Toddler Bed!




 Ella!


 Savanna!

We are transitioning to toddler beds today!  These pics were taken before we put the rails up.  Boy were they excited that they can get into their beds by themselves!  After they each tried out their own bed then they both wanted to go in their sister's bed together.  They just thought that was the greatest thing in the world!  Tonight should be interesting.  I have to admit even though they are old enough for this change I am a little nervous about it all.  I think maybe because they are my first and they are growing up!  Well wish us good luck tonight.  Hopefully we are all able to get some sleep!

Potty Training and LeapPad!

We have officially started Potty Training!!!  It is exhausting times two for sure but I hope we will have some positive success soon!  The first day we had a lot of accidents...I mean a lot!  But there was light at the end of the tunnel when Savanna peed a little and then did the rest on the potty!  I was so happy for her and she was excited as well.  Then the afternoon brought more accidents but now on day two she was successful again.  She doesn't make it fast enough yet to do it all on the potty but she is starting to get the feeling.  Ella has not yet been successful yet as far as making it to the potty but hopefully it will happen for her soon too.  The girls received a leap pad for their birthday and in-between potty training we have been using it.  They seem to really like it and their parents like it a lot too.  It has so many learning activities and it is something else we can use besides the computer games we already do.  It is so nice to have it especially now when I am trying to keep them in one area while training.  Hopefully we will be potty trained soon!

 Here comes the cupcakes on the train!
 

On the girls real birthday we were planning on taking them to the zoo which I try to do every year but it was really cold and rainy.  So instead we took them to the train restaurant which they enjoy too!  Savanna ordered chicken nuggets and Ella wanted mac and cheese.  They also enjoyed a birthday cupcake with a vanilla shake!  The girls of course had to ride the train there for a couple of rides.  What a fun birthday dinner!

Happy 3rd Birthday!

Family Pic!

We had a family party over the weekend for the girls third birthday.  The girls had a fun time celebrating their day princess style.  I had so much fun planning this party for them and it was so exciting to see how they really enjoyed every detail of it!  As soon as they woke up in the morning they pointed out the princess tablecloths and said look mommy at all of the princess'!  It was so cute!  Ella even proceeded to name all of the them for me as she pointed to each one.  It was so nice to share their birthday with everyone who loves them too!  I can't believe they are three already!  I love seeing their little personalities come out and I enjoy hearing them talk so much!  It is amazing how much their vocabulary has grown and how much they already know.  Happy 3rd Birthday little ladies!  We love you!
