just for fun

Brynn decided she wanted to eat breakfast with her baby. She LOVES her baby and carries it with here everywhere, along with her blanket. It's just too cute. Then later she decided to be a big girl and put on makeup like her mommy

Oh the joys of "potty training." Brynn had taken her diaper off after lunch (she likes to do this a lot lately) so I thought I would let her run around for a little while. She hasn't been doing too badly, but then we haven't tried very hard either. It seems pull-ups are too much like diapers b/c she still wets in them, and underwear, well she realizes when she's wet...and after 10min the second pair is wet. It's a war wtih underwear. Anyway I was on the internet and I hear an "uh-oh" Great I'm thinking. another mess to clean up......only this time as I went to investigate and get cleaning supplies I realized it wasn't pee! She happily displayed what she had done saying "uh-oh" many times. And I explained over and over that we go on the potty. After cleaning that mess up I went into our bedroom to get ready for work (thinking she was done). she is intentively watching me begins to squat on the floor saying "potty,potty" AAAAAHHHHHH, my efforts were too late. So yet another mess to clean up. I have to keep telling myself that things will improve. I know she knows to go the bathroom on her potty b/c we reward her with candy. But lately bribing her with candy while she sits on the potty doesn't seem to be doing the job. She just gets frustrated b/c she can't have it.
Just another fun filled day with my daughter and the moments you just have to laugh at. Although I'll have to admit, the mess could have been much much worse.

Pretty as a Princess

This morning Tom was taking care of Brynn since he didn't have to be to work till 9:00. So I took full advantage of sleeping as much as I could, considering last night was rough--tossing and turning, throat is sore, coughing that sort of thing. When it was time for him to get ready to go he and Brynn came in and the next word I hear her say was too much not to laugh considering what she had just done "pitty, pitty" as she looks at me with mascara all over her eyes. Like a little racoon. It's amazing what kids do and pick up on. Thankfully it's just the $5 mascara and not the expensive $15 eyeliner. But I can't say that has not happened either. Occasionally she likes to use them as crayons :)

Our baby is.....

We just had our ultrasound appointment on Monday, and the ultrasound tech assured us we were having another..............Girl! She checked twice and there was no mistaking. I swear I could see something else that looked like a different body part, but she assured me that was just the umbilical cord. I was a little dissapointed. It's always fun to have something different, but at the same time I was grateful, 1. the baby is healthy, 2. a playmate for Brynn that doesn't involve gi-joe's and little army men. Tom on the other hand was very dissapointed. After she told us the sex he just smiled. Then after the appointment he called his family and told them the news with very monotonous tone....Yep, we're having another girl. I think he's come to accept it a little more. It is disspaointing for him b/c he wanted a boy, but theres always the next one. Plus it'll be nice b/c we have everything we need for a girl. Sorry no ultrasound pics. I'm not talented enough to get it from the scanner to the computor. Plus it just comes down to pure laziness.
