Potty Time

We have embarked on a journey that is quite exciting around here. Potty training!! It's only exciting because Maggie gets to wear pull ups that "look like panties" and have Dora and Boots and Backpack on them. She gets a sticker and a juice box when she pees/poops in the green potty (found in her own bathroom) and we dance around like Dora the Explorer and sing "We did it!" (if you have not seen the show it's extremely repetitive). Maggie runs away from the potty every time she pees in it. I'm not sure what is freaking her out about it. But she always comes back and wipes her bottom and washes her hands. Yaaaah, Maggie!!

Washing hands is a big part of going on the potty!

With the ever exciting juice box!

SANTA!!

Maggie was SO excited to go and see Santa Clause and tell him what she really wants for Christmas (a baby with a bottle and teddy bear and soother!). So we waited in the long line at the mall to see the jolly old fellow. He was super sweet to her. She did not want to sit on his knee (because what kid does? that's weird) but she was excited to get a gift from Santa (colouring book) and tell him "Merry Christmas Santa"!!

Family Photo

Maggie would not smile for ANYTHING! Our friend Josh was being hilarious and she wouldn't crack. We don't have many recent family photos so this will have to do.

Kinda BIG

33 or 34 weeks. Something like that. Let's just say "the uncomfortable phase"!!
We had not taken any photos of this growing belly, so I thought we had better document.

This is a strange camera angle...
