And the pottying continues!

Rylie is doing such a good job! She's starting to tell me when she has to go! Tonight we sat there for a half hour with no results, but we had a great chat! Who knew going potty could be such a bonding experience?! We sang, we counted, we growled, we played peek-a-boo! Here's to more potty moments!

Survivor, Lost, and other musings. . .

I am addicted to Lost! For those of you who don't watch the show, last night was the "premiere" again! They took a long break, but now they are back with 17 nonstop episodes! I jumped when Julietta's ex-husband was hit by that bus! Poll: Does Kate belong with Jack or with Sawyer?
Rylie counted to ten all by herself! She just ran into the kitchen, chasing a balloon and yelled out one through ten!
She has now decided that she is a bear and goes around growling at us. For our part, we have to pretend to be very scared and she giggles uncontrollably.
Mom and I asked Rylie "Who is Pastor Ryan?" She said, "Daddy"! We didn't know she knew that was Daddy's "other" name!
I have great admiration for my best friend/sister-in-law, Pam! She has been taking care of two (sometimes three) sick kids for awhile now, getting very little sleep, yet she doesn't whine or complain about it like I would! My gift to you: zzzzzzzzzzzz! I wish I could give you sleep!
It's Survivor night! It's on right now, but Ryan is at Flock Group (our small group Bible study), so I have to wait for him to watch it! Thank goodness for DVR!
I think that's all the musings I have for the moment!

Tooth Truth

Well, I survived! I had one of my teeth extracted yesterday. I was very nervous! It ended up only lasting a half hour total and only two minutes of that was the actual extraction. Thank you for all of you who prayed for me! I still feel like I was punched in the jaw, but that should lesson soon. I did discover that vicodin was not my best friend, but that's probably a good thing. My family took good care of me as well as Becky who made me my favorite pistachio salad! (Thanks Becky!) I'll have to get the recipe from her and post it so you all can share in the joy that is pistachio!

Friends!

Tinkle, Tinkle Little Star

It's potty time! My big girl went potty on the potty today! Yay! I'm so proud of her! Now we have to keep it up! Anyone out there have any good potty training tips you want to pass along?
I do have to give allot of credit to Abby, (her cousin that is 7 months older than her) Rylie loves to copy everything she does! Good job sweet pea!

Rylie Daddy Day!

What is it about Daddies and their Daughters? There is a special bond there that is undeniable. I know that is true with me and my Daddy! Tomorrow is a Rylie Daddy day! Every other Friday, they get to spend the day together, while I go to work. They love it! When I come home, she is excited to see me, but still wants to snuggle with Daddy! It's understandable, he is a wonderful Daddy! He is so good with her. Their love for each other is obvious. The way she says "Dadd-eee" when he's tickling her, melts my heart every time! I love watching them together! I am very blessed to have them both! I am in love with them!
