We headed to Abilene Friday morning to see the Richardsons, and to celebrate Kaylee turning FOUR!! I can't believe that is possible. I can still remember walking up and down (and up and down) the halls at Abilene Regional with Kara at 10pm timing her contractions and laughing with her. We were anxiously waiting in the waiting room to hear the news. Tim came through the door with a huge smile and said Kaylee Grace was born! She was a tiny little thing and holding her made us realize how much we wanted our own baby.
I am so bummed that I didn't get my camera out one single time during her penguin party. So bummed.
But, for your viewing pleasure, Brad did get the camera out to document this:
We brought along Mallory's potty to make it as "normal" as possible (but really, when you are sitting on a potty in the back of a car, what is normal??). On our way home Saturday, Mallory said her bottom hurt and she needed to potty. Perfect! We're driving 75 mph on Highway 36. This is very convenient:) So, we pulled over, put her on the potty, gave her some "privacy" and let her try to go. Luckily Morgan was happy, or we wouldn't have persevered. It took 25 minutes, but Mallory finally pooped on the potty!!!!! We all did a potty dance for her and she got to eat some pink ice cream after dinner (yes, I'm aware she'll probably ask for that everytime, but it's worth it in our book...the girl has issues with poop). And, even better, she pooped again after her bath! Woo hoo! Yesterday was a good potty day.
This morning, we thought we'd attempt church. I took Mallory to the potty right before her class and she went! Then, she went immediately after her class too...in the potty!! We attempted a shooey before nap, but didn't quite make it in the potty. It's a process, this potty thing. Two steps forward, one step back. I can handle it...today:)
Morgan been a little neglected on the blog with all this potty business. So, here's a new face she learned over the weekend!! I need to get a picture of her and Mallory doing the "surprise face" together.

Way to go Mallory!!! Can you come back and teach Brooke?? Thanks again for coming to the party!!! I will email you some pics of the party in a few minutes (hopefully!).
YEAH Mallory!!!! Way to go!
Yay for the successful trip! You are right about 2 steps forward and one back. You'll survive, though. You are both doing great!
Woo-hoo Mallory! She'll so kill you for that picture one day! :)
There is seriously nothing wrong with pink ice cream for anything. We used M&Ms with Joshua for potty training and he isn't hooked for life and doesn't ask for them constantly! She's doing great and she's mastering it quickly. Hang in there!

Love that picture....it's funny what we will do for our kiddos!
You know...it's become a common thing recently that when I read your blog, I think...some day, down the road, those girls are going to kill her for taking those pictures (and posting them on the web). I do enjoy them though! ;) Precious!
Oh, my gosh! That surprise face pic looks just like one I have of Brad..I'll show it to you! And, I forgot to send you a check for the burp rags...so "it's in the mail!" I meant to put it in the girls' package but forgot! Sorry! I really wanted to send it ahead of time so you'd have some "seed money." Love yall!
Sounds like she is doing good. I think she's got it!!! I am ready for that. I can deal with accidents, but I am ready for the "get it" part.
