1st Visit to the ER (and hopefully the last)

Just when you think you're in the clear, your micro-preemie trips and knocks a big hole in her head.  Now if Delaney was a boy it probably wouldn't have been a big deal, but girls are girls and girls apparently don't think scars are cool.  Thus, Jennifer made an impromptu trip to the ER last night to figure out whether to stitch or not.  At the ER they decided to glue her wound and now we're at the early stages of scar management.  Time to start building the padded room for these hooligans.

Big Girl Undies

We've made some progress recently with Delaney's potty training.  She got pretty excited when her mom broke out the little girl undies.  Now it's a matter of rewarding her for using the potty and keeping it fun.  A few accidents for sure, but progress is progress and we're now on the third tier of our reward program- Skittles.  No diapers is sure a pleasant prospect.

A Day With Special Friends

Happy Birthday Transformer Sam.  This weekend we had a fun visit with our recently displaced friends, The Thorpes.  They now reside in the San Luis Valley, but pushed north to celebrate their little boy's birthday with local friends and relatives.  Young Sam enjoyed some time scammin' on Meredith.  Just like old times. 

Daddy's "Happy Day"

Brandon's birthday isn't the biggest holiday of the year around here, but the three blondes made sure to treat him right throughout the week.  The small Delaney learned a lot about birthdays this January and now enjoys everybody elses "Happy Day".  She was a big help blowing out the old man's candles, and prematurely opening his presents.

Happy Love Day!

DD and Pee Pee on the Potty

For months and months now Delaney has been sitting on the potty and familiarizing herself with the process.  There's been tons of just sitting with no real results until Sunday night during the Super Bowl.... She finally went pee pee!  What a Big Girl!  And last night she did it again before her bath.  YES!

100th Day of School

Toady marks the 100th day that Meredith has been in school as a Kindergartner.  We have been preparing for the day by completing several assignments....  Our first one was to venture to the store and purchase a snack item for her to include in a 100 piece trail mix (we picked marshmallows).  The second assignment was to count out 100 of something at home and then bring it to school.  Meredith wanted to make a necklace, so she used the 100 grid to count out pearl beads and then strung them on some string to make a beautiful necklace.  We've had tons of fun!
