Gabi's first pigtails!

this morning Gabi's hair was SOOOO crazy, I decided to try pigtails! They aren't that long yet, but I still think she looks so cute =)

sweet day, and Will's first day back

Today Will started pre-school again.  We are very lucky to have the bus come get him and drop him off (since the girls sleep during a portion of the time he is gone).   We are hoping this school year goes well for him.

We also had a special morning with Gramma and Grandma Thomas.  Pancakes, coffee, a little game of "dinosaur catch" and relaxing.  overall, just a sweet morning!

The kids were playing "slumber party"... Gabi wasn't cooperating =)

Rooms... finally

We have been slowly working on the kids rooms.. making them special... making them their own.  Although we still need to get some key furniture pieces and get some more frames up... Will and Isa's room are painted and ready!

Alleluia!

ONLY 1 child in the house wears diapers!!!!  For a LONG time I didn't know when this day would finally come... but it's here (and hopefully to stay).  I am SO proud to report that Will is in Big Boy Undies now ALL day and night!!!!!!!  Trust me, I am more than ecstatic. 

I have sat around rolling my eyes as I have watched all the other kids in our playgroup progress to this stage one by one... some even 2 years ago (ugh).  I was told, "when he is ready, he will do it."  Well... I WAS READY.  So I ventured on a fun game (with lots of treats) for Will AND Isa and it has paid off.  Will is now fully potty trained!

As for Isa... I still put on a "pull up" at naps and bedtime, but she is in panties all day as well.  She by no means is completely potty trained (she has her occasional accidents a week), but mostly is staying dry and clean.  Over the past 2 days though... she has been going all on her own (without me prompting), so that is A BIG DEAL for me! She has also been staying dry all night and at naps for the past couple of days. 
So I say again... A L L E L U I A ! ! ! ! !
