Addie

I stole this picture from Kayla's blog.... but I just LOVE this girl.

Potty

Last night, while getting Addie ready for bed, Scott asked if she needed to use the potty. Of course, she says yes... (she always wants to sit there, push, and possibly get out one tinkle or a toot)... but as she was pushing, out came a poop! Wahoo! I know, weird to post about, but it was her first. Of course, she was rewarded and hopefully the excitement of the potty doesn't end soon. I would love to stop buying diapers!

And a side note, Addie let me paint her toenails for the very first time. She usually HATES anyone getting near her feet, but after watching me paint my toenails, she wanted it too. So cute.

Updated Bathroom

So we finally did it! I dragged Scott all around the neighborhood until we found a color we liked (Scott likes to see it before trying it) and we finally painted the half-bath! Now I am going to start on the kitchen. Hopefully we can get the whole house painted (at least two toned and a few accent walls) before he starts school in August. Here are some pics (courtesy of Kayla):

(The pictures don't really do the color justice... it is a light blue)


(Pictures are hanging on the biggest wall, across from the toilet and sink):

Oh, and notice the stool... Scott made it at work. Of course, plastic! But it comes out like the primary stools do, making a small step. Addie loves it.
