Potty

I just wanted to let everyone know Aeryn went peepee in the potty just a few minutes ago. It was the smallest of tinkles. But it was still great none the less. She's been interested, and has been sitting on it without her diaper to no avail. Well not any more. It's a good start on the long road of potty training.

Updates Coming!

I didn't realize how many more pictures I had on the camera. So just now I finished downloading them to my computer, and hopefully tomorrow, no perhaps this weekend, I will have a nice updated post for your enjoyment. It's Tim's birthday tomorrow, and I have so much to do! Don't worry about how long it will be. Yes there's a lot, a novels worth at least. Never fear for those light readers, it will mostly be in slide form. That's what I will go off of; my memory by itself is pitiful. There may be some stories in between that I might not have snapped any photos of. Some of the pics will be of: first time in our backyard pool, last day of swim class, painted toenails(yes, I painted my toddlers toenails, easily).

While I am here, here's what went on today. Aeryn and I went shopping for Tim's b-day present as soon as we finished breakfast. Funny story about what I almost got him. Tim and I both love the new Batman movie, Dark Knight. He had mentioned that a poster from the movie would be cool to have. So I was on eBay (aka SchmeeBay), looking at some posters, and found a nice lot of them in Germany. I bid, and was outbid. I kept bidding. I was bothered that someone else seemed to have set a high outbid price, and was curious to know how much it was. I found out, too much. Luckily I was outbid later by $1. Whew. That's the reason I don't like shopping on there, unless I am looking for a steal. So anyway, we bought Tim's present then went to the park in downtown BA. Melisa's friend Erin showed up a little while after we did. It's a small world. We also sometimes see her at the Library, and her kids' swim class was right before Aeryns. I am starting to feel more confident in Aeryns ability to climb around the playground. She still loves swinging the most. It's so sweet, she always fusses that I swing with her(if there is an adult swing next to hers). Unfortunately, she also wants me to play with her, won't let me sit down and enjoy the weather. After the park we came home for lunch, and then Aeryn went down for her nap. Tim came home while she was sleeping. Later, I took Aeryn to the store with me, she really wanted a cookie. We bought some stuff for Tim's birthday meals. I am making his favorite, salmon, for dinner. He asked for a lemon cake, and that's just what he's getting. Lots of layers of lemon flavored yumminess. When we got home, I started dinner, Goat Cheese Chicken and mashed potatoes. It was too good, so of course we ate too much. A little after dinner we gave Aeryn a bath and put her to bed. That's it.
