Potty Progress!!!

The small steps are getting larger and larger every day!
Brynna is creeping to the point of telling us when she has to go potty. Some times she goes into the bathroom by herself and mommy hears the toilet flush before mommy knows what's going on!
Maybe mommy's dream of "no more diapers" will be accomplished by the end of the year!!

SWIM TIME

Checking out the wave pool with dad; swimming at Grandma and Papa's over the weekend.

Living on the Wild Side

Brynna and I went for a walk this morning at our local Riparian Preserve. As we made it around the final bend of the lake Brynna says...

"Mom, I see broccoli!"
"You see broccoli?" I ask.
"Yep."
"Okay, I guess so," I respond laughing to myself.
(What she really saw was desert vegatation, but who am I to argue with a two-year-old?)

We also saw:

• Ducks
• Hundreds of minnows
• A rabbit
• Butterflies
• Whales (for those of you who know the joke)
• Birds

And in our own backyard our friendly lizard, Mike, made an appearance by the kitchen window.

Quite an exciting nature adventure for little miss!

Brynna's First Day of School

Brynna's first day at her Mom & Tot class. She loved the modeling sand and slides the most and screamed her head off as we were leaving. She even tried to take a chunk out of mom's arm!

Now that's A Meatball!

Keelee making family dinner on Labor Day!

It's raining, it's pouring...

....and when Brynna's old man was snoring she was out playing in the rain!

Small Success

First day, second try and Brynna went potty on the toilet.
We'll take the small steps and smile with pride!

Trouble!

Well, it happened. A parents worst nightmare.
Our five-year-old has a boyfriend. His name is Hurl.
And she kissed him today on the cheek in music class.
Heaven help us!

Little Chef

Here's Brynna helping Grandma Sandie make daddy's birthday cake. (Yes, more of the filling ended up on the table than on the cake.)

Keelee's Impressions of Kindergarten

1. Some boy threw-up - it was yellow.
2. She liked the rock-n-roll she heard in music class.
3. Playing outside was her favorite thing.
4. She ate hot lunch - not sure who paid for it though!
5. "Everyone in the class is a lot of fun."
6. Hannah was her favorite new friend.
