WOOHOO!

She finally did it.  Anna has ben interested in using the potty for a long time, I'd say at least 5 months.  I got her a potty chair and she will sit on it for hours, no joke over an hour at a time, but she never would actually go.  So tonight when she said "poop, Anna, poop" and headed for the bathroom I didn't think much of it but took her in anyway.  She sat there and pushed out some toots.  It's classic she grunts to show she's pushing.  Then she got down and played, got back up and pushed, down and played, you get the picture.  Then while just sitting on the potty talking to mummy and daddy out came a poop!!!!  We were all so excited.  She looked at it, let daddy wipe her, and then said "bye-bye poop" and flushed it down.  Then she wanted to sit more play more...next thing you know I here some tinkles in the potty, she peed too!!!!  

I am so proud of her. 

I recently switched her to cloth diapers and I think that has really helped.  Not only can she tell when she wets but she likes to watch us wash out the poops into the potty and flush them away.  I think that has helped her to understand that's what the potty is for.  

Now we'll see how long till she does it again ;-)

Piano

I watched Jenna on Friday the girls started the day relaxing on the Care Bear couch. 

Then they decided it was a hat day.  They played for quite awhile in Anna's hats. The hat Jenna was wearing kept falling over her eyes but she didn't care.  I had to mention it because I thought the pics were too cute.

Dad brought my sister's old piano to us today.  She is getting a new to her, nicer piano and my dad wanted Anna to have a piano to "play" with.   They barely got it in and she wanted the bench by it so she could play.  

She sat and played for at least 5 minutes.  I think it made it all worth it for my dad.  

So they played a duet.

Now I guess I'll have to get some sheet music.

Hair is genetic.

Gram, Granddad, and MacDuff came for a visit(my parents and their dog).  Anna was thrilled because she loves MacDuff, Granddad and Gram aren't to shabby either.  They brought with them some hand-me down toys from my sister.  Anna thought it was christmas all over again.  She got a Carebear chair and couch and a FisherPrice farm and circus.  She has only stopped playing with them long enough to eat and sleep.  

When my dad woke up this morning it was VERY apparent where Anna got her hair from.

I guess hair styles are genetic.

Last few days.

So I've been slacking on blogging, no big surprise.  Time to catch up.  Eric had 2 "snow" days last week.  So Anna had a big girl undies day.  No luck she still sits forever but doesn't go.

The next day was giggles and wiggles class which she loves.  But Daddy had to clear the ice off the car first.

Then she was ready to go

She made a mouse puppet

danced

and played

Then last but not least was the Super Bowl.  Dannette, Mike and Jenna had a party.  It was a lot of fun.  The girls had a blast.  Anna actually staid up for the whole game, probably because she wanted to make sure the Steelers won.  Of course, today she woke up and threw up all over her bed.
