the kids

since potty training kate, she has been waking up unusually early. she used to be a sleeper, but this last week she has been waking up at 6, 6:15, 6:30. not cool. yesterday morning, it was 5:40 "moooo-ooom. moooooooo-ooom. mooooooo-ooom. i have to go potty." on the positive side, dry diapers at night, which is something that her big brother has yet to accomplish. go kate!

speaking of which, yesterday was kate's second day completely accident-free! yes folks, that means we had poop in the potty. we celebrated with a family dance party the other night after dinner. exciting times here with the pié family!

also, since potty training started, i've noticed kate thinks she's now 13 and has started calling jesse and me "dad" and "mom". what?! you're 2! oh well, it's pretty darn cute to hear, so i'll let it slide. i've also noticed over the past few days, jacob has been calling her "katie". double cute. it's kind of nick-namey, and nick-names to me are a sign of affection, so i am gonna go out on a limb and say jacob likes his sister. they play well together for the most part, when jacob isn't taking a toy from her or closing the door on her. yesterday i found them up on her bed singing the little einsteins theme song as loud as they could. it was an adorable moment that i wish i had caught on camera.

Oooo...nice background...it looks like you! I could have told your kids "like" each other!:) j/k! So proud of Kate and so glad you didn't give up!

Way to go on potty training! We're hoping to do that with Sterling in the next couple of months, too. Don't worry about the nights with Jacob, my boys struggled with that the longest - never an issue for MJ - go figure.
Congrats on entering your 30's! Sounds like a fantastic weekend!

I'm so proud of them. I noticed when we skyped last that they were getting along and even commented on it. NICE! Keep up the good parenting. Love you all.

Way to go Kate (and mom)! One of the best moments I've had as a mom was celebrating Anne's poop in the potty. The things we never knew we'd do!
