Big words from little mouths

Recently I have noticed that both kids are using larger words. Like Riley asking myself or Lily 'Is that really necessary?' LOL, YES he really says that! (Wonder where he heard that from? ;) So today the kids were playing hair salon on me. I would look in the mirror to see what they did to me, and say something like 'Oh! Gorgeous!' Which of course they would repeat! Beautiful! Marvelous! Fantastic! The only catch- Lily is REALLY starting to repeat things.....even naughty things they may slip out of my mouth from time to time...oops! It is just cute to hear the kids using bigger words!

Promotion and Disney World!

James found out last week that sometime this summer he will go from Sgt to Staff Sgt! So we are excited about that! We are also making plans for our very first vacation! We're gong to Disney World! None of us have ever been there, so we are excited. We will be going from May 16-23 and will get 5 day passes to Disney itself. We will probably also try to go to Sea World, Busch Gardens and Universal Studios. I can't wait! He should be home before his birthday, so that is good too!

Potty Training

So I have decided to take the plunge and attempt potty training with Lily. After breakfast she asked to go potty. Fine by me! So she went in and pooped on the potty! I asked if she was done, she says no and sits back down. Then she pees! YAY! So far she has been wearing her panties for about 4 hours (or close to it). And so far no accidents! Now, I am not stupid enough to think this is it, that PTing is now accomplished, but I am hopeful!!!

*ETA* She did very well for her first day in panties! She had one accident where she peed her pants, but that was it! YAY!

*After 3 days, I have decided that neither she, nor I am ready for this. *Sigh*

A First For Lily!

A few days ago like usual Lily wanted to go potty before she got in the bathtub. She stands up and tells me she pooped...she always says she poops, whether she only pees or does nothing, lol. Well, this time she actually did! Yay Lily!

Riley's First Day of Preschool!

Today was Riley's first day of preschool- yay for mommy! LOL! I walked him in today and took him downstairs to his class. He went straight for the tool bench (that he has been talking about since he first saw it over 2 weeks ago) and started playing. I am hoping he does ok....the real test is seeing if he is ok tomorrow when I drop him off at the door and I don't go in with him. I will update more about it and what he says about school later tonight!

*UPDATE* He is now home from Preschool- the teacher said he did great and doesn't think the smile ever left his face, lol! He is ready to go back again tomorrow. His only disappointment was that I forgot today was show and tell day where he could bring in a toy to show the other kids. Oops! YAY for preschool!
