During breakfast this morning, when papa was walking out the door for work, Grace says, "I want papa to take a big dump at work."

What?! My sweet precious girl unduly influenced by her father!

The kids and I spent the day at home recovering from the 3 day weekend. We had a relaxing day and spent most of the day outside playing on the playground, dipping our feet in the pool and picking fresh hydrangeas. The weather in LA has been gorgeous! It's going to be a great summer!

I just downloaded a xanga app. Hopefully I can now post pictures directly from my iPad.

There is so much handsome in this house lately!!!  So much handsome!!! 

Happy Mother's day to all the lovely mothers out there.  I got the best gift of all for Mother's Day.  Grace is fully and completely potty-trained!!!!  I never thought the day would come.  But it's true!  How did it happen?  Well, after her third birthday I made a big deal about how she's not a baby anymore and that she doesn't need to wear diapers.  I told her that from now on she was never ever going to wear diapers again during the day.  For three whole weeks she made lots and lots of messes.  It was the hardest time for me ever, dealing with a 9 month old and her pee/pooping everywhere!  But thanks to the consistency, it finally clicked in her brain and one day she said those words..."I need to go pee!!!!" She has not looked back!  What a great feeling to finally have a daughter who is potty trained!!!!

Brother also gave me a nice gift.  He started sleeping 10-11 hours straight a night!  Hope this lasts.  I think I'm slowly getting my life back.
