Since this is Addie's blog, I thought I'd post an update on Addie. It's hard to believe we are only a few weeks away from her 3rd birthday. The last three years have just flown by. She's growing up too fast!
She is doing really well in her big girl bed. We've had a few nights where she's wandered out after we put her to bed but it hasn't been bad. She loves being able to get in and out of bed on her own in the morning and after naps. She's not getting quite as much sleep as she was when she was in the crib so she's been a little more emotional lately.
She currently loves to make things- especially anything involving paint, glue and/or cutting.
She loves playing with her friends, being outside, watching Curious George, reading books, going to the library and story time. She has a very active imagination-- she is always telling me that her friends (usually not real people- Mickey, Curious George, Daisy, etc) are coming to our house and she even goes as far as to go out on the porch and call/look for them!
She also loves her dogs (pretend ones). They are like real animals to her and she talks to them, calls for them, takes them for walks with leashes just like they are real. Today she made this house for them while I was working on something on the computer!
She has developed an obsession with tools and we don't know where it came from. Whenever she sees the tool box she has to have something out of it so she can go fix things. A wrench or screwdriver can keep her busy for hours! Every time we are near the toy aisle at Target, she insists she needs this tool kit!
We are proud to say she is completely potty trained! No more pull-ups! All underwear, all the time! She has even started just going in and going to the potty without us some of the time!
For some reason, she has started adding an l to her th sounds- so every time she says thing (and I've noticed she says it a lot), it comes out "thling". I'm not sure why she started doing this. It sounds so funny.
She has been spending some time with a few of her friends and with Grandma so I can go to the Dr. and have some free time to get some things done! It's been nice! Thanks to everyone who has helped out with her!
She is excited to be a big sister and can't wait to meet her little brother!

Congrats on the potty training. That is exciting, just in time for the baby. Perfect. It wasn't fun having two in diapers. Cute update!
Elise and I were looking at pictures, and Elise saw the picture of her bed and said, "Look, Addie has a big girl bed like me!"
