cars and dragons



Allison recently went through a major "Cars" phase. She watched the movie almost everyday, and she loved playing with Matthew's "Cars" toys.

One morning I walked into the living room to find her doing this:










She had balanced all the cars on our shutters. Now she is on to "How to Train Your Dragon". She loves the movie (and even quotes it), and she loves listening to the soundtrack so she can act it out and fly around the living room like a dragon. She will even climb up on a chair and say "I'm a Monstrous Nightmare!"









What happened to being into princesses, fairies, and dress-up like her sister? She may be my first daughter to have a dragon birthday party!

adventures in potty training



I have been determined to focus on potty training Allison. These pictures show just how well we are doing:










I think we have a long way to go.
