Lost in a maze

This Sunday was a great family day. We set out to Escobar Farm in Portsmouth, RI. This is an 8 acre corn field that every year is shaped into something different. This year it was a cow. It was a pretty exciting trip and let me just tell you we hit more than 1 dead end. Emma had a blast running all through out the maze and hiding in the corn stalks from Mommy and Daddy. After we made it through we headed over to their pumpkin patch and picked some pumpkins. I thought it was especially nice that Emma had to pick a pumpkin for Pesky since he could not join us. I know some people are not animals lovers but Pesky and Emma are the very best of friends. There is not much that the two of them don't do together. So here are some pictures of the maze and our pumpkin picking.

Out of diapers and officially a big girl!

Well Emma has now been potty trained for 2 weeks and things are going great. She is officially out of diapers and wearing big girl undies all the time! A part of me is very sad to see her become such a big girl over the last 2 weeks but my baby is growing and that is something I must except. I feel like she has grown such a sense of independence over these last 2 weeks that it is so unreal. I am so proud of her and so proud our parenting skills. We have survived yet another milestone I thought would be impossible. Great Job Emma keep up the great work. Mommy and Daddy love you!

Potty Training Days

So we officially have started potty training as of Sunday. Sunday was a so so day and Monday was a complete disaster but Tuesday and today have been great. We have her in underwear all day except for nap and bed and she is staying dry. Trying to get her to pee is a joke but man oh man can this kid poop. She must get that from Daddy. Ha ha! I have this whole week off to establish a routine. I thought when we started on Sunday I was in for a really stressful week with lots of accidents but I must say this has been pretty easy. I could not be a prouder mother and have decided tomorrow we will venture out to do some fall shopping, let's hope for another great day. Emma I just want you to know how proud Mommy and Daddy are and that we love you so much.
