Too Long

It has been too long since a post. Reese had a great third birthday. She had a blast watching Bob the Builder. Reese is getting used to the idea of a baby in her house so hopefully March will not be too difficult for her. Pictures of Reese to follow.

Big Girl Seat

Well, we finally did it. This week we took out the car seat and put in the booster, or as Reese calls it :my pink flower seat". She was so difficult to put in and out of a car seat, and the ages on the booster (with a back) say to start at 4. We called the doctor and as long as she met the height (38 inches, she is 39), and the weight (40 lbs, she is 42) she could get one. It is so much easier. When she got her seat belt on for the first time she started smiling and yelling "whoohoo, whoohoo, whoohoo." It was so funny.

Ballet Camp

Reese had a week at ballet camp and really enjoyed it.  At first she did not want to get dressed in her leotard, but once she saw all of the big girls dressed she was so excited!!!!!!  She loves to dance and would say "I need to go to ballet camp and see all my new friends!"  She had a blast.  She was the youngest in the class, but she seemed to do well.  It took a while for her to listen and actually follow the teachers directions, but she finally did.  She also did her very first somersault.  She would never do one at the gym so this was exciting.  Hopefully I can download pics tomorrow.  Once I get the UMS cheerleading pictures I will download them as well.  For now, we are off to the Bass Pro Shop.  With 100 degree weather you try to find anything that is remotely cool and entertaining.

Picture Day

Little Reese and Claire were UMS cheerleaders today.  They had a blast playing with Ashton and Ocllo in the pool.  Before that they got to take pictures will Ashton, the real UMS-Wright cheerleader, for the athletic program.  More pics to come!!!

Blueberries, Biscotti and Panties

I am watching a cute 2.5 year old eat biscotti, blueberries and sit at her little table.  What a big girl.

Well, yesterday Reese and I had our first official vacation day together.  It was great.  THe selective potty did get better as well.  For those who do not know Reese has been potty trained since she turned two.  Only potty trained at school.  Yep, she would TT and the first girl to poop and for Charles and I, nothing.  So yesterday I put her big girl panties on.  She did wonderfully and I did put on a pull-up for her nap.  No accidents, wonderful.  She woke up a tt'd in the pull-up.  I asked her what she did.  She said "I'm wearing a pull-up".  Yep, she uses the pull-up because she can.  So, I will be careful from now on.  Pull-ups only when we must wear them.
