That would be what Rori is wearing this afternoon!  :)She's been going potty in the potty chair everytime we put her on it, but she's not loving it.  She'd much rather just go in her diaper. :S  Since I don't have anywh

Potty Prizes!

Do you remember a post from April of last year about our confused tree (one of the many we seem to have on our property, but we won't go there, this is just about the confused cherry blossom/cherry tree)?We weren't sure what we wanted to do a

Randomness

Tuesday, 23 June 2009 7:58 A GMT-07
Rori had a rough morning yesterday.  She kept fighting with Cadi and whining to me.  Finally, after not eating her lunch, I told her that if she didn't want to eat, then she needed to just go lay down and take a nap.  So, she did!&
