Happy Memorial Day!

Hope everyone is having a great memorial day and enjoying time off work. We are busy getting the house cleaned and getting ready to head to bama tomorrow for a couple of days to see our new niece *Sophie Claire* who was born on Friday, and to see my dad who is recovering from prostate surgery. Unfortunately, his surgery was not effective and he has a consult at Vanderbilt in June to see if they can operate. *keep him in your thoughts*

After 2 days in bama we are heading to Gatlinburg with my mom, nanny, and 2 aunts and uncles. It should be fun. We need some time away.

In other news, Brandon got his tat today. I really love it, it turned out great.

Fun Night for the Kiddo

Last night we got to take Maddie Lou to see Sesame Street Live! She had a great time. She is still talking about, Elmo and Zoey and Cookie Monster and Big Bird and Bert and Ernie and Grover and Oscar. . lol. But it was a really cute show and I am glad that we got to take her. It is kind of sad how we got the tickets. A friend of mine is having trouble with her husband and she left the state to go back home for a while to sort things out and they already had the tickets so she just gave them to us. I hate they didn't get to go too. :[ I wish we would have known about it more in advance because we would have bought tickets anyway. She was still talking about when we took her to see Playhouse Disney Live! back in September. She loves stuff like that. But yeah, good show, I recommend it to anyone that has lil ones and they watch Sesame Street.

It was supposed to be storming, and we were a little reluctant to drive down there and then it get bad, but we lucked out and the weather was fine. Afterwards we went to IHOP and spoiled her with pancakes. . lol. All in all it was a good night. .and it was great that Brandon got to experience it with us. It seems he always misses out on this kind of thing, so I am so glad that he got to go with us this time!

Yipee!!

So, I am calling it official. . we are officially potty trained. No more pull-ups!!! She has been daytime potty trained for quite a while now, but the night time thing is what was scaring me. I wasn't ready to stop putting her in a pull-up at night because almost every morning when she woke up her pull-up was wet, so I didn't think she was ready. Then one day I ran out of pull-ups and didn't have a chance to get to the store. So I told her she was going to sleep in her panties, but she couldn't pee in them. She was very excited, I was not, because I just knew I would be waking up in the middle of the night to change her clothes and sheets. But the next morning I woke up and she was awake and dry. I was SUPER excited. So that was the end of pull-ups. That was a few months ago and as of now she has only wet the bed about 4 times. She hasn't had an accident at all in over a month. . so that is it, I am calling it done! LOL. I know she will probably have a few more accidents over the course of time, but I am just so super excited and proud of her! It was so much easier than I thought it was going to be. I just hope the next kid is the same way. . ha ha.
