Kade has been potty training for 2 weeks and is doing so well! He has only had a couple accidents and really loves being a big boy. We have done a lot of "motivating" a.k.a. bribery to get him excited about the process. His favorite reward is riding the trains at the mall and Freestone Park. It has been so fun to reward him for his success.
The big boy bed is set up and he is loving that as well. I can't believe how fast I went from having two babies to two toddlers! I love it! Each new stage is exciting with new things to teach to them and watch them grow. There really is nothing better than being a mom. It brings me so much joy.
Ellie May is just the funniest little girl and makes me laugh daily. Her personality is so different from Kade's but they compliment each other nicely. I never thought I wanted to have a girl, but now I can't imagine life without her. She makes me very happy.
We have been counting down the days to when the Utah cousins come visit us! We are so excited! I marked it on the calendar and Kade loves to count how many days until they come. It will be such a fun week with them here!
Halloween is next Monday and it will be a lot of fun this year. The kids are old enough to be excited about it and we are doing a family party with all the cousins at Katie's house and trick-or-treating together! Ellie is going to be a ballerina and Kade will be whatever Stacie has at her house that her boys are not using this year :) She has 5 boys, thus a lot of costumes from over the years. She's nice enough to let me borrow one each year! Camille is going to be a "chic geek." We both came up with the idea. She was struggling to find a modest costume this year and happened to be browsing the Claire's website. She found some glasses that looked cute but geeky at the same time and we decided to complete the outfit with colorful socks, suspenders, and a tie. The outfit is actually really cute, even though it is the makings of a "geek." That's how we came up with the name "chic geek." She's really excited about it and I'm glad she found a modest costume that she feels good about.
Yay cousins! Get here soon!
