So.... here goes!
First off I'll share some pics of how well Aspen enjoyed her day! She was not a fan of any rides except the carousel! It was the ONLY one she didn't scream on!
Ava of course had to try the rockclimbing wall she found.... practicing for her future occupation of "rockclimbing girl".
This pic is from one of the days mommy had to work and daddy made breakfast... the "baby" pancakes were a hit!!
Last but not least a certain someone decided all of a sudden to quit sucking her thumb. As much as mommy wishes we could take it back, she had been promised a puppy if she quit. So as you might guess, here is Ava with her new puppy Jessie. Jessie is the puppy who has finally quit crying through the night but still poops and pees where she pleases.... if we ever get this dog trained I will be surprised. If anyone has any tips I'm accepting any advice I can get. I think one of the main problems is the lack of consistancy from us.... but you know, my kids take priority of the dog, as well as sleep. It's one thing to get up to take care of the girls, but to let the dog out at 3am... sorry Jessie! But the girls do love her, Aspen loves to "hold her", but I'm pretty sure the puppy runs from her usually!!

A puppy really is like another child. Only one that can't tag along with you into the grocery and other places like that!! Great seeing you Tuesday!!
OH Brandy...those pictures of Aspen make her look like a little drama queen! LOL! (I'm laughing with you, not at you because you know I have two of my own that can be the same)
YAY for AVA stopping sucking her thumb! Megan was the same age when she stopped sucking her's! I'll have to show Griffin the post b/c he still sucks his finger...I haven't tried any persuasion with him yet..good thinking!
This seems silly, but my mom potty-trained her dog with a bell attached to a string hanging from the door knob of whatever door she goes out to potty. Every time she would go out to potty my mom would take her paw and hit the bell. When she was done, she would come inside and get a treat. After about a week or two, Maggie (the dog) started ringing the bell by herself and my mom would immediately stop what she was doing and take her out and then give her a treat. Classical conditioning, but it works great! Good luck!
