January in Review

First and foremost we solved the "accident" problem by re-introducing the training potty and not trying to get her to go on the normal toilet. The kids have been taking baths almost every night and having a BLAST together. And this last week Brad and I went to "Death by Chocololate" where we tasted chocolate in the cookie, dessert, brownie, cake, and candy categories and scored which was the best. We left the kids with Shirlaine for the night and we had so much fun. Then we also went to an Elder's Quorum activity where we played bunco and left the kids in the nursery to be attended by 12 year old girls, also WAY fun. And then we also watched "Inception" which is our new favorite movie. It was warm enough to take the kids on walks this week and to go play at the park. Will was super giggly when I put him in the swing (it was his first time). We also got a lock for the bathroom door (finally, right?) and are in the process of putting pulls on the kitchen cupboards and drawers. Aside from dieting, this was a GREAT week. Here are other highlights from the month:

Brad has been teaching Ruth to play the piano with her fingers...here she is instructing her toys
Getting rid of the Christmas tree
She LOVES her daddy
Learning to play together
Playing with her "bugs" (Cooties from Aunt Tia)
