Potty Training

Well, I finally decided to start potty training. Not something I was really looking forward to, but one of those necessary tasks of a mommy. Lauren had given me all the signs that she was ready and loved using her potty. So here we go......... Here is a glimpse of our first morning of potty training. One week later she has been accident free at home for a couple days. She still wears her pull-ups when we leave the house and when she's sleeping. But we are getting there!!!

Thanksgiving

What better way to test out my new kitchen then by cooking Thanksgiving dinner. I was a little nervous how I would get it done with a 2 year old attached to my hip, but I wanted to give it a try. My little helper had to have her hands in everything. Surprisingly she was a big help and didn't destroy the kitchen. She helped me 'paint' the turkey with melted butter and kept a close eye on 'Tommy' with the oven light on. All of that cooking wore her out and she slept right through dinner. Which was great for me.....the most relaxing Thanksgiving dinner I've had in 2 years! Here are a few pics her helping me.
