Our New Favorite Things to Do...

As of last week, my girls have found their own new favorite activities.  I am sooo pleased to report that Sophia's new favorite past time is GOING TO THE POTTY!!!  She is almost completely potty trained and I couldn't be more proud of her.  She hasn't quite gotten the concept of TELLING me when she has to go, but if I watch her every few hours she does the "wiggle and grab" as we have named it.  She marches with me to the potty emerges with a beaming smile after she completes the pee pee task...haha  She has only had 2 accidents in the past 4 days (one of which was my fault) and she is very emphatic that "Diapa for Buppa Mama, Phia big dirl unda-wea!!"

There is a mall near by that has a lovely little choo-choo train.  The train is kiddie sized and gives rides around the mall.  It really is super cute (but a major rip off I might add!! $3 per person and adults have to pay!!).  My mom wanted to treat the girls one day so we got aboard the choo-choo.  Sophia was thrilled right up until it was time to actually board the train.  She cried and yelled "NOOO CHOO CHOO MAMA!!".  I'm not quite sure what made her change her mind but she surely didn't want to ride!  Autumn on the other hand could not get enough!!  She took a ride with my mom and was in her glory.  She now gets overly excited when anyone mentions "the choo choo".  I hope she doesn't throw a fit every time we enter that mall now!! Here are a few pictures of her sticking her head out the windows.  I'd have included some of the proud potty power Sophia but these days she hides her face when I try to snap any pictures (hopefully just a phase).
