getting ready to go at rita's

the birthing group...now toddler group

me and my friends! from left to right--me, ezra, boris, jay, maya and henry

it has been a very busy holiday season...we have had several parties at our house and gone to several more. my favorite was when all the birthing group came over to play. we had sooo much fun. i also went caroling on sunday. i love to sing falalala--i clapped a lot and the best part, and i am still talking about it...is the FIRETRUCK. we sang to the firefighters and they let us climb on their truck...it was so neat! We also recently found out that mama and papa's friends eliz and doug and chris and lori are both expecting at the same time--so we are very excited for them...2 new little friends for me to play with. and no, mama says this is NOT inspiring her to want to make me a little brother or sister. we are super excited for the whole hayes clan to come visit this week and are very sad we will not see the crawford clan or GG or any of the other relatives. life is good, we are happy. oh, and mama decided to hobble me instead of get me a big boy bed, so my very own little sleeping bag is in the mail...which she hopes will prevent me from throwing my leg up over the crib. Oh....and the biggest news...I am pretty regularly going on the potty. I am not telling people I need to go very much, but I go pee-pee on it before bathtime and sometimes I sit on it because mama puts me on it, and i pee then. And at Miss Franny's house I have gone pooh on the potty 2 days in a row. Mama and papa are not actively potty training me because I cannot pull up my own pants, but it is nice to be trying and collecting lots of stickers because of it!
