Well bedtime may still be unsuccessful, potty training is going well. Addie goes poo and pee on the potty a few times a day. Just like with Sophie we just do it when it is convenient for us and her. On Sunday she stayed dry during her nap and went potty when she woke up. Such a big girl!
Well night one in the big girl bed did not go well. After a lot of crying and not staying in bed, she ended up being put in head pack n play, which she can't climb out of YET. Then she woke up at 3am and talked her way into bed with us.
Here's hoping that tonight goes better. She at least is pretending to lay in her bed this time. We will see.
On Saturday it happened, Addie climbed out of her crib. We had put the girls down to bed and Sophie kept getting up, which was keeping Addie awake. Sophie left their room and closed the door. A few minutes later we heard the doorknob jiggling. She must have gotten out ok because we didn't hear any thump when she got out.
As we were discussing it Sophie said, oh man, I should have stayed in there to see how she did it. She seemed really bummed that she missed it.
We were busy doing other things this weekend and haven't gotten around to changing her bed to a toddler bed, but I plan to tomorrow. On the same day, our neighbor's daughter climbed out of her crib and broke her arm! So sad...I don't want Addie to be next.
Today Mike and I have been married for nine years. For those older then us, we are starting to understand what you mean when you say the time flies by. For those younger then us, listen when someone says the time flies. Mike and I have taken time lately to reflect on our past and plan for now and the future. Here is to many more years together and really LIVING our lives together with our beautiful family. Love you babe.
It was so warm tonight out trick or treating. No jackets needed and it a good thing too because these girls looked so cute.
The first couple houses Addie didn't get the idea of it. She wanted to keep going back to the same house. After the third house she figured it out and was on a roll. She was even trying to shut people's door for them after they gave her the candy.
We live in such a great neighborhood and had a blast seeing everyone and joining the little driveway parties along the way.
Love you cuties. Thanks for a great night together.
Some time ago Addie learned to blow her nose. Usually she just farmer blows or sticks a finger up one side and blows. Lately, however, she has been using a tissue or baby wipe. Today in church Addie was sitting on grandpa Beaird's lap. As she was sitting there, she reached over grabbed his tie and blew her nose on it. Lol...Mike and I were cracking up.
Poor grandpa, he was a good sport about it. I guess that is better then the farmer blow.
We have wanted to start Addie on potty training but our attempts to do so a while back had not gone well. A broken toilet lid and screaming fit made us stop trying.
A few nights ago however, Addie did not want me to put her diaper on. I finally said to her, fine if you don't want your diaper then you need to go on the potty. She got up and walked over to the potty. I helped her up and she sat on the potty but didn't go. She did sit there a while and read a book.
I think the question should really be what isn't she doing? Addie is busy, busy, busy! She loves to play with her sister, climb on EVERYthing, and give huggies! One of her new tricks is if she is being told no, she will run over and hug you. So sneaky and cute. I am pretty sure she thinks she is a monkey. She swings on anything she can.
In September, my parents took Mike, the girls and me to Disney World for a week. It was so fun! Thanks mom and dad! It was also great because Sara and Daniel were able to drive down from Georgia to join us for 5 days.
(Mom, I would like to insert some more pictures here but I need them from Dad.)
My parents flew to SLC and met us at the airport to fly the rest of the way together. The 4 hour flight went pretty well. Addie only screamed for about 20-30 mins and I didn't scream or throw-up from my anxiety about flying, so I think it was a good flight. After landing, we got our rental van and headed to the Swan hotel on at Walt Disney World. Once checked in we met Sara, Daniel and the kids for dinner. This was the first time we saw little Paige, and boy what a cutie!! Of Course Sophie and Dmitri starting playing like they had never been apart.
