Both play dates this morning cancelled, so I made some quick decisions about what to do with the day. I decided we’d trek to Target to get ready for Lydia’s big potty training day tomorrow and then to Kid-to-Kid for some fall and winter clothes for the girls. After the outings, the girls did not take their naps (I felt soooooooo sorry for myself!), and so we practically jumped straight in to the dinner, snack, second-dinner routine.
Tonight I actually made multiple dishes, and I was so proud that the girls had options aside from graham crackers. Sadly, Mary was super fussy (maybe she’s teething? This week she has morphed from my easy baby to this squawking, screaming, super-duper-picky child!) and kept refusing to eat. Finally I gave up and let her crawl to Lydia’s table where she set up shop stealing all of Lydia’s food. Lydia was eating only on the condition that she be nice to Mary, and so she very sweetly shared her food and kept spooning out heaps of rice onto the table for Mary to grab.
Anyway, I need to get reading up on potty training because tomorrow is the big day, and I have done zero research thus far. This was kind of an impulsive decision borne out of a conversation I had with my friend, Misty, who just potty trained her daughter on Thursday. After a mere eight accidents, Sophia got it! I pray Lydia’s training can be a similar experience (please note that we have white carpets), but I don’t hold out much hope. We shall see, I guess.
So here are the pics from the day. I should really figure out Flickr so that I can just do a daily picture dump there.
