Pack her knickers!

When I picked up Angela from nursery last week, one of the helpers pulled me aside to let me know that Angela was very curious about two of the other girls using the potty. She asked to sit on it so they let her. I've tried this a few times at home over the past month and she was never interested, in fact seemed terrified. So this was exciting. The helper told me to send in three pairs of knickers the next week and they would give it a go.

I sent in three pairs of very cute Hello Kitty undies yesterday. When I went in to pick her up, they were very happy to report that Angela went pee pee on the potty TWICE!! After that she wasnt interested so they put her back into diapers and didn't want to push it too much. I've since tried the potty a few times at home but she only wants to play with it.






I'm not sure mommy and daddy are ready for this potty training thing, but we realized long ago that we don't have much control in this house.

And yes, I'm sure Angela will cringe someday when she looks back to see that I've written an entire post about her using the potty :)

Save the date!

It's time to have the next set of babies baptized. We are planning a baptism for Caitlin and Lexi in the Boston area on Sunday, August 7.

Tummy time

She may be making an inappropriate hand gesture, but I assure you, she really is enjoying her tummy time!!

Three months!

Baby Kai Kai (as Angela calls her) is three months old! It's amazing how fast these three month have passed. Caitlin is a very happy baby - always smiling and coo'ing for us. She is starting to outgrow another size of clothes and will soon be in the 6 to 9 month range! We have no complaints about her sleep - she consistently takes 3 or 4 naps during the day and is almost always asleep by 8 o'clock at night (and doesn't wake up for a feed until 3 or 4 in the morning). Angela continues to be an awesome big sister and still loves holding Kai Kai's hand, giving her kisses and holding her in the swing. These two little girls are just amazing!!

love my girls!

We were all looking nice for a lunch event on Friday afternoon and managed to get some photo's before leaving the house. The girls are both doing great these days. Angela has some moments where she definitely 'two' but has such an awesome personality and is so much fun. Caitlin is always smiling and is a fantastic sleeper (slept ten hours straight last night!). We are so blessed with these gorgeous girls!!

Happy Easter!

We celebrated Easter a day early here since Chris and Katie had an early flight Sunday and its a work day so Rich is at the office. The girls both got some great gifts from the Easter bunny and we had some friends over for a small brunch. The afternoon was spent at the pool - its nice and hot here now so lots of pool time!!

Caitlin's first Easter!

We're off to swim! Ang LOVES the pool now that its getting so hot outside.

Easter Egg Fun

We have visitors this week (my brother, Chris and his wife, Katie) and they brought along a few Easter Egg coloring kits. I boiled the eggs last night and we spent the morning coloring them. Angela really seemed to enjoy it. Her favorite part was definitely when she picked up the blue color and poured it all over the table, floor, and my feet. The look on her face was priceless. It was something like 'that was a lot of fun but I bet I'm going to get yelled at so I better not smile'. But then we all started laughing and she joined in. Fortunately the floor is tiled and the mess was easy to clean up.





Only one cracked egg!!
