Potty Training

The time has finally come! I have waited a year and a half for this moment and it is finally here! This morning when Kailynn finished brushing her teeth, she sat on her potty and said, "Bye-bye pee-pee!" Although she still had her diaper on, I think she understands the concept; which is good enough for me!

Since I was already out running errands this morning,  I decided to make an extra stop at Walmart where Kailynn was able to pick out her own big girl panties! She was so excited that she carried her panties to the register herself.

Kailynn is now taking a nap and we will begin the potty training as soon as she wakes up. Being that this is a first for both of us, I think this will be a fun journey. I'm sure I will have funny stories to share through the whole experience. I can't wait to get rid of those diapers for good! Wish us luck!

Dress Up

Pull up a seat. It's story time!

I had just finished some light house cleaning and snack time was approaching as I decided to check in on Kailynn in her play room. She was playing quietly and making a mess of toys as usual, so I set off to prepare her snack. As I'm cutting the grapes in half, I hear Kailynn singing the clean up song followed by the sounds of her rummaging through her toy bins. I was walking out of the kitchen and into the hallway when I noticed a trail of plastic bracelets and beaded necklaces. I followed the trail of jewelry into the play room and noticed that Kailynn had decided to play dress up. She looked at me with a big smile and said, "pretty." I ran to grab my camera and the smile disappeared as soon as she saw it. I had to take a picture regardless just to remember this moment.

This is how I found her dressed...
