Happenings with Abuela Ruth

I haven't had a lot of time to update the blog while my mom has been visiting (too much shopping) so I thought I would make one entry with some of the things the kids have done and said while she was here...

* Benjamin went POTTY for the first time yesterday July 16, 2008!!! Can you believe it? He is definitely a big boy. Don't get so excited though I am far from done with diapers. We have started sitting him on the potty so he starts getting a feel of it and after I did he pied. Was it done with purpose or just a plain accident I will never know but we celebrated anyway!!!

* Adreana is going to sleep on her big girl bed tonight for the first time. We bought it yesterday and Jorge went to pick it up and assembled it this morning while she was away at Mother's Day Out. I have to tell you about my conversation with her this morning. Upon entering her room to get her ready, she waved her hand toward her toddler bed and said "mama, look at my bed". I immediately went to check to see if her bed was wet but when it wasn't, I said "Yes, we need to make her bed" To which she responded "Mama look at my bed it hasn't changed." By now I was perplexed so while I made it I said "Do you need me to change the sheets" (while looking for wet spots) She immediately said "no mama, look at it, it hasn't changed, it isn't my big girl bed!" So as you imagine she was pleasantly surprised when she got back from school and found a big girl bed in her room!

*My mom used to call me honey bun when I was younger and for some reason decided to try and use this name with my daughter. Unfortunately for her my daughter did not like it one bit. She immediately responded "I am not honey, bears are honey." Although I have to say that it must have worn on her because by tonight she was calling Benjamin honey.

* Abuela Ruth bought the kids real crocs and not just any crocs but the disney crocs with mickey mouse's instead of holes. Benjamin loves his so much he wears them all day. The first day he had them he would look at the holes and say mouse over and over again. Benjamin got yellow and Adreana got green (her favorite color). I must say he is now taking his nap with them on!

*Adreana has decided that her papa is the best papa in the whole wide world. Make sure you get that it is the whole wide world because she won't let you leave it out.
