Neat Travels

Well, we had a couple of fun days last week. On Friday, the kids and I went to Greenfield Village with Noelle, Orlagh, Cormac, Padraig, Dowa, and Grandma Watson. We had a lot of fun. I have included a couple of pictures. Since Bill has been gone the last vcouple of weeks, we decided to do something fun with Gabriel (Madigan doesn't seem to care about "fun things"), so we took him to Frankenmuth. He really liked Bronners (so did Madigan, I don't think she stopped looking around once). He was very excited to see Santa and he got a new John Deere tractor ornament that he proceeded to break beofre we even got out of the store. It was a long day, but both kids seemed to have a good time.

Pottytraining 101

Well, the HUGE news here is that Gabriel is potty trained! A couple of weeks ago, I decided that the "intro" to potty training had taken long enough, it was time to go hard-core, so he had a choice of underwear or a pull-up. He chose a pull-up and went pee about 30 times, and pooped twice. Since then, he has not had any accidents during the day, so we are really excited about that. We were so excited that we took him to his favorite restaurant, Red Robin to celebrate! I never thought I would be blogging about pee and poop, but as any Mother will tell you, it is a very big deal. Madigan is doing well, drooling all over us! You can easily see her tooth now, so that is very cute. She sat up once last week, but has decided that she really doesn't like that view, and won't do it again! Hopefully, I can get a picture of a very cute girl with one tooth, sitting up and I will post it. Have a great week!
