Vroom

In potty news, I don't remember the last time Evelyn has gone on her big girl potty. It was just a phase...unfortunately. But she does understand the concept. Last week we put her in her new big girl carseat in a dry diaper. While we were strapping her in she said, 'potty'. By the time we got to the babysitters not even 5 minutes away, she had gone #2 in her diaper. There have been other times where she has pointed to the bathroom or says 'potty' so we try and put her on but she cries. Then pees when she stands up. So...we'll have to figure out another route in potty training.

Her vocabulary is growing by the second!! A few of the many new words are sock, shoe, duck, nose (and knows where it is), ucky, Mom (instead of mama), and please and thank you and knows when they are appropriate which is awesome. So many children don't have common courtesy anymore. So I'm glad she is polite. Another word is vroom. She says this while she vacuums....all. day. long. Levonne gave her a vacuum cleaner for her birthday and it is suddenly her favorite toy! Friday we even had to take it to Grandma Nancy's because she refused to give it up. She loves to think she is helping us and it is quite adorable to watch. She keeps her new house very tidy...
