Spring Concert (March 2012)

Ellie had her Spring Preschool Concert in March.  We could not wait to see how she would surprise us this time.  At her Christmas Program she blew us away with her performance.  Well she did not disappoint this time either ;-)  She actually was the star of the show.   People were coming up to us after the performance & at a local sandwich shop, saying they could not even watch their own kid becuase they couldn't wait to see what Ellie was going to do next!!!  I hope she wasn't a distraction but the girl just loves to dance and when she starts feeling the music there is nothing stopping her.   The director had to sit Ellie down a couple of times because she had her own personal solos while her class was suppposed to be  sitting & the Big Kids were singing.  The concert was Down By The Creek Bank & the kids had to dress up in something representing Spring.  Ellie dressed up as a butterfly! I have posted alot of pictures below becuase they all are sooooo priceless!

 Autumn, Saxton, Ellie & Tyler

 Miss Holly the music teacher told us that doing rehearsal Ellie decided to help her direct the kids!! 

 Making sure she holds up the correct counting fingers for Five Little Speckled Frogs while holding her boyfriend Tyler's hand.

 Notice how the rest of her class sitting, as they should be!!!

Potty Training 2/16/12

Potty Training!!!!  While Ellie was out on Winter Break from school I decided it was time for the dreaded Potty Training.  Ellie has been quite aware when she has dirty diapers - she has been taking them off when they are wet.  Soooooo I took this as my que to go for it!  We did the 3 Day Method which I have heard people talk about.  You don't leave the house for three days give them lots of salty snacks & water.   Well that is about all I knew of the method, I did not read the book - I just winged it (probably should have).  By the 4th day I told Adam she is NOT ready & I was tired of the constant battles and cleaning up!!!!!!  Ellie woke up that morning and said she wanted to wear her Princess underwear, which I was not allowing her to wear until she made to the potty the majority of the time - needless to say I was over it all, so I said "Fine you can wear them if they get wet you are going back to diapers (I am almost certain that is not a part of the method!!).  Well the wearing of the underwear and me OVER IT was the golden ticket it finally clicked at least the peeing part :-)  Proud to say she is potty trained except for nap & night time diapers - next battle!  Love Love the picture above sweet sister encouragement while Big Sissy sits on the potty!!  A sister is by your side for all your BIG milestones in life.
