BIG week!

I never thought I would be "that mom" who blogs about potty training. But I had no idea how proud I would be of my little munchkin and our success this week. We started..... Yep... I made a decision.. and we are doing it!

So basically this week we were home bound and went for it. Read lots of books while sitting, sang plenty of primary songs and just chit chatted.

Thank heavens for Tootsie rolls and Dora undies to get us through the week!

Way to go BIG KID, we are far from getting it perfect but we are BOTH feeling pretty good about life!

Nanny and Poppas house

Last week Michael had training for work in New Jersey. It was too HOT in phx for me so Grace and I loaded up and headed to my parents house in Ca. Always so many adventures on the ranch.

Helping Nanny watering her flowers and grass.
Baking in the Kitchen.
Alot of swinging.
Went to see the animals and the trains at the fruit barn.
Fed some ducks and fish.
Found another park.
Antique shopping down town with mom and nanny.
Always stopped the car to watch cows, horses, and sheep etc.....
Watched movies.

Grace followed the dogs around the orchards and watched all the tractors as they worked. The whole time was spent OUTSIDE !! Grace has a joy for the small things in life, I love learning from her each day. Thanks Nanny and Poppa for a WONDERFUL VISIT. We missed you the second we left the long driveway.
