My Little Horn Blower~

First off, sorry Mia looks like a little trash baby but it was right before bath time last night and I had already stripped off her clothes so sorry for looking like a raggy baby.

Ethan is in band playing trumpet and he was practicing last night and he set his trumpet on the kitchen table. Mia climbed up on the table and below is how I found her.

She was totally blowing in the trumpet and it was making a little sound-- good job Mia!!


When she realized we were watching her she flashed a big smile and loved all the attention.

Being cute. Who knows-- maybe Mia will take after her mom and brother and play the trumpet!!

WARNING-- THE NEXT COUPLE PICTURES ARE NOT THAT ATTRACTIVE BUT TOTALLY FUNNY AND CUTE- PROCEED WITH CAUTION AND DON'T FLAME ME!!!


Mia is all about "mommy I pooped" but she really didn't. Last night after the trumpet playing she said she needed to go poop so I stripped her down to nothing- since she was taking a bath next anyway- and set her on the toilet.

Just to let you all know-- there are no pictures of areas to be concerned so don't freak on these pictures. Mia sat there and looked intently like she wanted something to happen then she started with the toilet paper and she loved that. She thought she was so grown up.

And here she goes.
She was so proud of herself but really did nothing more than sit there and then put toilet paper in the toilet-- oh ya and she flushed.
A little early to be potty training but hay if she wants to sit there then it is good by me.
The boys meanwhile were playing outside with their swords from Medieval Times. They were having a blast.

On Guard!!!


They were using anything as weapons-- very creative with what they found-- I think Owen has a tree stake.

  10. I love Mia's expression and smile when she realized you were watching her play the horn...just priceless!!! OH...and I would be JUMPING FOR JOY with her wanting to potty train! That's AWESOME. Sophie was trained right between 12 and 18 months. She was SO EASY. Silas, on the other hand...didn't train until 3 years and 3 LONG MONTHS!! I was SO GLAD that he finally got it!! :) Looks like the guys are having a great time playing outside too...great imaginations!!! You just have a beautiful family!! LOVE IT!!!

  12. Christy,
    I just posted about Rowan's potty obsession and then I read your post. We are living parallel lives on different sides of the US. I almost posted a photo of Rowan too because it's where she wants to spend all her time. I kind of think she likes to be in there because we make a big deal about it and cheer when she goes. I also sit and chat with her and read her books. She is by no means potty trained but does go about 50% of the time on the potty. Baby steps I guess.
