Catching Up!!!

We have been really busy this summer. Here are a few of the things that have happened in the last week.
First of all I would like to tell you that we have started potty training!! A sweet friend of mine lent me a 3-day training book that guarantees the child to be fully potty trained after the third day. There are several rules you have to follow and one of them is to throw all diapers away and wear only panties.. well we have done that. The other thing is to stay at home for the full 3 days to allow the child to really go to the potty and not be on the go... well we are doing that as well. Today is day 2 and Taylor is posing below with her "special toy" and big girl panties for doing her "poo" in the potty!! ( i know you wanted to hear that:) This is a very stressfull thing, but I think it will all pay off in the end. I guess we will see after tomorrow!! The funny thing is she had 17 accidents yesterday.. but when daddy got home.. she had only ONE!! AND... she slept all night in panties with NO accidents!! (i'm sure that's just pure luck) Say a prayer that we make it through today and tomorrow... and have success at the end!! I will post the results!!

Taylor is really into her baby dolls right now. Cici bought her another one when she was here last week. I bought her a little carrier for the doll and she LOVES it. She is actually reading to Bella below (Cici named her doll, too) FYI.. we are reading thousands of books a day to Tay, which is a good thing, but very tiresome.. she brings one book after another and says.. READ IT!! She doesn't take no for an answer.. wonder where she gets that from?


Last weekend, we fish sat for a sweet friend of Taylor's, Mary Carter. She has three fish and one of them is named Taylor. ha!! Taylor really enjoyed having them, but may have killed them if she had them any longer, she liked to throw lots of food in there!!

Taylor is also really into coloring at the moment.. and she wants someone to color with her!! Daddy came home from work and was so sweet to sit and color with Taylor.. it sure gives mommy a little break!!

She picks up the crayon and says A color, but it is never the right one. But, we are so proud she knows so many different color words!!

Swinging in the big girl swing.. everything is about being a "big girl" around our house these days!!

Tay got her hair trimmed last week and my hairdresser said she was finally old enough for the glitter... she loved it and there is STILL a little glitter in her hair after so many washings. It was really cute. We went shopping that day and everyone commented on her cute hair!!
