Since Sunset Beach:New windows, splash park,pool, had many play dates and Potty Training!



Sarah with Fancy Nancy Crown after she earned her potty treat of Reese's Cup.








Since we got back from our beach trip, we have gotten new windows, gone to the splash park and pool, had many play dates, gone to the library, and have started potty training.

We got our new windows put in the week we got back from Sunset Beach. Its has made a huge difference. Our AC doesn't have to run as much and the house is quieter. You don't hear every car pass by! Its been great!

We have enjoyed going to the pool and splash park in our neighborhood. We have a great splash park within walking distance of our house. We have met friends there and have had a great time. Sarah has really enjoyed the pool, she likes to swim around and jump into the pool. She will start swimming lessons later this month. Sean really enjoys splashing and kicking his feet in the pool.

Sarah has really enjoyed getting together with her school friends once a week, doing various activities such as Kid N motion, parks, etc. Also She has had fun playing with neighbor kids and other friends. We have enjoyed taking picnics to the pool or splash park with friends.

My parents have been here for two short visits. On the latest visit we went to the library and checked out books. Sarah and Sean both are doing the summer reading program. Both kids have read 12 books so far. Sarah and Sean both enjoy reading!

This past weekend, we crowned Sarah a big girl with a Fancy Nancy crown. (Target now sells Fancy Nancy accessories) Sarah is now wearing big girl underwear and is doing really well with using the potty. She only had one accident on Sunday. Her incentive to become potty trained is a bike with training wheels that she will get to pick out from Toys R US soon. She can't wait to go shopping for it.

Sean is now scooting on his belly pretty fast, so the gates will go up tonight. He is also talking more with saying Mama, Dada and other sounds. Its fun to hear him talk since he sounds like Sarah,but with a deeper voice.

Our next trip to see the sites in the area is to Baltimore, MD to see the Aquarium with Tutu Gail and Grandad Phil on July 26Th. We are looking forward to the day trip!
