Singing

I potty trained my first child!!!! All done before she is 2 1/2. Whoo Hoo. The first two days where ones I would like to forget, it is hard to bend down so much being so big and pregnant. Gwenie has been ready for awhile now but I was so sick in the beginning of my pregnancy and then we went on vacation and then we got sick and finally I was done putting it off. I started on last Sunday as we stayed home sick (I had Bronchitis and Brett a cold). I took her off of diapers and made her stay in underwear.She potty trained Elmo the first day but then stopped but it was super funny when she would ask Elmo if he had to go and then sit him on the potty!

On Monday night she was sitting there and I could see that it all clicked in her mind. She had this look of "I got it" and since then it has been great! I was impressed that it only took her a day and a half to get it. I was nervous that she would not go at others homes or in potty's at restaurants or stores, ( I have heard others saying their kids took a long time before they would do that) but she likes it. She loves flushing the toilet since it is really loud. I ask her alot if she has to go but most of the time she runs to me and says she has to go. I am super impressed. Brett made up a "Potty Song" and that helped Gwenie get excited and like it. Here she is singing her version of the potty song. She loved to sing while she was sitting there.

We stayed home for the most part that week. It was nice since it allowed me to start on the quilt that I want to make for the baby. Here is a sneak peak at some of the blocks that I have started to make. I can't wait for it all to be done.

Playing outside

It is easy to sit outside and let Gwenie play and have fun. This time I brought my camera and video outside to get Gwenie in action. She was making me happy since she actually let me take some photos of her.

We noticed a "birdie" aka Hummingbird flying back and forth and went to find out what it was doing........



Making a nest! It was so cool since I have never seen a hummingbird make a nest let alone a nest of a hummingbird! I even got a pic of the hummingbird in the nest with a stick in her mouth.



Gweniveve is really into collecting leaves lately. She loves to pick them all up and then throw them in the air. She is always so intent on picking out the best ones.



I took a video of Gwenie singing and dancing.....she is sooooo like me when I was little. I was always making up songs, singing and dancing everywhere. She only did it for a split second since I had the camera on her but it is better than nothing.



Then on Saturday we went to lunch at Knott's Berry Farms Chicken house with Brett's family. Gwenie did not want to eat and did not want to sit still so Kami was really nice and took her outside to play. I hear that Gwenie was enthralled with watching the wooden roller coaster!
