SPECIAL ICE CREAM CONE

On Brenna's birthday I was on Baskin Robbin's website looking for a free birthday cone coupon, Brenna saw a yummy cone and wanted a picture of it. They would not print so I printed one off google images. She carried it around until we went to Dairy Queen to get a ice cream cone with her buddies. At the cash register she showed her picture and said, "Can I have this one for my birthday?" The cashier went and whipped it up just for her!!!

CYNTHIA MY ANGEL

I have the BEST baby in the whole world. She is never a burden. She sleeps well, eats well, sits contently and smiles all day. When she is tired she closes her eyes. No fussing around. She is SOOO beautiful. Sometimes I look down at her on my lap and she is just smiling like I am the person she loves most in the whole world. I am literally and completely in heaven. Thank you, thank you, thank you for my special gift from heaven.

***Not sure if you can see her shoes but...Ashley and I made them!!! Navy shoes are impossible to find in newborn. They were so BEAUTIFUL but only stayed on for a few seconds at a time.

NUMBER TWO

Potty training "the pee pees" took a week until no mistakes. The "poopies" have proven to be the most difficult concept for them to grasp.

There are a few reasons why I think they do not understand it is uncool to poop their pants. First, I waited too long to potty train. They had been fully aware that they have been pooping their pants for awhile now. Second, I give them a few glasses of milk a day which firms things up so it is not a nasty sludgy mess when they go in their pants.

When they do go in their pants we take them to the toilet and put it in and flush, showing them that poopies go in the toilet not in their pants. Now they are even more confused. They get so excited when they put it in the toilet themselves. They some and get us, "I did it!!!". It doesn't count if they do it in their pants and then put it in the toilet.

We are at a loss. Someday I hope it will click.
