so the training will have to wait a little longer. The daycare provider who is with her more than we are thinks that is just fine. She may not be quite ready yet and you don't want to start too soon or it will take longer than it needs to. Anyways...she did have success once last weekend and there was lots of clapping and some m & m's! wahoo! Grandma and Grandpa just happened to be on the phone at the same time so they heard the excitement too. She then insisted on wearing underwear. I had one pair so we put them on and she ate dinner in them and then when we played we all of a sudden saw a funny face on Linnea and then heard uh-oh and she had wet pants. Then she had tears. Oh well. We will get there and it's bound to happen with many wet pants, undies and floors. But also lots of M & M's and/or stickers. We will see what works for us! Here's our lil pee-er!

Why not play pantsless for a lil while? Boxes are the best.

Help Daddy, please!

Chris and Linnea went shopping Saturday morning and bought the new potty chair, a big ball and a cool kitty keyboard.

And I found this fun alphabet online a few weeks ago and finally got around to putting up! so now Linnea has an ABC wall. I need to get different sticky stuff to put it on with tho...we have many letters on the floor.

We also found time Sunday to take Linnea to the Rosedale Mall where they have a train that people can ride around the main floor on. We have been meaning to do this for a while so we are glad we finally had a weekend of no plans to have another family date. There is also a nice indoor play area that Linnea enjoyed before the ride.

Linnea and I got together Sunday afternoon with our new parent connection group again. I can't believe all the munchkins are two and many either have a lil sibling or one on the way!
