BIG NEWS!!!

Cooper went pee pee in the Potty!!! YAY!!! In the past few days he's taken to removing his own diaper but I haven't really pushed the whole training stuff. Today I just pulled out the little potty chair and left it in the kitchen and after one of his striping routines he sat on the potty and said "Pee pee potty get candy." and then got up and lo and behold there was the pee! Of course we cheered, danced, threw a small parade (after proper permits were filed) and ate our hearts content of M&Ms. It was a magical moment. Of course, being a Yarsley man, he did it on his own timeline, when he wanted and did it perfectly. Those guys...sigh.

Post pee pee eating his candy. He wasn't shy when I let him stick his hand in the jar and pick out a piece :)

In other news, we had a movie night on Friday (because that's what we do) and it was time for a girl movie. We watched the "chick flick" Tangled (don't let Jonathan fool you though because he likes that movie) and had some fun afterwards. Last winter I bought these lantern things from a West Valley fundraiser and since it was finally dark at night, we lit those bad boys up. It was really quite pretty and if you get the opportunity to do them, you should.

They were deceptively large. The budding pyromaniac in Cooper was fascinated. 

He's really excited about all things that fly, especially things on fire that fly.

And here's my menfolk. They all got the same hat and therefore think they are the coolest kids on the block. Which is true, since they are the only kids on the block.

And in other news...

Harpie has pushed through two teeth since my last post. And, Lord help me, she's also learned how to grind them together. Egads, it's an awful noise and often times it's so bad that Jonathan has to put her down and walk away. Wimp. But here's a cute little thing for you to nibble on until I get some nicer pictures of her...

Harpie this afternoon. 

Isn't it nuts how cute she is? I'm totally unbiased.

I hope you enjoyed the update!! 

XOXO,
