A Week? Really?

Well, as you can see from the lack of posts, it's been a busy week. Last Friday we met with Diane (my Mom's best friend) and her sister, Carol and took them to Ko Olina for the day. It was another beautiful day at the beach and as always, it was wonderful to see them and catch up. I spent the weekend cleaning and doing laundry and preparing for a busy week.

Monday I had a meeting in the morning and caught up on errands with both girls (Ella and Lahrissa) in tow. Tuesday was off to gymnastics and then a doctor's appointment for Ella and I to see about this nighttime coughing... we were both given inhalers to help our congestion and should be all mended within a week. Ella, is learning so quickly, so many things, she continues to amaze me. She has a mask and tube for the inhaler medicine and will hold it to her face, breathe in and out (shoulders rising and falling) for the 6 breaths. Such a grown-up little girl!

And finally, this morning I took the girls back to the YMCA on base for the morning playgroup. I'm busy enough, might as well take advantage of the free energy burning they get to do. We also half-heartedly started potty training today, I put Ella in some underwear and let her watch the "Potty Power" video a few times. I'm not worried, I'm going to let her initiate the interest (though the whole removal of poopy diapers in the crib is getting on my nerves!) She asked for the potty as I was getting her pj's on and sure enough she went into the bathroom, on her own while I cleaned up a bit, and peed! YEAH! Ron predicted she would walk before her first birthday - and she did, do we dare say potty trained by 2???
