Elena decided last week that it was time to potty train. We sort of knew it would be on her terms. Once she had her first successful pee, there was no looking back. Anna did an awesome job with her on Thursday and Friday- only one accident Thursday and none on Friday. Mom and dad had big shoes to fill, but saw a huge success Saturday morning with a successful #2 and an accident free day.
Today she got to put pants on... so far so good. We'll see how this goes. What a big girl.

We've Got a Sitter!
From nothing to mastery in 24 hours. Little man learned to sit today!
His change in perspective has made him inspect all his play mat friends in a new light.

Super 'Nena Starts School
Whirlwind decision, but the stars aligned and we were able to enroll Elena in preschool this week. We toured the school on Monday morning and it became apparent that if we didn't enroll immediately she wouldn't get a spot. So she claimed the very last spot the two year old class. Today she strapped on her Elmo Pack Pack, and marched right up to the front doors.
She is going to Streetlite Christian Child Development Center right here in Federal Hill. She'll go on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8:30- 11:30 am.
If you ask her what she did today she'll tell you she met the kids, and they color-colored, sang songs, had circle time. I think she may be sad when she realizes she doesn't go back until Thursday.
Goodness when did she get so big!

Eat, Roll, Jump
Busy week for little man. First, he had his first bites of real food. Mom's having a hard time keeping up with his demands and he was telling us it was time to add more to his diet. We tried some green beans, but decided to pull it back to oatmeal. He seems to like that a little better.
He has officially mastered rolling as well. Front to back, back to front. Rolling around the room. He just gets upset when he rolls off his play mat and onto the hard wood floor.
His new favorite place to hang out is the saucer. He'll stay in there forever. As he works on his army crawl and jumps around in the saucer he was having traction issues with his socks so we bought him his first pair of shoes. They are pretty spiffy.

The Nutcracker with Nana!
Nana kicked off a new tradition with Elena this year. On December 5th, Nana, Mom and Elena rode the Charm City Circulator up to the Lyric Opera House in Mount Vernon to see the kid friendly version of the Nutcracker. One hour, with narrator. Perfect for kids. I think that Nana may have enjoyed it more than Elena did.

Daniel Meets Nonna Belardo
Daniel and Elena took a trip to Pheobe Home in Allentown to visit Nonna Belardo this weekend. Nonna had been staying there for a few weeks nursing a broken pelvis. Daniel's smiles brought cheer to all the residents there!
