POOP.

Monday night Rubi pooped for the first time on the potty. When Neil and I were jumping up and down over this huge accomplishment, Rubi said "Stop, I smell".

She has been doing really well going to the bathroom lately. To encourage her even more, we took some of Grammy's advice and bought a bunch of small "prizes" (stickers, jewelry, books) and put them in a bag...when Rubi goes on the potty she gets to pick a gift out of the bag.

No pictures of the poop itself, Neil discouraged me from taking them, thankfully.

Day trip.

Friday, we took a trip to the Aquarium in Baltimore.

After the aquarium we let Rubi pick out anything she wanted from the gift shop...she grabbed this turtle and has not put it down.

We finished the day with some much needed ice cream.

On a side note, Rubi used the potty the entire time we were in Baltimore. We're hoping it doesn't take a trip out of state to make potty training successful.

Bash for Bobby.

A few weeks ago we attended a "Bash for Bobby", for a little boy named Bobby that was diagnosed with cancer. Rubi had a great time, and spent most of the night on the dance floor (her favorite thing to do). Yes, in the picture below Rubi has a bloody nose which is due to her second favorite thing in the world, picking her nose.

three heads.

Rubi still loves to draw, usually she draws our family minus Cooper. Well, we just assume the three heads with melting eyes are Mom and Dad...cute right?

Kirby.

Tuesday was the first day of our "staycation". We celebrated the break with a trip to the park.
