Ok, so this picture has nothing to do with the today's topic of discussion. I just figured nobody really wants to see any potty training photos... We are extremely excited to announce that Mia is officially potty trained!! Last week Stacy decided that it was time to give it a whirl and so we made Mia spend an entire day with no pants, diaper or underpants. That's right, she was literally butt naked! Surprisingly, she told us when she had to go potty and caught on pretty much right away... We've had a few minor accidents in the past week, but it has really been surprisingly easy. Although I guess nothing should surprise us with this kid. She has made every step easy and enjoyable... The only time she wears a diaper now is when she's sleeping. Yeah, Mia!! She's such a big girl.
These were so cute I had to post two photos! So this was it, Mia's first real Halloween... At least the first Halloween where she understood what was going on around her. We thought that since she would be cognizant of the festivities that she would enjoy things more. Wow, did we underestimate the joy she found in trick or treating!! She was a midget on a mission. She was so excited to have her group of friends together that she could hardly wait to get rolling. We had our annual Halloween gathering for the neighborhood, and all the kids went out together, escorted by the Dad's of course. After we all came back to the house to enjoy some more food and drinks, Mia decided she had to go again! So off we went. Finally, after an hour and a half of trick or treating, Daddy had to pull the plug on the venture and convince Mia that it was time to head home... As you can see, the planned Ariel costume never made onto her little body, as she refused to put it on. In it's place came Momma's creative pumpkin outfit! As Mia would say, we had Great Fun!
