Almost There

Based on my last post I did not jinx myself and we've continued with pretty good success. Maddie has been great with using the potty over the last month. We've transitioned into underwear at home 100% of the time and she is only using pullups at naptime at school. Now that is not to say that we haven't had any accidents because we do but she's getting better at recognizing when she has to pee and staying dry till we get to the potty. I'm so proud of her because she was 3 months shy of 2 1/2 when we switched her into underwear and she has done great.

In other news we have been doing quite a bit of traveling on weekends and that will continue through the end of the month. I'm hoping at that point that it will quiet down and we can get into a normal spring time routine while the weather is nice. 

Last weekend we spent the weekend in Philly which was great. The weather was nice and the wedding we went to was a fantastic time. Maddie got lots of quality time with Grammy Sue that she doesn't typically get to have as everyone is competing for her attention while we are up in NH/ME.

This weekend we are heading up to Rehoboth Beach and then we have one weekend free before we head up to NH for easter weekend. Should be a good time and it's the first easter in probably 5 or 6 years that we've been there. Jym's family is coming down for the weekend so we'll get the chance to see almost everyone which is great. 

I'm sure I've said it before but the hardest part of living in Virginia is that we don't get to see family as often as we would like. It would be nice to be able to just jump in the car and see them for the day or for dinner but unfortunately any of our visits will be at least 3 days due to traveling. Flights make it easier to make those quick weekends but it does become expensive rather quickly especially considering now we have to buy 3 tickets as opposed to 2. It is what it is and we make it through ok. Lots of phone calls, skype and as many visits as we can manage make it easier. 

And because it's been a while here's a picture of Maddie from a photo shoot we did back in December. One of these days I'll put a picture of her that's more recent. :)
