update on the girlies

I hesitate to post anything about potty training, just in case we end up back in diapers in a few days..so I'll just say we're testing the potty training waters. 
This is day two of Gracie's potty training experiment. She loves wearing panties around the house and has been doing great doing her business. We'll see how it goes...here she is in her princess panties! Woo-hoo!
(yes, she's sitting on a towel...I pictured a day's worth of laundry if she forgot she didn't have a diaper on. She did  great. )
 Gracie's a crack up...I wish I could just record everything she says. Here are some favorites:
  • Lucy has had a bit of a cold, so once in a while she'll give a little cough. Gracie always says, "bless you" which always makes me smile. The other day Lucy coughed pretty hard and Gracie looked at her, very concerned and said, "You ok, Luce?" (I love when she calls her Luce!)
  • She was saying the prayer the other night on the food. She got distracted and looked at Lucy who was in her bouncy seat and said, "Lucy! Fold your arms!"
  • She is a sleep talker! I love it...almost every morning she wakes up at 7ish, then comes into my bed and sleeps another hour or two. During that time she yells out random words and phrases. Some of my favorites: "my tummy is full!", "no go potty yet...", "I awake!" (when she's totally asleep). I love it.

 A couple of updates on Lucy girl: She is such a sweetie. We just love her smiles and giggles these days. Her sleeping habits are a little bit inconsistent but not too bad. She is starting to grab things with her hands and kicks her legs constantly. We love little sister.

I love that Gracie talks in her sleep! Hilarious. I would crack up... Kenley has done it a couple of times... when I go in before I go to bed to make sure she's covered up. My favorite one was, 'MOKE!' (milk).
Kenley does the 'You ok, Ashie?' and 'Bless you' bits, too. So cute.
And... Gracie is totally Jared and Lucy is totally you. Love those girls... COME VISIT!

Nothing like starting out a family with two great girls. That's what Dad and I did, and there was never a dull moment, as you are discovering.
Good luck with the pottie training.

Wow... you are brave potty training... How old is Gracie? That is so cute that she calls her Luce! I love it when Beckett calls his little sister Em! It just makes me smile to see the relationship forming between these siblings!
