The New Doll House


Mom surprised Bridget with a kitchen for her doll house, so I felt I should finish her house at least.

yesterday I finished Modge-podging the "wallpaper"on the walls out at Mom's. After bribing Bridget to clean up her messes and help me, we finally brought the house home where this morning we found some carpet and what-not for the floors. Now we just need some beds, dining room, and living room furniture! Bridget doesn't care, she loves it. Apparently TinkerBell does too!

Hop Aboard the Potty-Train!


In our opinion, Bridget is well over due for the ride. Josh started telling her yesterday that if she went "stinky" (since poop to her is both 1 and 2) then he would take her to McD's. She was very excited about that idea. However, she hasn't been to excited about the "stinking" since she is used to hiding whenever that happens. After telling Dad last night that she had done it, and Josh coming to me to confirm, I felt so bad when I said no then Josh told her "maybe next time" and she sighs back, "yeah, nes time."
Today, I was determined. I sat her in there in the morning, and yes, she threw a fit, but she got excited when she peed. I reminded her that was awesome, but not what we were trying for. Two more fights to the "train" and finally, I left the room reminding her she needed to make "turds" (yes, gross, I know!) I stand down the hall watching in a mirror. She is very distracted by the rug, the t.p. blowing in the breeze of the heat vent, the cupboards, anything and everything. Then just like that she freezes... looks down in her potty, giggles, and says "TURDS!"

Congratulations Bridget.... Keep it up!

Big Help


As of late I have been noticing how much of a big girl Bridget is. She insists on dressing herself, even if her shirt is on backwards and inside out. She asks to help even when I'd rather do it myself. She came out of her room the other day laughing at herself cause she was is a big tube walking around.

Only if she was potty trained...
