I want to be like you, Mom

Millie said those words Tuesday evening before she went to bed. She was referring to the fact that she wanted to wear panties instead of a diaper at bedtime, just like me. I was a little nervous about it, but she went to the bathroom 3 times before she went to sleep and I put a towel on the bed, just in case. She woke up Wednesday morning, dry, but didn't want to go to the bathroom. She finally went to the bathroom though (after a little crying and screaming).

Wednesday evening, same scenario. She used the bathroom several times and woke up dry again this morning.

I am super excited about that! It's time anyways. She will be 3 years old next Friday!!!

We now have new names

Instead of Millie calling me (Rebecca) "Mommy", she now calls me "Mom." She'll say, "Mom, can you come here?" Or, "Mom, I want a peanut butter and jelly sandwich."
And she calls Jacade, "Dada", "Dad", or "Dadaw". The "Dadaw" is from a book we recently read titled, "Somebody Stole My Tooth" by Tom Birdseye.

Easter Sunday

After everyone went home, she had cereal for dinner!

Hunting more eggs!

Playing with the water blaster!

Here are a few pictures from our Easter Sunday celebration.

Happy Easter!

Hope everyone had a happy Easter; we sure did. Millie hunted A LOT of eggs this year (she made up for the fact that she didn't hunt last year). Jacade and I took her to the Rock Ranch last Saturday, April 3, for Easter Egg hunting. We explained the object and when they cut the line, she was off! She picked up a lot but didn't go extremely crazy. It was really windy that day but I think she still had a lot of fun. We rode in a trailer attached to a tractor. It kept us from walking a great distance, or should I say, having to carry Millie a great distance.

Then, on Easter Sunday, we had a lot of family come over to play for the day. We had lots of food, fun and fellowship. Some people went out on the canoe, some played with their dogs while the dogs jumped in the lake and pond, some went fishing, and the kids (Sara, Will and Millie) played with water guns and bubbles. I think everyone went home tired and full!
