I cannot believe this is the last day of 2008! What a wonderful year it's been! Brooke truly makes us stop and realize how precious life and all things in it are....
In the two days since my parents left Brooke has almost gotten back to 'normal' and for those of you with kids you understand this statement. Brooke gets used to undivided attention because Grandad & Granny OR Nana & Paw can tag team her the entire time they are here.....then they leave and suddenly she realizes she doesn't have MY undivided attention constantly.....but she does make it interesting to say the least.
I have finally made myself start potty training boot camp for Brooke. My mother has always said that potty training is up to the parents not the child, and I have been so lazy in this regard....maybe it's easier for me to not have to find a public restroom, which I avoid anyway?! We have had a lot of successes....then a full day of no successes....but I refuse to give up. I am not going to be changing her diapers when she's five! ;o) I told my cousin that she will learn to pee every time she hears a bell ring thanks to our handy dandy timer.
Below are some pics I thought were cute of her and my folks when they were here this past weekend.....
Brooke adores her Granny.....and vice versa of course.
The 'small' piano she received for Christmas (this girl LOVES anything to do with music)...
And the guilty culprits that buy noise making presents and leave.....
Have fun tonight, be safe and hope to hear from you all in 2009!!

let me know what works the best for you while potty training! i'm the same way with addison...its so much easier to just let her wear a diaper & change it! i too have felt lazy in this regard. so keep me posted on what works & what doesn't and maybe we can accomplish this feat together!
