Pee Pee in the Potty!!!

The title of the post says it all . . . our big girl went pee pee in the potty tonight!!!!!!!!!! She is totally ready for potty training but has been incredibly stubborn. Well, tonight she was in her big girl panties for our walk / bike ride around the neighborhood and she stayed completely dry. Right before her bath, we put her on the potty and she instantly went! We made a very big deal, which she thought was great and she got three M-n-Ms ~ she could not stop smiling and informed us that she was going to do it again in the morning ~ hooray!!! She was so excited that she had to call her grandparents to tell them the good news ;-) We're really hoping that this is just the beginning!

We had a great weekend enjoying the warm (okay, HOT!!!) sunny weather. Alli ran through the sprinkler and Eli did his best to stay cool by hanging out in diapers ;-)



After church today, we took the kids over to Garrett's grandparents' house. Here is my favorite shot of Eli with Great Pop (as Alli calls him). It was really cute, Pop wanted Alli to come over to him for snuggles and she decides to say "how about baby brother sit there" (meaning Pop's lap). Guess she has decided Eli is pretty good to have around! She is still pretty impressed with her baby brother but told me this weekend that she has "a tough time sharing Mommy." I was so proud of her for expressing her feelings with words!
In other news, I am feeling sooooooooo much better! The second set of antibiotics did the trick ~ woo hoo!
