Poop on the Potty!

She announced she had to poop, leaned up to the potty like Rory, so I put her on and wouldn't you know she actually pooped! She is 19 months old. Could it be possible that I could get her out of diapers by age 2???? A friend of mine said that if you catch them interested before 2 you can get them trained. Oh glory.

38

It's my birthday today and I'm officially 38 years old. It sounds so old when I type it, but I feel the same as yesterday. I think birthdays don't phase me anymore. Ask me again in 2 years...maybe I'll change my mind.

Joe and I had a beautiful dinner at Menton (Barbara Lynch's new restaurant in Boston that just got Top 10 best new restaurant in the US by Food & Wine) last Saturday with friends. We are attempting to get away this coming Saturday for a quick overnight in Maine - York, Ogunquit maybe? Other than that, I think I'll have Joe grab some take out chinese and hope he was kidding when he told the kids we were having broccoli cupcakes tonight (although honestly, I love broccoli).

I had my brother up for a quick visit this week and he and the kids had a really nice time together (Rory especially who had a Star Wars battle partner and got 2 new guys from Uncle Mike). He doesn't have kids and Joe and I were just talking about how different our perspectives on life and everyday living were pre-kids. I don't even remember...I really embrace getting older and feel wiser, more experienced, and more open to differences and change as I go.

Yeah me.

Kellys 1st Tooth!

Tooth #1 popped out today!! I felt the bottom 2 middle teeth making their way over the last couple of weeks. It's hard to see in there b/c she smiles ALL the time and is constantly sticking her tongue out and covering them up. But, this morning, when I dropped her off I had mentioned she didn't sleep well yesterday/last night and her caregiver suggested that maybe her tooth had popped through. Lo and behold, 1 of the 2 broke out! I will TRY to get a photo later, but who knows if that is even possible. I'm sure the 2nd one is not far behind. Shelagh didn't get her first tooth until 7 mos, but Rory got his at 4 mos and was finished with all but his 2nd year molars by the time he turned 1. Yeah Kelly!!

I haven't started food yet, but I'm thinking I'll start cereal in a few weeks after our next 2 weekends of trips are done. She'll be justs shy of 6 mos, which is later than I started cereal for the other 2, but she's doing fine without it, my little sausage legs.

This is Kelly not letting me see her tooth. By the way, the 2nd one popped by the time I picked her up at the end of the day!
