Pee All Around

Two potty-related incidents . . .kinda#1  We started potty training Lincoln yesterday.  First thing in the morning, we busted open our first pack of pullups and throughout the day had him sit on the potty about every hour 'just to try.'  Overall, I would say it was a win with two successful tinkles.  The pullup didn't stay dry inbetween, but hey, for a first day, I'm ok with that.  We'll see how the next week or so goes . . . .

#2  Conversation in the car tonight --
Grace:  "Lincoln say, 'What the heck are you doing?".
Lincoln:  "I don't know."
Grace:  "No.  Say, 'What the heck are you doing?' to me."
Lincoln:  "What the heck are you doing to you?"
It's a miracle that mommy didn't pee in her pants she was laughing so hard.

82 & Sunny . . .in January

Words can't really describe how nice it is to get away from cold, dreary Cincinnati and head south for a wonderful familly vacation.  We were so blessed to spend a week and a half in Marco Island/Key West with our family and friends.  The week started with (friends') Laura and Nick's Key West wedding, then continued with tons of fun-in-the-sun with (Great) Grandma Arlene, (Great) Grandpa Larry, Nana and Papa.  The weather could not have been more perfect; not surprisingly, it was hard to come home.
