It's been a LONG time since I've added anything to the blog so here goes...
July 15th: Emma had a break through on potty training. She disappeared for a few minutes and slipped in the bathroom. I heard a scream and discovered my little girl had done BOTH jobs on the potty for the first time ever. I don't know what had her so upset...shock that she had done it or if she had tried to clean up a little and couldn't. Whatever it was it didn't matter. We high-5'd and had a great time celebrating this new development.
September 11: Jehu pp'd on the potty for the first time. His aim was a little off so we had to wash the wall down a bit but what a glorious moment!
Vera Bradley: Much to my neice's delight I have joined the rank and file of VB. I purchased a very small VB bag to put the essentials in then throw into a larger bag if necessary. It's the Windsor pattern. I fought it for so many years!
Upgrading the "little white house" began in June and we've done so much! Fence in the back yard! New steps off of the deck! New paint inside and out! New blinds! And, the trees infested by wooly aphids are GONE!!!!! Now my sidewalk, driveway, cars, house, porch, desk...all of them are clean! Emma was truly amazed and entertained by the tree man. Giggles galore! No more wallpaper in the house either! How exciting! There is still work to be done but we'll get there!
Kiki is about to get married and the Doozies are SO excited for her! We cannot believe the day is almost here. The year has gone by so fast. Kiki will be such a beautiful bride! I'm sure there will be tears! Emma has been impressed by Kiki's ring and wants one of her own. :)
Binky is back and is behaving better. Most days anyway.
