So Connor has had a big summer so far. 1. He’s talking a lot (finally!). We actually know what he wants/needs most of the time, which is a big step forward. 2. Big deal! He’s almost potty trained (the fact that he actually acknowledges the toilet and will sit on it was big enough –…
And when it’s not been rainy this summer, we’ve spent as much time outside (which never seems to be enough). This is definitely the summer of swinging, scotters and swimming pools. In particular, I was really proud of Cailee at the swimming pool. We were on a playdate with McKinley and Cailee wanted to jump…

We started swim lessons this winter and it’s really paying off. The kids have turned into little swim bugs. They LOVE the water.

The kids both attended VBS twice this summer, same program, different churches. At Aldersgate, there were plenty of young-ins. At Pleasant Green, Connor was it. And boy did he milk it. Every day, the church posted pictures and Connor stole the show AND was always on someone’s lap or arms. I waffle myself, on one…
So funny story, Cailee and I showed up at Miss Isabella’s 7th’s birthday party, a glamorous tea party (I must add), only to find that her and Cailee were decked out in the same exact dress. I can only surmise this is because both Melanie and I have the same fabulous taste in girly dresses…
