Annikah

What can I say, she's a beauty, isn't she?

Here are some Anni updates. We started potty training her when she started preschool, when she was three. She was pretty well day trained when we moved here 2 years ago, but totally regressed after the move. We've been focusing on the potty training for the last couple of years and she's been doing great. She's been wearing underwear to school for almost the whole school year and the last few nights we put her in underwear to sleep in and she's been dry, Hooray!!

We've just been laughing about some of the things she's said lately. I bought her the dress she's wearing in the picture in November and she started wearing it to church then. The first time she put this dress on, she said, "Ho, Ho, Ho, I'm Santa." Then she said, "Mom, come and sit on my lap." We laughed and laughed.

Last Sunday, we were watching the closing ceremonies of the Olympics (we DVR'd it). To preface this story, you need to know that Anni watches Jacob play a lot of video games and some of them are shooter games. His current favorite is Star Wars Battlefront for the XBox. Anyway, we're all on the couch, watching the closing ceremonies. On the screen, we see thousands of men playing big round drums. Then, all at once, thousands of women wearing dresses and hats covered in bells run into the stadium. Annikah looked at me and said, "Are they going to kill them?" We laughed and laughed. That's kinda sad/scary that she thought that was what was happening, but funny too.
