Potty Training Break Through

Last night I was speechless, Addy was in the tub and she said she had to go potty. This is a regular occurrence so I took her out of the tub and put her on the Elmo Potty. Low and behold she went to the bathroom. This is a major break through for Addy because she has not once gone potty on the potty. I had thrown in the towel on the whole potty training thing. On Monday I sat in the bathroom with Addy for hours, with no luck. Two minutes after we leave the bathroom Addy has an accident, with two more to follow that (luckily we have wood floors.) I told Jason that she would never be attending school because she was never going to go on the big potty. Of coarse she proved me wrong. I know we still have a long road ahead of us. Now we know that she can do it. We will see what the rest of the day brings.

Happy Birthday Papa

Jason, Ethan wanted to tell you happy birthday and that you are best buddies forever.

Addy said "this is the best birthday party ever."

Christmas Time

We had a great Christmas this year. Brody almost had his acting debut in the Christmas pageant. We were not sure if Sebastien was going to show up to play baby Jesus, but he pulled though at the last minute. Luckily Sebastien showed up because Brody was very fussy. Brody turned out to be a great understudy. After the pageant we had a great Christmas Eve dinner with Jason's parents and David. Santa came and somehow knew just what the kids wanted. Then it was off to Grandma and Grandpa Parry's for Christmas lunch. Grandpa thought it was funny that all of the kids got new toys for Christmas but every one was playing with the old marble machine and legos. Why do we need new toys again?
