Double Potty TimeWe had a wonderful Labor Day weekend. Saturday evening, John and Jennifer Merriss watched our kiddos so that Michael and I could go out on a much needed date. It was nice to have a dinner with my husband where I didn't have to worry about changing diapers, running little ones to the bathroom, cutting up food and filling juice cups. It was nice to reconnect with Michael. Sunday, we spent the day with my family at my grandmother's house. My dad made an awesome meal of grilled corn, pork chops and squash casserole (yum, yum, yum!!). The girls and Braxton had a really great time playing in the backyard and running like mad kids after each other. What fun!! Then Monday, we spent some time with Michael's parents and the Merriss clan. The girls had such a good time playing in the playhouse at their Grandad and Mimi Sue's house. They also learned how to use a watering can while we were there. Now, they want "watie" (water) in everything so that they can water the flowers. It's really cute!! We had a great evening with the Merriss family (as usual). The kids played until they couldn't hardly stay upright any longer. As a matter of fact, both of our girls were asleep when we got home. I'm so glad that they enjoy playing with the Merriss boys so much!! It sure makes it nice to visit!! All in all, we had a great Labor Day weekend and were sad to see it end.
We are still working on potty training at our house. It is going pretty good. The girls have both got the concept down pretty well. We, of course, have accidents still, but we're working on it. We had one day over Labor Day weekend where Abby had four successful trips to the potty and Rory had three (one was a poopoo trip!!). The only major problem that we have run into is that Rory only wants her Daddy to take her to the bathroom. That would be great if he was home during the weekday, but he isn't. She also has a complete meltdown when she has an accident in her Dora the Explorer pull-ups. Whoever decided to put children's favorite cartoon characters on diapers/pull-ups that they will have accidents in has a very sick sense of humor. If she has an accident, she will go around the house crying "I peepee Dora. I peepee Dora." It's really sad, so we've decided to wait on the pull-ups until she has a little better control. We mustn't completely scar the child. Michael and I have started to laugh about the new conversations in our house. Most have something to do with our daughters' bodily functions. LOL. Being a parent is always an enlightening adventure.
All in all, everyone is doing well at the Hanna house. We have an appointment with Abby's allergy specialist next week just to check-up and see how things are going. So far, she seems to be doing absolutely fabulous!! This doctor seems to really know what he is doing. I just wish he was a little closer to home. I'm willing to make the trip as many times as possible, though, to help her feel better and start really growing well and consistently. Both girls are growing and have so much fun together all the time. It's so neat to watch them truly be each other's best friend!! I can't even begin to describe the special relationship the two of them have with one another. It's amazing!! God has blessed us so much with wonderful friends, family and two smart and beautiful little girls.
