New Year

So we can officially say Isabella has the potty thing down. We've been accident-free for a week and she's a happy underwear girl. Very odd not to get little blue bags back from day care every day. She's very proud of the stickers she gets when she uses the potty at day care. She can actually do all the pieces, except empty the potty out in the toilet (although she wanted to). She likes to close the door to the bathroom, too.

We've been insisting that she go up and down the stairs herself. Even though she says "I'm too lazy to go up the stairs." Of course, when motivated... I was sitting on the couch, and she went away, and eventually came back with the Jungle Book DVD. Which was, of course, down the stairs in its box.

Our favorite new pastime is she lies down on the big sheets of paper and we draw her outline. Or hands, or feet, whatever fits on the paper. She also likes us to draw crying faces, for some reason. 

Mama is, apparently, cooler than Santa. Or so says Dad, who asked. 

She went through a period of calling me Cindy and Bill Bill. So I guess she's got the name thing down. She's also still asking to visit Casper Doggie and wants to pet Magic Doggie again.
