Ten on Tuesday

1. She did it! She pooped in the potty on Sunday. And we were all so proud. Who knew pooping could be this exciting...(besides all the men in my family)?! Granted she hasn't pooped in the potty since, but there is light at the end of the diaper tunnel. She also goes potty (pee) on her own at school with no help from her teachers. Progress I tell you, progress!

2. As promised (because of #1) we took Kelsea to Fashion Island to ride the horsies, (which she was too scared to sit on and instead we rode the bench). She held on to me for dear life with one arm, while the other arm waved at Daddy the entire ride. Who knew a Merry-Go-Round could be this terrifying? But guess what she's been talking about wanting to do the past two days? Yep, "I wanna ride the horsies Mommy." Whatever.
3. Also, as promised we took Kelsea to Build-a-Bear (a bit overwhelming for even Walis & I) to pick out a pink bear with pink clothes. Instead she settled on a little girl doll (didn't even know they had dolls!) that looks like Kelsea. Actually, no it doesn't she just happens to have blue eyes and light brown hair. Cathy, you will be happy to hear that she picked out the pink gymnastics outfit for her doll.

4. And to finish out the lovely afternoon we had a pinkberry (of course).

5. Just finished Naptime is the New Happy Hour: And Other Ways Toddlers Turn Your Life Upside Down. It had both Wallis and I laughing out loud. Thanks Cathy I needed a good chuckle! Click here for an excerpt.

6. Really looking forward to a 4 day weekend! Woo-hoo! What are you doing for Memorial Day weekend?

7. We are heading to Palm Desert this weekend for Kelsea's Great Grandmother's 85th Birthday. While the family is golfing, I'm going to take Kelsea to the Children's Discovery Museum. Thanks Sara for the suggestion--Kelsea is going to love it!

8. We leave a week from tomorrow for San Antonio, TX to visit the Hennings and the Sandnesses. Kelsea is looking forward to seeing Ava & Beau again, and to meeting baby Maren for the first time! I'm looking forward to taking a percocet (or two) on the plane, while Wallis takes care of Kelsea 10 rows behind me. A girl can dream, right?

9. I leave you with two pictures from when Grandpa Mike came and visited in March. Wow has it really been two months already? Little late on the pictures because they were taken with the travel camera, and I just don't get around to downloading those very quickly.

10. Grandpa Mike pushing Kelsea on the swing at Veterans Park.
