This Girl Is Potty Trained

....almost.  She is still wearing diapers at night and naptime, but she is doing so well during the day!  I can't believe how fast she caught on to the whole thing.  I was so nervous about potty training her because she drinks SO MUCH WATER.  I thought if we ever went out anywhere we would have to stop every 20 minutes to find a bathroom!  But that hasn't been the case.  She still drinks tons of water but she learning extensive bladder control.  She hasn't come to terms with pooping in the potty yet but all in all she's doing a great job!



Every time she went potty she got to "bedazzle" her potty poster.  She loved putting the jewels on.

The Gigantic Patriots vs. The Patriotic Giants

The Superbowl hoopla is in full swing here in Indianapolis.  Even though I'm not a huge football fanatic it is awfully exciting to have the Superbowl here.  I can't even imagine how crazy it would be here if the Colts were in the Superbowl.  Luckily the Colts decided to stay as far away from getting into the Superbowl as possible, so no worries about any additional craziness.

Yesterday we all went downtown to join in the big game festivities.  I love going to things like that.  Even if there isn't much to actually do, it's just exciting to be a part of all that energy.  The biggest attraction downtown is the zipline the city put in just for the event.  It's 80 feet high and runs 650 feet long!  Crazy exciting.  I would have LOVED to do it myself but the tickets sell out so fast and the wait to ride is about 6 hours...or so I'm told.  Even without the zipline thrill it has still be a pretty exciting week.
