Just a Little Update

Well... We made it home from MI this past weekend.  We had a great time visiting Grammy and Gramps but I think 5 weeks away from hubby/daddy is a bit much!  (Daddy was so great to let us stay that long - we sure did miss him!)

Yesterday we took a visit to Taylor's new school, come this fall.  I can't believe that she's old enough to go to preschool!  (in fact, in just two short years, she'll be in Kindergarden!!)  Yikes... that makes me feel old!  :-)  She loved it and is so excited to go.  I informed her that at school, she'll have to wear big girl undies and use the potty - that got her excited to potty train and she actually used the big girl potty all morning (until the novelty wore off and we reverted back to our old ways).  This did encourage me that its just a matter of her will to go and that she does understand the concept... now if I could only convince her to make it a full-time habit.  (That seems to be the hard part!)

This morning we had a good laugh!  I had fixed Taylor some oatmeal for breakfast and we were standing in the kitchen when she comes in and asks, very seriously, for a "maxi-pad" to hold her oatmeal with... because it was hot.  After a moment of confusion, I figured out she was asking for a hot pad holder... I gave her one and she happily trotted off to eat her breakfast - Eric and I had quite a laugh!
