Night-time Vocalist

As of late, Juliet spends about an hour in her bed, with the lights out, just singing some combination of "Jesus Loves Me" and "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star". 

It is hilariously cute (for about the first three minutes....).


Potty Training (on the Army PT field)

Last week Juliet had her potty training breakthrough, for which we are all grateful! 

Her first few days of using the potty seemed so fragile and so I was afraid to go anywhere that we would not have easy access to bathroom.  So, on a few occassions I carried her little potty with us!


I may have been crossing some assumed Army rules, but at least we didn't have any accidents AND we all go a good workout!

Juliet, the cautious child

Juliet is in no way a daring child.  She never pushed the limites (physically), gets into things in the house, climbs things she should not, or makes me fear for her physical safety.  She is simply a cautious child. 

For the most part, this makes my life as her mother much easier.  But then there are times when I try to give her a little push to be just a little bit braver.  She will almost always work up to things, just in her own time. 

This week at the park she finally went down the "big" slide all by her self :)

Oh no, not ME!

I did not go with my family to the Melting Pot for dinner last night, spend $80, and then realize that I had grabbed our Chucke Cheese gift card instead of our Melting Pot gift card.  Oh no, not me.

And I did not ask our waiter at said restaurant, jokingly of course, if they accepted the card we had because we did in face eat cheese.  Oh no, not me.

While we were not discussing the gift card situation, my child would NOT pee in her pants (twice) and then proceed to drop her wet drawers in order to remove them right in the middle of a nice restaurant.  And my husband would not look at me (once we noticed our naked child) and say, "you taught her that".  Oh no, not in my family.

Of course we did not convince the manager to let us leave said restaurant without paying to drive all the way home and back with the gift card to pay for our meal.  Oh no, no one would ever do that.  Mind you, if that did happen, which it did not, then I'm sure they would require you do leave your I.D. and your credit card.  But that did NOT happen, of course.  Oh no, not to me!

School Party

Juliet Isabel went to preschool the morning of her actual birthday.  Micah and I took in cupcakes to her class in the afternoon so that she could celebrate with her classmates.  It was so fun to be in "class" with Juliet, her little friends, and her awesome teachers!







When it rains, it pours!
