Big Girl Panties...Day 4!!!!


We're in Milwaukee & have been since Saturday night. We'll be here for 2wks total. Adam is going to school for work. Headquarters for GE Healthcare is here. We stay at the Residence Inn in Brookfield. We love it here. The rooms are like apartments & they have a really good breakfast every morning & a "dinner" at night. The weather is BEAUTIFUL!!! We can actually go outside & play without dying of heat exhaustion!!!

On Sunday we went to Frame Park that Adam & used to go to all the time when we first met. There is a nice playground & a river that goes through the park. We rented a surrey bike & brought popcorn to feed the ducks. It was SO MUCH FUN & probably one of the highlights of Brooklynne's life so far...she LOVED it. We'll go back before we leave to rent a paddle boat.

Adam is in school from 8-5 during the week so Brooklynne & I have been finding things to do to keep busy. This morning we went to Barnes & Noble. They have a storytime a few times a week with songs, crafts, puppets & they read a few books. Brooklynne really seemed to enjoy it so we'll be doing that again. We also are going to go to the zoo & children's museum while here but I think we're going to do those this weekend so daddy can come too!

Now to the most IMPORTANT PART...today is day 4 in Big Girl Panties out of the house!!!! Something has "clicked" & all of a sudden she's decided to go on the potty every time & to let us know when she has to go!!! The saying of the day is "Mommy, do you like my big girl panties!?!?" My answer is, of course..."I LOVE THEM!!!!" We're so PROUD of her!!! Nothing cuter than a little booty in big girl panties running around the house!!! Clothes fit so much better too!!! She's had one accident each day, but so far today we're doing good....she'll get it down!!! YAY FOR BROOKIE!!!!

Another highlight...I haven't been sick AT ALL since we've been here!!! Not sure if it's because I'm farther along or because it's not hot here, but I'm LOVING IT!!! Hopefully it continues!!!

I'm sure I'm leaving out some stuff, but I'll post again when I get time.
