Update on the kids

It's a rainy Saturday afternoon.  Ellery is napping.  Walt is sitting next to me, chewing on his hand.

 

I'm eating a bowl of cherries (well not the entire bowl).

Just wanted to update the current potty situation.  Cary came home on Thursday and made this potty chart in like 5 seconds.  I would have made something a bit more pretty and I was under the impression it would take longer than 5 seconds to make, but whatever it's done and has been a success so far. 

The chart is mounted on the water proofing system for the shower walls in her bathroom, in case you're wondering what the orange background is.

Ellery made it to her prize today, an ice cream cone!  We are making a huge deal of no accidents.  She still gives us a little push back but some days you just have to go with it.  Last week was a tough one in the parenting department so we need a bit of celebrating around here.

Lastly here's a picture of the kids!

We took a family (minus Cary) trip to the pediatricians on Thursday. Here are the latest stats:

Ellery
27 lbs.
35" tall


Walt
13 lbs. 10 oz.
24 1/4" tall
