"Happy Poop Day" footage

Here's the promised "Happy Poop Day..." rendition that I promised. Kayla had victory again yesterday. This rendition isn't as funny as when it happened the very first time, but is still pretty good.

Vacuuming

Kayla sprinkled crushed up crackers all over the floor and was very excited when I asked her if she would vacuum it up. She used to be so scared of this big loud vacuum, now she always wants to take over.

"Happy poop day to me........."

So, Kayla has been doing extremely well with potty training, but the big number 2 has been giving her problems, or should I say US problems. Last week Joe sat Kayla down and said "What is something you would like if you can go poop in the toilet?" Kayla thought about it for a few minutes and then she quickly replied, "I want a cake with a candle." We agreed. Finally tonight she had some success in the good old potty with number 2!!! YAY!!! But that is not the end of the story. Luckily we had a cupcake in our fridge that some friends had given us for Valentine's Day (thanks so much Blands!). I found an old birthday candle in our cupboard and then I came out with the special lighted cake. Kayla started singing, "Happy Poop day to me, Happy poop day to me..............." I wish I took some video of it, but I will next time and post it. It was the funniest thing ever and I can't stop smiling about it right now. Here is a picture of Kayla with her special cake:



Since I am posting about potty training, I decided to post this picture of her potty sticker chart. Kayla loves putting stickers on it.


If anyone else out there is potty training, GOOD LUCK!!!

More indoor days........

We have had more indoor days lately. Today church was canceled so we put our creative brains to work. Kayla wanted to put more fruit and other things on our tree. Kayla gets so excited to decorate our tree and at night as she climbs into bed and asks me if we can put more fruit on the tree in the morning. What fruit will be on the tree tomorrow? Nobody knows. Warm days, come soon or we will be making up our own fruit!!

Valentines Day

I guess you can say I started a little tradition when Kayla was born. Every Valentine's day I like to dress the kids up in the classic "Daddy" shirts. Here's what they dressed up in this year:



(My heart belongs to Daddy)





The kids made Daddy a chocolate heart. I have to admit, I think I ate most of it and it was GOOD!!

Happy Valentines Day

Dearest Heidi:

I LOVE YOU!

-Love Joe-

Preschool

A bunch of my friends and I started a preschool for our little ones. We only do it one day a week since they are still so small, but so far it has been a success! A few weeks ago we had "Blue Day" at our house and Kayla was so excited to be the hostess!
