Like this:

When we head out the door to go somewhere, we usually make Skylar use the bathroom first.. You know, to avoid the situation where she says “I need to go potty” immediately after we enter the highway…

Skylar’s been a really good sport w/ this rule (even when she thinks she doesn’t have to go).. One trick we learned lately is that if we say that all of us (including Mom/Dad) have to use the bathroom before we go,  she’s even more amenable to the practice..

Of course this started to backfire the other day, as Skylar now likes to script the order of who goes to the bathroom and in what order..

“Mommy, you go potty first.. Then I (Skylar) go potty.. Daddy, you go last because you always make stinky’s and smell bad.. If you need go now, go use potty upstairs and Mommy-Skylar use dis one… “

*ouch*

Here’s a pic I forgot to post last week from our California visit..

“Uncle Jamie” teaching Skylar how to play “angry birds” on his phone..

The weather has been awesome lately, so we hit our local town beach for a few minutes today..

It was really nice out.. but the water was COOOOLD!!!!!

This new microphone thingie has been driving me nuts.. and I’m thinking about hiding it somewhere (or breaking it)..

This morning, Skylar stood on the back-deck and yelled “Itsy Bitsy Spider”, “This Old Man”, “The Alphabet Song”.. and several other “hits” into this microphone for about 25 minutes straight..

Skylar is so good at so many things.. But she’s definitely inherited her mom’s singing voice..

This was Skylar’s audience.. Yes, Fenway did end up howling .. “A-woooooooo!!!!!”

Have a great week!
