Now that school is over, Cailin is officially done going to Children's Courtyard daycare. Next year Cailin will be attending the daycare at Caney Creek High School much to her Daddy's (and our wallet's) excitement. So here are some of the pictures her teacher took during the last few days at daycare. We plan on taking her periodically during the summer during Mama's doctor appointments so she can still see her friends once a week.
This is Cailin's best friend Bree. They are so cute together. When Cailin visited this past week during Mama's doctor's appointment, they were so excited to see each other. Cailin never even noticed that I had left. It's so cute to see her very first real friend.
The week after school was out we took a short trip to a waterpark in Tyler and then to Burleson to see Grandma. This picture was taken right after her bath and yes she's giving you a little peep show.
I don't have any pictures from the Tyler trip because I seemed to forget my camera every time we went anywhere. The best day was the day we spent out on the boat. Cailin became braver and braver and even started jumping off the boat into the water, with a spot from Mama and Daddy of course. We also went to a drive-thru safari which was a lot of fun. We fed all kinds of deer, zebra, and cows from all over the world. Mama even got molested by the biggest camel we had even seen, again. Let's just say we are glad the camel didn't try to eat Cailin since he was bigger than our SUV!
Most days we played at Uncle Brad and Aunt Maggie's house with Brayden. Now that he is walking and more active, he and Cailin can actually play together. Cailin calls him her baby and runs around making sure he's not getting into things and brings him his cup if he drops it. She is sliding right into her big sister role with no problem. Of course she usually decides what he gets to play with and what belongs to her just like any older cousin would.
Love this pic...
Downtown Burleson for a little concert and ice cream. Mama had a delicious Wine-a-rita and chose to ignore the stares from people who clearly don't know what it's like to be pregnant in 100 deg. heat.
Yay bath time!
Here is Cailin singing "If you're happy and you know it" and "Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed". For those not versed in toddler speak, she's a little hard to understand but I think she demonstrates quite well.And finally the "ABC song", by far her most requested single. Of course she doesn't quite make it through the performance before she gets distracted.
This week we have officially begun potty training. We are at the end of our 2nd day and it's getting better. We've made it to the potty twice and we were ecstatic! Hopefully day 3 will be even better. She definitely gets what we are trying to do and has been excited about it but we just have a hard time getting all the way to the potty before the pee starts running down her leg. I know we will look back and laugh at these moments soon. Actually as I was writing this, Cailin came over to her potty and peed all by herself!!!!! This means she recognized she needed to pee, made it across the room and peed without even telling us. Ahh, sheer joy!!!!!!!!
As for pregnancy news, I am about to begin 33 weeks so we've made it 3 weeks further than before. We have mostly finished Chase's room and we are now well stocked in baby clothes thanks to Aunt Maggie. Chase is measuring about 4.5 lbs which is right where he is supposed to be at this stage so we are really hopeful things continue to go well. I go see the doctor every week so every appointment I make is great because that means that we've made it another week. Dr. Adam was a little concerned at my last appointment because the placental resistance was elevated which means that the blood flow to the placenta might be changing. She is going to continue to monitor it though. Fortunately my blood pressure has remained low so things are still okay we just hope they stay this way.
