We really haven't done a lot this week other than conduct Potty Training Boot Camp (more on that later), so this is just going to be a blog of random things.
Is this backpack not the absolute cutest thing?? I meant to add this to my blog about Baby Gap and forgot to load the picture on there, but really want to show you how adorable it is. It isn't like Juliette needs any more bags, but it's tempting to buy it because it's just so darn cute!

Look what I've been doing this week and I am SO OVERJOYED that I have gotten these done! Sure this doesn't look like a lot and it's because this isn't all of them. A lady ordered 15 custom made towel wraps as late graduation gifts. Custom made means that not only did I have to monogram them, but I also had to sew ribbon on them, so it took a little time. I thought they turned out really cute, though. (On a side note, who buys graduation gifts for ALL of their daughter's friends? I'm not complaining because it was the biggest order I've ever gotten, but I just think I'd have to draw the line at like only her very best friends or something like that if it was Juliette!)

Wanna know what Juliette has been up to this week other than potty training? Well, she's almost 3, so we thought it was about time she started doing some chores around the house, so we gave her mowing duty. Just kidding! :) This is a bubble mower, that doesn't shoot bubbles like it's suppose to. You can read more on how she got the mower and see a video on Matt's blog.

And now for the BIG news! We "think" Juliette is potty trained!!! (Knock on wood!) Here she is showing off her big girl panties. We started off Monday with just putting her in panties and taking away the Pull-Ups and she has only had two accidents this week and the last two days she's been telling us when she needed to go to the potty. We have been putting her in Pull-Ups still at nap time, night time and when we go out, but she's been doing great at going to the potty in public and not going in her Pull-Up. Now, poopin' in the potty isn't coming as easy and I thought I was about to have a constipated kiddo on my hands until she decided yesterday that her tummy just hurt too much and she broke down and went in the potty, so we are happy about that! I think she's still a little unsure of that part of it, but she definitely got the hang of peein' in the potty. She is almost 3, so it's about time, huh? Of course, I guess we did bribe her quite a bit between an array of Dollar Tree toys and candy that I put in a basket on the back of the potty as a "grab bag" for every time she went, as well as the promise that if she pooped in the potty we'd take her to the movies today to see the guinea pigs (G-FORCE movie), so I guess that might have helped a little!

And, since my other camera still hasn't been fixed, I had to use my video camera to take the above pics and since I'm just down downloading this video, I thought I'd share it with you guys. It's a hoot! It was from this past Christmas (notice how much hair Juliette has grown in just 7 months time) and it is of Matt, Uncle Chad and Juliette playing Rock Band while my niece Madison looks on. Matt is playing drums, Uncle Chad is playing guitar and Juliette, well, she is the singer! I laugh everytime I play this video and this is the way she sings EVERYTIME Matt lets her play Rock Band with him, although recently she's been partial to playing the drums, which is cute, but not nearly as entertaining as her "singing"!
