Potty Update 2

I know what some of you are thinking, "another bathroom update?" Hey, it's what's happening in Kaylee-land. Check back after the weekend for Halloween posts and pictures. At least I'm not posting pics of the potty stuff!!

Kaylee's had 48+ hours of dry diapers, Pull-Ups and panties, including at school, for naps and 2 overnights in a row! She wakes up in the morning and tells us, "I was holding it! I have a dry diaper!" Yesterday she even told me she had to go poop in the potty and did. I hope that catches on as quick as the rest.

Potty Update

Kaylee had a dry Pull-Up/diaper all day, at school, out shopping (she did go in the bathroom at the store) and even through nap! She seems to have caught on very well how to "hold it" - she's been telling us when she has to go, and tonight she told us but I guess we were too slow...she went into her bathroom, took off her pants and Pull-Up and went all on her own before we could get in there! Still working on "#2" though she has done that on the toilet once recently. Looks like we may be rid of diapers earlier than we'd planned. Yay! (Of course right after we bought an economy box of them at Costco...)

A New Era

Today is Kaylee's first day going to school in pull-ups instead of just diapers! She's been doing really well using the potty the past couple weeks. Even though we usually have to ask/remind her, she has told us and her teachers a few times. Hopefully it won't be a long, drawn out process, but we weren't really planning to start trying until we had a longer break from school (at Thanksgiving or Christmas). Glad she's doing so well!

Cumming Greek Festival

We took Kaylee to the Cumming Greek Festival for lunch today. She enjoyed bouncing, sliding, dancing and eating! Even with her sunglasses on, she was shielding her eyes because it was very bright out, so first thing we did was buy her a hat (it says "Koukla" = "beautiful doll" in Greek).



Eating lots of Daddy's baklava sundae:

Apple Picking

Kaylee sort of has enough hair now for a ponytail (pigtail?). She wanted to wear her new Halloween hair bow, so I put it in a ponytail for school on Friday. She then wanted to take pictures in our graveyard. I have more headstones, but need new ground stakes before I can put them out!



Yesterday we took Kaylee to Hillcrest Orchards, where she enjoyed apple cider, the petting zoo, a wagon ride and, of course, picking apples!




Petting the chick - she didn't want to hold it (probably safer for the chick!!). She enjoyed holding the kitten until it started slipping and tried to grab her leg with its claws, then she was all done holding kittens for the day!


This was her petting stance - ready to run if needed. As you'll see, one of the little goats startled her at one point and she did turn and run!






Riding the saddle horse and going down the big slide!


Family on a wagon ride, then apple picking! Kaylee insisted on carrying the bag herself, even though it was pretty heavy for her (as she told us a few times).
