How you know it is time to potty train

1) Caelyn is telling us before hand when she needs to poop. It is time to potty train.
2) When Caelyn woke up from nap today, I found her standing in her crib holding out her diaper and she saying "Poop, yucky". I could already smell poop when I entered her room, so I did not know what to expect. When I got closer to the crib I found "black jelly beans" in the crib. It is time to potty training if you can take off your diaper and handle your business. I am sure you would appreciate the lack of photos.

A new project for us to work on :):)

Picnic

Caelyn has a small table and chairs and had a picnic with her best pal.

Trip to Cabela's

Everyone, especially my Mom, has been telling me to get Caelyn out of the house and go do something with her. So on the days of the week that she does not attend daycare, we are going to take morning and afternoon field trips. To test this out, I decided to go to Cabelas. I know it sounds lame, but we needed something to do. We had such a good time. There were a lot of animals to see. The fish were all called Nemo. The hogs were pigs. There were several Bambis. We even saw Bevo and Sonny (our dog). Caelyn threw a fit because Sonny would not come play with her.

Shoes

Caelyn likes putting on others shoes and walking around in them. She is actually good about determining the correct foot to put the shoe on.

Caelyn's first UT game

Caelyn attended her first UT game with her Daddy. She had a lot of fun. Of course we had to find her the perfect outfit and her Granny and Papa bought her the perfect shoes. She is getting really close to being able to do the make the Hook 'em horns sign. She played with other children in the stands and met a lot of people. She had a great time with her Daddy. She loved listening to the band and walking alongside of them after the game. She was also excited to see Bevo!!

Clown

To fill up our day, Caelyn made me a clown using some old makeyp I had.

Family Update

Well we are still here. At this point we will be here in Kyle/Austin until the end of the year. Chad is back and forth between Austin and Albany. He has several conferences in Houston, San Diego, and Lake Tahoe in between his trips. Caelyn has started attending daycare three days a week. I think it is good for her to be around other children to work on her social skills and learn from other kids. I thinks she really likes it. Plus, it gives us a break from each other. I think Caelyn wants to see someone other than me every once in a while. I am still trying to find a little part time job until we leave. I am thinking about trying substitute teaching. So overall we are all doing well. Caelyn is just growing up so fast. She is talking more. It is really fun to try to figure out what she is saying. She is working on learning her colors and alphabet. She still loves reading :):)
