I don't have any pictures but I wanted to post a couple of things about Brianna. We've decided to potty train her. Today she only had 1 accident - which was awesome! Hopefully, tomorrow will be just as good. But here is a funny story:
The other day I didn't have a diaper/pull-up on her (I wanted to see what would happen). I was watching her most of the morning - putting her on the potty many times. Well, anyway, I looked over at her and she was standing on a smeared wet spot and her lamb slippers were pretty wet - she was dry everywhere else - I was so confused. Later that day Brayden was taking toy instruments out of the drum that I threw them into and he said, "mommy this stuff is all wet". Turns out she had used the drum instead of the potty and apparently stepped in it afterwards! I couldn't be mad - I was laughing too hard!
Another thing - we had Brianna throw away her pacifier ("nummy") today. She only uses it when she sleeps but we knew it was time. So tonight she is sleeping with a couple of stuffed animals of her choice. At the moment she is quiet - but she definitely was heart broken and cried herself to sleep (I think she's asleep). Pray that we can get some sleep tonight! I hated to do it.
On a brighter note - Brianna is quite the swimmer! We'll have to take a video of it so you can see what I'm talking about. But she amazes everyone at the pool. She can swim down underwater to get a dive stick (with her eyes wide open). She does back flips just holding onto my thumbs (I don't have to do anything). She does twists underwater. She treaded water a little bit today. Who knows what she'll learn this week! It's so fun to watch both of the kids love the water. Brayden is a little more cautious but he's awesome in the water too. He's learning freestyle (definitely better than I was at 4). He can do back flips and floats too. His favorite knew thing is doing cannonballs!
