a good start to the week

A lot's happened since the last post. It was Mommy's and Mimi Jan's birthday, Mimi Tammie came to see me, and it was Easter!

We went down to Chicago a few weeks ago, and surprised Mimi Jan with a birthday party. There were lots of people, many of whom I didn't know, so I stayed close to Mommy and Daddy...and occupied myself with the phone camera.







We had an Easter egg hunt around the house outside. It was a little windy.

And, this was the one that I pushed down the pipe! We got to teach daddy a little bit about plumbing ;) and he did a good job fixing the pipe after he and mommy fished out the egg from by the heater (that would not have smelled good!).

Then we went to the zoo. The animals were all enjoying their Easter baskets and eggs!

Daddy had a work trip, so Mimi came to visit, and I took her out to eat. We played with my stickers while we waited for our food.

I also was very good and helped mommy with some chores. :)

And then when daddy got back, we went to eat at Michael's with some friends. I had to help daddy finish his (chocolate) shake.

Mommy and daddy started to give me 1 M&M each time I do my duty on the potty. I had a good start to this week - Monday evening I went to sit on the potty and got two M&Ms. I also used the big boy potty at school three times! Then, Tuesday right when we were getting ready to go out the door to work and school, I told Mommy I was going poopy. So she helped me sit on the potty, and I got another M&M!

I'm starting to talk even more, if that's possible to believe. Some of my favorite phrases are:
* Not yet
* Okay
