Da Da???

Vanessa's first words were "ma ma", starting to think Roman might be deciding to pull the man card on his first words??

Preschool rocks!

Still wearing DRY big girl panties!

Pampers-shmampers

We're on day four of wearing big girl panties folks! Started on Friday first thing after waking up and still going strong. No accidents on Fri, three small ones on Sat and none since. After three days of being homebound ( because mom was too nervous to leave the house and the safety-zone of having a nearby potty), we went out to dinner Sunday night. Still a bit nervous and armed with my trusty portable folding potty seat (yep - thank you One Step Ahead) we hit the road. Vanessa went potty twice in the restaurant. Couldn't believe it. This morning I tried to put on a pull-up for preschool for a little extra insurance, but little miss Dora booty wanted no part of a pull-up so on went the Dora panties. Two hours later....still dry! Yahoooooo Dora! Lo Hicimos!

Rockin' the piggy-tails!

Houston, we have pig-tails

Preschool! Preschool!

Today marked a milestone. The first day of preschool! Starting today Vanessa will be going to a 2-year old preschool program (two days a week, for two hours...doesn't seem long enough for her energy). After being told by many to get out the tissues and wished good luck, I wasn't sure how the morning would go. I knew she'd love it but I didn't think it would be as easy as it really turned out to be. Tears-shmears...I mean, let's be honest, once she RAN into the room it was pretty apparent that Juan and I were clearly an afterthought. We had to practically corner her in order to get a kiss good bye. As soon as she got out of the car she started telling anyone and everyone she saw (all the other parents outside) "I'm going to preschool today!". Once the teacher said it was OK to go into the room Vanessa ran in and said "Good morning Mrs. Sue! I'm here!" The two hours seemed to fly by (for me at least) and I was thankful to have at least gotten a very big hug and a huge smile from her when she saw me there to pick her up! Once we got into the car she said..."can I go back to preschool". Now the question is: how do we bottle up this enthusiasm for going to school so we can use it if need be once she realizes just how much more school she really has??

Blah, blah, blah

looks like we may have another chatter box
