Last week seemed to be a week of milestones for my two. Samuel cut his 5th tooth and below you’ll see the two milestones that Ruthie thought prudent to tackle. Sorry – I have no pictures of Samuel’s 5 teeth as he doesn’t like to show them off all that much. He prefers to try them out on mom.
She decided one day that potty training needed to happen. She loved the idea of sitting on the potty and so we tried to make a go of it. We were somewhat successful but she has since gotten scared of the whole thing and prefers the diapers. The acknowledgments of the bodily processes are there so now all we are lacking is the will.
The other milestone was the transition to a big girl bed. I went to get her up from a nap last week and found her standing in the middle of her bedroom with her diaper in hand. Once I saw the slightly cut lip I knew that there would be many more incidents like this to happen if we didn’t just go ahead and do it.
We can’t find a toddler bed rail that will fit her bed and thus we haven’t put one on it. She has slept 3 nights and nap times without one without falling out of the bed. Last night, I checked on her and found her sleeping in the middle of the bedroom floor. I moved her only to have Joel find her by the dresser later that night. By the time morning came, her pillow was on the floor. For naptime today, I took the pillow off the bed and she wouldn’t have it. So, back on the bed it went. Go figure.
Last night was the Fall Festival at church. Here are a few pictures from the event. They are not the best because she was too interested in what was happening. I am still waiting the family picture they took while we were there. I hope to be able to post it later today or tomorrow. The kids are sporting outfits that were made by Momga with fabric purchased by Aunt Sarah.
I gotta have that one of Doris with the funny face!!!
