Making Progress

We are finally..well almost.. done with the baby's room. Hooray! I still have some decorating to do and what not, but the painting is done and that was the biggest part. We got most everything moved into the room last night - Which is a good thing considering this baby will be coming in less than a week, unless I go late..again...please send labor inducing vibes my way :)


I am still trying to decide what other print I want in the middle picture frame. Ross' fave book is Fox in Socks so we might go in that direction.


Anna is also making progress with the potty training. She is still doing awesome with #1. Ever since we started potty training we kept her in pull ups at night - much to her dismay. She would kick and scream and declare her distaste for diapers. However, she was still waking up wet and as much as I love washing her bedding everyday...yeah, not so much. But after a week, she was waking up more and more dry. Well, one night I went to check on her before Ross and I went to bed - you know, admiring how cute that little stink is, when I notice her diaper on the floor. So I guess that was that and now she doesn't ever wear a diaper and hasn't wet the bed at night once (knock on wood). To reward her for her awesomeness we bought her a pool. I wanted to get her one anyway, but I figure this would be a good bribe to get her to go #2 in the toilet. She has done it a couple of times, but that is definitely our struggle.


For an hour and a half (I kid you not) she put all her duckies in the chair..


and then would throw them back in the pool.


And then repeat the whole process again. There were a few breaks where she would leave pool to go make 'foot prints' on the cement. Oh to be a child again.


Now for our current potty training dilema. Annabelle is no fool and is using the whole 'I have to pee' to her advantage when it comes to sleeping. For about an hour after I put her down for a nap AND after we put her down for the night she will get out of bed every 10 minutes claiming she has to pee. Now, of these 4 or 5 times only once does she actually need to go pee. Is this just a phase?! I tried to talk to her about lying, but she doesn't have the slightest idea what I am talking about. LOL. But I am afraid if I tell her 'no' that she can't get off her bed, it will be the one time she is telling the truth and she will wet the bed. Grrrr.


Last weekend was Ross' big family reunion. He was excited to finally meet the other Ross Dinsdale. They got to meet and hang out during the course of the reunion and Ross wanted me to get a picture of the both of them before we left. I got out the camera and they both struck the same pose. This was not planned. My Ross strikes this pose in almost every picture (hands on hips and looking up to the sky like some sort of super hero) and it turns out the other Ross does it in most pictures too. Ross' mom and I could not stop laughing. Who knew being a dork is all in the name ;)
