Fun at COSI with Aunt Kathy

Thursday we met Aunt Kathy in Columbus and spent a fun day at COSI. As we drove out of the parking lot to head home, Georgia said, "That was fun with Kathy."

Valentines

Today we dropped off G's valentines at school. Unfortunately, she will miss the party (she doesn't go to school the days of the parties). It's ok, though - she had 2 Christmas parties! This is what her valentines look like. I figured soon enough she will want the store-bought cards so I might as well be crafty while I still can! The other photo is from today after we came home from school. She worked on a valentine for Big Daddy and really enjoyed gluing the hearts down to constuction paper. Who knew that a glue stick was so entertaining?

Now that's progress!!

G is officially sleeping in her bed! She has gone to sleep (for both naps and nighttime) with virtually zero problems since being moved from the crib to the bed.

In additon, today we have been working on going to the potty and she making very excellent progress! She's been running around all day in a t-shirt and nothing else - that means no diaper! - and has only had 1 accident earlier this morning. Since then, we have had 2 poo-poos and 1 pee pee. Good stuff! Curious George fruit snacks and giant marshmellows seem to be great motivators!

A Big Day For Our Family!!

Update: So far, so good! G went to bed as usual with no problems. She is growing up so fast!

This is a very important day for Georgia – not only did she pee pee in the potty this morning, but she is sleeping in a big-girl bed all by herself for the very first time! Earlier this week, she climbed out of her crib (another first) so we decided it was the right time. Brian spent the morning taking down the crib and reorganizing the room. G is napping right now and went down quite easily. We will see tonight when it is time for bed!

New Quilt

I just finished a new quilt for G. It's smaller than I had originally intended (a bit less than 50-inches squared) but I love the colors in the fabrics. The back is a piece of cotton chenille (which was a true challenge for me! Very slippery!) so it is soft and cozy. Here is a picture of G being her diva self while using it this afternoon. "No pictures!"

*The bottom photo is hazy because the camera was covered in fingerprints. The 1st photo is a more accurate picture of the quilt.
