Cold Stone
Elle had her first experience with Cold Stone ice cream and she LOVED it! She was pretty quiet while she ate...always a good sign. She then got up and did some booty shakes and dance moves and entertained the entire Cold Stone customers. It was really fun!

Valentines Day
Elle had a very fun Valentines Day! She really understood the concept of Cupid...bringing her presents. It was hillarious! We woke up and she found some cute dresses, a light up heart necklace and an Aurora Pez! She LOVED her gifts from cupid.
We met Daddy for lunch at our favorite sandwich place, Caruso's! Elle was FULL of love and kisses!
We ended our day playing at the library and finding some good books and movies to check out!

We then made pink heart pancakes!
Daddy had beautiful roses delivered to Mommy!
Throughout the day we found out where Nick was and gave him little treats. We heart attacked his car while he was in court, dropped off some goodies in his car while he was at school. It was really fun and made our day FULL of Valentines!

Decorating cupcakes
Elle had her friend from church, Lynden come over to help decorate cupcakes. They did a very good job! LOTS of sprinkles on those mini cupcakes.
We then went later and dropped them off at Daddy's work for his office staff to enjoy!

Open Gym
Elle has been going to open gym at this really fun Gymnastics Center. She LOVES it so much. A full hour of jumping, bouncing, somersaults and running! It is a great way for her to burn some energy too!

The BANDAID!
Elle burned her finger on the skillet about 3 weeks ago. We immediately put on a PRINCESS bandaid. Whenever that bandaid fell off, a new one went on. When it fell off, a new one went on.
She would FREAK out if it came off...hysterical! We let it go on until all the bandaids were gone.
That was tonight! We took it off of her in her sleep.
Elle comes into our bed around 6:30 every morning. Nick and I were waiting to see if she noticed. Sure enough, about 5 minutes after laying there, her finger went up and she just starred at it.
She got up after a while and started FREAKING out that she needed another bandaid on her finger, but we were DONE with the bandaid issue! So she walked around for about 2 hours with her whole left hand completely unable to do anything with it. It was so funny!

3 Day Potty Training
From the advice from TWO trusted friends, I purchased the 3 Day Potty Training e-book. I cringed at the thought of spending $24.99 on an E-BOOK, but I knew my cousin Kate, and my old roommate Erin, wouldn't steer me wrong!
Day 1- February 4
The morning started as usual, cereal and juice, watched Curious George. When it was time to get ready for the day I had Elle go get me a diaper from her diaper drawer. Well when she looked in the drawer all her diapers were GONE! There were new panties and a fun potty chart. I told her we had to give all our diapers away to the babies, and she seemed fine with it.
Well.. does this little girl have bladder control! She held in her pee for 6 hours! And this was after drinking 4 cups of juice and two cups of POP! She was so scared of going on the potty. I kept praying she would just release, either in the potty or in her pants. Well, it ended being in her pants. We ran to the bathroom and the remainder of her pee was on the potty. From that time forward she just got better and better! We ended up having 11 very minor accidents for the rest of the day. I went in and checked on her before I went to bed at 11:00 and she had wet her panties. We got up, went to the potty, got changed, and she stayed dry until 7:20 the following morning!
* My favorite part of the day was how she would talk to her pee.
Here are some awesome phrases from Elle:
" Come on pee"
"Come on out pee pee"
" Time to play pee"
" Go swimin pee"
" Come play with the pool toys pee"
It was hilarious and provided a MUCH needed laugh!
Day 2- February 5
We got up, went potty, had our cereal and juice, and the day went awesome from there! She had 2 very minor accidents! She did amazing. Went to bed that night at 9:00 and woke up at 8:00 with DRY panties.
Day 3- February 6
Honestly I could have taken her out by the time. She was on the ball! There were times I was focused on something else or talking to Nick and she just went in the bathroom and started setting up her potty chair and potty stool.
On Thursday was our first adventure out of the house. I had to pick my location carefully since Elle gets distracted easily. I thought about Target, but she loves that place too much and is WAY too distracted there. So we went to the grocery store and got a few things and walked around.
She went pee before we left which was awesome! We were in the store for about 40 minutes and as we were leaving she told me she needed to go potty. So we did!

Daddy and Mommy are so proud of Elle! She has picked this potty training business up like nothing! She enjoys feeling like a " big girl" in her princess undies that she loves so much. She LOVES washing her hands....loves it! We couldn't have asked for a better potty training experience!
