in the midst of potty training, i realized that it was time to upgrade kate to a big girl bed. i didn't want to put her in the situation where she would have to climb out of her crib to go potty. so saturday afternoon we ventured to ikea to get her new big girl mattress (her crib converted into a full/double size headboard and footboard). this was kate's 1st time away from the house without a diaper on. a BIG deal for me. she did amazing! no accidents!
on the way home, we stopped to get some materials from lowe's and our car battery died. a kind person helped us jumpstart the car and we headed down colrain ave (never been there before) in search of an auto parts store. of course it was dinner time, so we grabbed a quick bite at mcd's and headed over to wait for 45 minutes while they replaced the car battery. we made a quick stop at target to get a quilt for her bed. and while i was taking kate potty, at target, my cell phone dropped in the toilet. in the pee water. sweet. thank goodness my phone partially floated, and thank goodness for purell!!!
we got home after having been gone for 6 hours (quick trip to ikea- yeah right) and discovered our fridge is not functioning properly and all the items inside are slightly warm. oh yay. calling the repair man first thing on monday.
today at church kate had no accidents again. she is such a big girl and i am so proud of her!
"kate, make a happy face to show me how much you like your new big girl bed."
