Mia Went Potty!!

About a month ago, we took the training potty out so that we can get her sit on potty seat first and she had no problem with sitting on it. With Aiden the first try wasn't too happy for him as he was quite scared of potty seat. She didn't pee in the potty. Last night before bath, Daddy took the potty seat out again and asked her to sit on it, she did, but no pee. Then after bath, Daddy asked her again and she sat down and PEED in the training potty. Tonight Daddy asked her again before bath and it was easy, she sat on it and peed right away. After two nights in a row, she seems to get an idea that she needs to pee when she sits on that seat.  It is a good start!!!

Aiden's First Swimming Class

Mommy's friend recommended YMCA private swimming class. We found one close to home and did our first class on Sunday morning. Aiden as VERY sceptical at the beginning and wouldn't even go inside the swimming pool building. But Dad managed to get him in and sat down on the side to watch others swim. When coach Paula was ready for him, he didn't want to go with her. But she was very good with kids and only took her about one minute or two to get him into water. On he was in, he really enjoyed it. He did everything she asked him to do such as swim on his back, paddle his arms and legs, move along the pool with his hands on the edge, get his face dipped into water, jump into water. He was quite proud of himself and told waitress he took swimming lesson when we went out to eat after class. We think he is ready to go back next Sunday.

Aiden's Garden

Aiden brought home his art work from daycare. He drew some pretty flowers. He was very proud to show Mommy. Then Mommy said how about turning this to garden by adding some bugs. Aiden sat down and added ant, lady bug, butterfly, blue sky and bright sun. Nice work. He has slept this drawing for two nights.

Little "Chef" Mia

We went to steak and shake for Saturday lunch. Mia loved the paper chef hat that comes with kids meal. She was wearing the whole time at restaurant and looked very cute.
