Some new "firsts"

We had a couple of new "firsts" today:
1. Blythe got undressed and dressed completely by herself. She started by taking off her pajama bottoms then her panties. She went to pick out some clean panties and actually brought back "normal" Happy Feet ones and not the giant plastic training pants she usually tries to pick out and tries to get me to let her wear. Anyway, this is all as I'm changing Ethan's diaper, so she goes back to her room to get some pants and comes back with some brown pants that were hanging in her closet. I still don't know how she got those down. Anyway, she put those on by herself. Then all of us headed to her room to pick out a shirt. She wanted to wear the Cookie Monster shirt (because navy blue goes so well with brown). Now came the hard part...she actually was able to take off her pajama shirt and then put on her Cookie Monster shirt. Of course it was backwards, but still...great accomplishment!

2. Ethan ate a "banana puff". They are those Gerber graduate cherio-type things that basically dissolve as soon as they go in your mouth. Even knowing this, it was still a bit scary. There's always the chance he could basically inhale it and choke. But he didn't and he did good (and I think he liked them). I tried to see if he would pick one up and feed it to himself. He tried. Almost made it into his mouth, but he dropped it on the floor. So that's another first....first time feeding the dogs. After that Juni wouldn't leave him alone for the rest of the day.

We didn't do too much today. We (actually Braden) did get the garage re-organized so after we get rid of the pile of trash in the garage we can park both cars in there. Blythe and I went to Walmart to get groceries. Just the girls (or GAYLES as Blythe says it). We'd go down every aisle and Blythe would find something she wanted and say, "Mommy I want that...can I have that?...yes or no?" As if "no" were an acceptable answer. Instead if I say "no", she says "but I WAAAANNNT it". Hmmm...still "no".

All in all it was a good weekend. We didn't really have anything planned and took it easy, which was nice. Aunt Laura comes tomorrow to stay for a few days, so that should be fun.
