Anna Claire's 3rd Birthday

Anna Claire had her birthday party this morning at build-a-bear! She had 8 little friends come to celebrate with her. They had a blast!

It's the little things....

Anna Claire after I bought her 1st pair of ballet shoes. Her 1st class is next week. This is what big girls get to do that wear "panties". By the way, she is fully potty trained, poop and all!
My heart melts when I see my daughters feet in ballet shoes, you know, it's the little things. I'm so thankful for her. (In all fairness, I got the same feeling when I saw Drew's little, fat feet in cleats for the first time)
I wonder how many times I'm going to have to tell her class isn't until next week??????

He's in love with the girl!

This is Drew and Anna Grace riding home from school together (we carpool). They are very much in love, even Mrs. Moss told me today that "he had it bad for her". I can see why he likes her so much, she is very precious.

See what I mean about the cute girls, we had only been in the room less than 5 minutes.
Already hard at work.
This is Mrs. Moss standing over him, she is lucky to have Drew!

Drew's 1st Day of Kindergarten

I knew this day would come when he didn't want to kiss me anymore, just didn't think it would be this soon.

We all survived our first day of school! Drew was extremely brave and very happy to see some cute girls in his class, he has already claimed 2 of them. I'm sure he will make his rounds. Mom was really brave also, I didn't even shed a tear knowing that I'm leaving my favorite boy with complete strangers. He has a great teacher that is very upbeat and happy and that helped us all. We look forward to this journey Drew is about to travel. We are so proud of him! I love you Drew-bug.

Titans Game

Girls will be girls! Thanks Aunt Cindy for the invite to the game, we had a great time.
So glad the game didn't cramp little miss Anna Claire's style and she was still able to get her manicure.

Potty Training in Progress

I'm in the process of potty training Anna Claire and she is doing great EXCEPT the poop factor, which happens to be very important. Today is Day 8 in panties (we skipped the pull-ups) and she's about got the pee peeing but she has yet to poop in the potty. I know what your thinking and yes, it's been very gross, that's why I need you help.....Any suggestions on how to get her to poop in the potty??? Please help, she starts school in 1 week and I really would hate to do that to her teacher. Thanks!

His reward for being a big boy was a day at Chucky Cheese and this is what they looked like when they left.
