Updates...

Erin is doing great with the potty training.  We're down to most days with no accidents.  She hasn't quite gotten big business down, but we've only been at it a week and a half.  She will tell me after she goes, so I guess that's some sort of progress.

We got her hair cut last night.  They took off about 2 inches.  It was getting scraggly after a full day at school.  She looked pretty worn out and beat up when I would pick her up and her hair was crazy.  So, off it came.  She looks super cute with this new little Page Boy look.  She wouldn't cooperate and give me a picture of the front.

I did however get a picture of the back.  The only problem is our hot pink hair extensions got in the way.  I think you get the drift anyway...

Stage Mom Anyone?

Who you calling a Stage Mom?  Tots and Tiaras...I totally get that now.  I could be one of those people.  Someone stop me if I ask my Daddy to build me a runway/stage for the garage...

I signed Erin up for her first ballet class yesterday.  It's for the Fall session so it doesn't start until August but I'm already super excited.  I really want her to love it.  I never did ballet but always wanted to.  So, as Tommy said, I am living vicariously thru her on this one.

Not sure if we'll keep up with gymnastics.  She loves going but she doesn't listen a bit during class.  She runs around like a crazy girl hitting every apparatus.  The teachers try to keep them in line, but there are about 20 2/3 year olds in that class and it's impossible.  Daddy thinks she is going to get hurt because she is fearless jumping off the high beam and mats.

I'm hoping ballet will be a little more calming and that they limit the class size so that she can be a little better behaved.  Plus, I think there is no mommy and me time in this one.  I think she goes in there by herself and she's always better when I'm not there.  Of course I'll be outside watching her, but it's different then having me in there.

If this goes well, then we may sign her up for ballet and tap next year.  Tommy nearly croaked when I told him she was going to be in a recital.  He thinks she's too young.  But, it will be around this time next year, so I think she can handle it.  She is never shy on stage at her school performances.  Of course, she doesn't do the "routine" they have planned but improvises her own show!  Maybe a solo performance is in the making....

My thoughts on this class were to make it after school so it will free up our Saturdays.  We loved taking her to they gym because she has so much fun, but man, it really stunk to be there at 10:00 on a Saturday.  It was hard to plan anything because it butted up against lunch and naptime.  This ballet class will be Monday nights at 5:00.  

I already have a plan on how we're going to do it.  Gram and Pawpaw to the rescue.  They will pick E up from school and take her to class.  I'll go straight from work and meet them there.  Tommy will come when/if he's able with his schedule.  

Now we just have to wait for August!

Last Potty Post...

So proud of Erin.  But I swear this will be my last potty post.

She went all day yesterday at school without a single accident.  I packed 4 sets of clothes and dry panties and they all came home with me.  I was shocked and thrilled to pick her up and see she was in her original outfit.  Way to go Erin!

Dry All Day...

Well, day 3 and we didn't have a single accident today.  

Erin has really taken to the potty training.  We went for donuts this morning as a treat and she didn't have an accident.  We napped and she kept her pull up dry.  (Yes, we wear a pull up when we sleep with panties on the inside.)  They were dry when we got up!  Yay Erin!

We went to HEB this afternoon and then played outside.  She didn't have a single accident.  I am really impressed with her.  It's taken a while to get it, but once she did, I think it stuck.

William came over today and played this morning.  They had a great time.  

Potty of One...

We're tackling potty training this weekend. 

So far, so good...

I stayed home from work yesterday to get a good start.  It was rough at first, but now she's going and hasn't had an accident since yesterday afternoon.

We have a sticker chart and a bag of prizes.  We're actually down to just 2 prizes left!!!  Tommy had to make a Kroger run and he's buying some little prizes there.  (Yes, that's low rent... but our Kroger just remodeled and they have a pretty big kid's section now and even sell clothes.)

Now, if we can just keep making progress.
