Oh.My.Goodness.

Here's how it went down:
-I'm in the office, Livy is watching a Care Bears movie (or so I think)
-I hear the toilet flush upstairs.
-I think, "Oh my gosh, she just flushed something down the toilet which does not go there."
-Then I think, "Oh my gosh, there's someone in the house!"
-I head upstairs where I can hear the toilet running.
-Livy is naked from the waist down, trying to get her panties and pants back on.
-I said, "Did you just use the potty ALL BY YOURSELF?!"
-Livy looks at me like I'm crazy and says, "Yes, I'm a big girl now."

Wow, she certainly is a big girl now!

On another note, Wes and I left her all night for the first time this weekend. Of course, she was fine. :) Big step for us, though!

Mommy's Day!

We had a good Mommy's Day weekend. The three of us went to the Oklahoma Aquarium on Sunday (and ate at Jason's Deli!). Livy liked the sharks and the shark tunnel the best. She also enjoyed touching the starfish at the tide pool petting exhibit- I think she would have stayed there all day! Livy's playhouse is coming along, I think it's taking longer than they expected. Livy's still pretty excited about it and about inviting her friends over to play in it. :) Current obsessions (mostly related to the pictures): opossums (there was one in our yard not too long ago, she then convinced Nanny to buy her one!), temporary tattoos, rain and getting inside before it rains, playing shopping, Jackson (two of them- her cousin and Megan 's son), Aubrey from school, going to the doctor, painting, "Robin Hood" cartoon, Nemo (just the character, not the movie), having friends over, decorating sugar cookies, gardening, and ice cream (pink, blue, or orange only). I never dreamed that having a child would be so entertaining! The three of us went to the Community Imagination Studio a few weeks ago- it was great!
