Some people...

...only get to read about situations like this. Others of us live it on a regular basis. Jordyn has been doing pretty good potty training, despite a few quirks here and there. In fact, today was her first day wearing panties and she only had one accident before nap :-) YAY!!!
So, nap.... For some reason Jordyn is under the impression that if she doesn't "go" in her diaper, she did a good thing. We heard some commotion, went upstairs, India is pretending to sleep and Jordyn is naked and has peed in her bed. Changed the sheets and reminded her to keep her clothes on. A few minutes passed and we heard A LOT of commotion. Come to find both girls naked from the waste down, a full toilet, and a "mess" on the rug. They are so proud that they both did their business and are demanding to know what their treat will be. Well, Jordyn's pull up is still dry and despite our shock and displeasure at what we found...how could we not praise them?! A sanitized room and four loads of bed clothes in 24 hours...I think they are finally asleep.

But, they sure are cute. Here are a few of the rare pics from Thanksgiving.

Jordyn's 2nd Birthday

Our baby is 2 already! On her birthday we had a quiet celebration at home. She was SOOOOO excited about having a birthday. India enjoyed the treats and presents, but had to learn the hard lesson of someone else having a special day. Thank you everyone for helping to make Jordyn's birthday special!!!

Making her birthday brownies.

India gave Jordyn the gift she picked out.

Jordyn was excited.


This cord only made it attached until the evening. India thought she should cut it so that the bone was separate. Target graciously took it back and replaced it with a new one.

An evening at our house

Jordyn went down to play in the basement all by herself. When we went down to see her, she had prepared a feast for the family.

She was so proud!!


India was busy playing with her sticker book. More stickers always end up on our bodies than in the book.


Jordyn wore this neckwarmer on her head or around her waist for a few days straight.


The girls getting ready for bed. They always get wound up before they wind down.

Fall Fest

This has been a very exciting week for the girls. They have gotten to wear their costumes on a few occasions and have had much more sugar than they are accustomed to. This weekend was beautiful in CO, 70s each day. We painted pumpkins and attended our church's Fall Fest Sunday night. The girls thought it was so silly that we were going to church twice in one day, but they loved it! Jordyn was walking up to people saying, "I'm a lion, ROARRRRR!"

First Parent Teacher Conference

We met with India's preschool teacher today for a conference. It turns out she is the same sweet, delightful girl at school she is at home. Her teacher told us how caring and compassionate she is and how she is good at articulating her feelings. She said that she is doing very well for just being 3. She knows most of her letters and makes attempts to write her name. She is working on drawing people with the head and arms in the right place, holding her pencil(or marker) correctly, and using scissors. Our little sweetheart! We are so proud of her!
