tinkle, tinkle!

so, ella tinkled on the potty on friday. although, until later that day, i really didn't believe her. she sat and tried and since i reallly didn't "hear" the tinkle - i assumed she was fibbing. shame on me! later that day, i knocked over the potty, and low and behold, TINKLE! so, after the fact, i rewarded her with two little m&m’s. i was SO proud of her - and yet annoyed by my disbelief! ugh. what a terrible, doubting momma i am!
now, if we can get wilson on the tinkle train, it would be lovely!

got your nose

so, you know that game you play when you pinch a nose and then put your thumb between your first and second finger - making it seem to a very young person that you actually "got their nose"? well… i added another step to that. so, i "got" wilson's nose and then "threw" it away - off the couch onto the floor. he totally believed me and was quite distraught in thinking that his nose was gone, and that he couldn't find it on the floor. how funny. i cracked up laughing, he was quickly distracted and wandered off. hmmm… i wonder how many times i can do that again.
so, tonight, we watched charlotte’s web. the kids actually sat through most of it. it was okay. yesterday, doug and the kids and i went to Pendery Park in Melbourne, Kentucky for a birthday party. the celebrants were Joshua and Noah Rittinger; our friends Craig and Gina’s boys. Noah turned one and Joshua turned 3. the kids seemed to have a nice time. the rest of the weekend has been a rather lazy one. house chores, grocery, naps, dinners. nothing out of the ordinary.
