It was a long week here, I am super thankful for the weekend! For our post this week, I didn't write five laughs down. As I sit here with my laptop, I cannot even think of another funny moment, oy!! So I'm just going to write four laughs this week with hopes of more laughs next week.
4. Natalie has been getting rather regular when going #2 so we are anticipating the big event a little better and putting her on the potty. She gets so excited when she actually goes (which has only happened twice), she claps her hands and screams mmmmmm while pointing at the container of M&M's sitting on the counter. Somewhere during all the excitement, Claire comes in the bathroom clapping and cheering, "Wa-hoo! Go Natalie!!" while jumping up and down. How the excitement of Friday nights has changed over the last few years.
3. Thanks to help from Miss Cynthia, Claire has been working on keeping her mouth closed while eating. However, most of the time this translates into Claire tattling on everyone else who has their mouth open while eating. Ryan and Claire were pretending to eat the play food and Claire even corrected him for fake chewing with his mouth open.
2. I posted about the big Backyard Bash earlier this week. Natalie had so much fun dancing! Her new favorite dance move is to run between my legs, then circle my leg and back between my legs again. I wish I could describe it better, because it really is quite adorable. She finds it hysterical, giggling the entire time.
1. We had a pig-roast at the party last weekend. Claire told us after the party, "I'm a little sad, we were supposed to have a pig at the party and all we had was some ham!"
As always, I'm linking up with Melissa from The Mommyhood Chronicles.
Enjoy your weekend!
Hi Heather! I haven't been finding time to comment on my friends' blogs as much as I'd like either! Cupcakes is also starting to go in the potty, but it's only happened a handful of times. We also reward her for #2 with a treat- we use chocolate chips. :) Hopefully both our girls will be fully trained soon!!!!! :o)

Hi Jamie! Work does get in the way of all the fun stuff ;) I wish you much luck with potty training, i am just having wishful thinking!!
DeleteSo cute! I just finished potty training and now I'll have to start up again soon. Hope it's easier the second time lol
ReplyDeleteI hope you're right. Glad you have one under your belt, halfway there!!
DeleteLOL! So cute. It's funny the things that entertain us once we have kids.
ReplyDeleteIsn't that the truth?! People warn you, but you don't think it will really happen to you - lol!
Deletehow cute Claire is there to cheer on Natalie!
ReplyDeleteIt is super adorable, I hope it continues since natalie gets a huge kick out of it :)
DeleteI think I would be a little disappointed with the lack of a pig at the party too. :-( Probably a good thing she hasn't made the connection yet! Toddler dance moves are awesome! You need to get out the camera (or Ryan since you're involved) and get that one on tape! Have a great weekend Heather!
ReplyDeleteToddler dance moves are the absolute best! I hope you had a great weekend too!!
DeleteI love that big sister is cheering her on!! When we potty trained our middle- she had her big sis and lil bro clapping and cheering. I found that was the most encouraging thing we could do!!
ReplyDeleteShe'll get the hang of it soon!!
I hope you're right!! I am ready for no diapers ;)
DeleteI am so jealous that she sits on the potty. That is so cute that she cheers her on! LOL! You need to get that dance of video-seriously! Haha- love #1- such a smart cute girl. I say ham too,lol!
ReplyDeleteShe normally just sits - I am hoping it starts to click soon. Yes, pork or ham sounds way better than pig - ew!
DeleteHahaha! Number 1 just cracks me up!
ReplyDeleteI thought it was too funny!! I still laugh thinking about it ;)
