POTTY Training 101!

Picture taken: November 1, 2008
So... here we go! Breoni has been really good about wearing her 'big girl panties' every evening when we get home. She is working with the teachers at school well and will sit on the 'mini toilets' that they have in the day care. I have never seen such small toilets. I didn't even know they made them so little! She is stellar about sitting on the potty when mom and/or dad ask her to, however we are having a little more difficulty with 'knowing' that it is time to go. We have had regular accidents and not much success with 'making it to the potty'. She had really got the process down. She loves to FLUSH! and is a PRO at washing her hands!

ANY and ALL suggestions welcome here!!!!!

What a DOLL!

Pictures Taken: November 2nd
Kyrie is getting to be quite the kid! She is incredibly happy and has a the cutest giggle ever. She is an incredibly mild manner baby and rarely gets upset. She is incredibly curious about her surroundings and is always craning her neck to get a look at the action. She is close to sitting up on her own and loves to reach out and grab onto things. She turned 5 months old on November 10th! We love, Love, LOVE her!

What a GREAT DADDY!

Jerry is a wonderful Daddy.
Breoni and Kyrie both LOVE him VERY much!
Thanks for all you do for all of us!

Yet another tag...from Joy!

6 Quirks of interest?

I am incredibly particular about the way my laundry is folded. I worked for the Limited in High School and had to fold everything around a clip board. I think it ruined me for life!

I would like a tattoo! I keep writing this. Maybe I'm trying to overcome all the messages in my head that say this isn't okay. I think I will start designing it tomorrow!

I would like to own a 65' Mustang and it will need to be the vintage purple color! My great-grandmother had one. My dad inherited it and fixed it all up. I got to drive it one summer while I was in college. It represents a free spirit for me since my very 'hip' grandmother purchased a purple sports car when she was 69!

I prefer to stay up late and get up late, but my teaching schedule FORCES me to be an early riser... I just haven't figured out how to go to bed early yet!

I am a PRINCE fan. I'm more into his music from the 80's and 90's before he decided to be a 'symbol' instead of PRINCE. I could listed to VINTAGE PRINCE for hours and hours.

I have tons of 'empty' frames hanging on the walls in my house. I have tons of pictures to fill them, but just can't seem to find the time! I wonder what my mother would say that is communicating about my life! And, since I said that... I believe that there is a message/lesson in everything that happens in life!

Who do I tag? Well, I'll say anyone who isn't a party pooper!
