Welcome to our family site!

Hello and welcome to our site! I feel a little behind the times with this. Wink
Most of you already know Maiken... and Jeff and me. I'm not sure how well I'll do with keeping this updated... out internet/computer cooperation is a little tempramental. So, here goes. Laughing

Potty Time!

So we've been toying with the idea of potty training Miss M. We are armed with Elmo's potty DVD and a little chair for her. She has loved the chair and of course Elmo since day one. However, it seemed that the chair wasn't going to be used for it's intended purpose. Until last night! I got home from work and was called into the bathroom by one Miss M... she was actually sitting on the potty, with her little bare butt! She was fairly content with her bath crayons and entertaining Daddy.

Maybe this weekend we'll actually get something to happen in the chair, but this is a huge step for her. :)

MAY DAY!

What a gorgeous but windy day! Saturday's are usually fun days for Maiken... well in the morning that is. She and I are in a Mommy and Me dance class. I have to admit, it's pretty darn cute! We've been working on phasing out the "mom" part of it and coaxing the girls to dance without us. It's been hit or miss with Miss M. She loves it though, dancing with teddy bears, wearing ballet slippers and tutus. Where can a little girl go wrong? She's come a long way since that first class, way back in September. Her special treat at the end of a class is that the girls get to pick out stickers for following directions. :) Hmmm, do we have the makings of a future Rockette? ;)
 
It's pretty funny to watch her practice her kicks and tippy-toes. Let's not forget her "marshing". Yep, she marshes around the yard, chasing the geese. Marsh, marsh, marsh. "Marsh" is M lingo for marching. Took us a while to figure that one out. :)

 Well, I think our nights are numbered when it comes to footed PJ’s. Once again I go to get Miss Maiken out of her crib in the morning and she’s sitting there, only in her diaper. The goof! This morning, I wasn’t quick enough to grab the camera as she had stripped down then proceeded to reach into the hamper (need to shove the clothes down further instead of setting on top) and try to put on yesterday’s pants.  The problem with the pants was that she had started to put them on upside down so it looked more like a leg warmer… with lots of extra fabric on the bottom.

 My coworker and I have been sharing coasters that we received from a LIVEDYNAMITE conference. What’s neat about these is that we can swap out the quote that’s inside. Some, ok most, are great phrases that hopefully will get you thinking.

I’d thought I’d share the one from this week by Carl Jung: Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.

Feel free to add share your own!! JJ

There will be a new one next Monday…
