A most perfect evening :)

I don't think AK and I could have had a more perfect evening together. We put stickers in AK's new Dora calendar from Uncle Chris and family (and put the pictures of the cousins on the fridge), we played outside with chalk, we had a good supper of chicken in tomato sauce and noodles and a bit of cheese, we had a couple of people stop by to pick up things (the only downer of the evening was when AK cried to see some of her stuff being lent out), we watched a Dora video, had a great bath (including washing / rinsing hair, brushing / flossing teeth) and off to bed. No fits, no tantrums, no discontent. AND THE BEST PART!!! Three pees on the potty, all initiated by AK, all in lots of time, and all successful!!!

Wow. I hope I didn't jinx myself :)

Putting stickers on the calendar. AK didn't really want her picture taken, as you can tell from the look on her face. But LOOK! No pull-up (yeah, I know you can't really see but I'm excited!)

Artwork from this past week. Top left is "tearing and pasting" with toilet paper, top right is a snowman (apparently his name is Frosty), bottom left is a coloring of a jacket and bottom right is a craft made at church on Sunday. Thought you all might like to see what AK makes!

Big big exciting news today - John Christopher was born just after midnight today to Christie, Chris and big brother Mack. He is 8lbs 1oz and apparently a sweetie. I'm a bit under the weather so didn't go visit today but hope to take lunch to the happy parents and meet the baby tomorrow.
