A Trained Monkey or Two

So about a week or so ago I declared Victoria officially potty-trained! Yay! No more diapers...for her anyway. She does have a few accidents every once and a while, but I'd say she's pretty good. What did it take? Lots and LOTS of stickers. Particularly the green ones. She has taken a liking to green and always wants a green sticker.
And, Mikayla is now crawling! She's not crawling on her knees all the time, but she does sometimes. She mostly drags herself everywhere, but I don't care. I'm just glad to see her moving about finally. Now she can at least try to get the stuff she's not supposed to. :)

4 years

Tomorrow will be John and I's 4th anniversary. Yay! We made it! I guess 4 years isn't really that long, but when you consider that 41% of first marriages end in divorce in the US I'd say we're doing pretty good. :) We will be going to eat somewhere (ask John where) and then we're going to watch Harry Potter! I'm way too excited for this movie seeing as I'm 24 and probably shouldn't be dressing up like I'm going to Hogwarts, but you're only as old as you feel I suppose. So let's just pretend that tomorrow I'm really 11. Besides, I've been waiting way too long for this movie.
Anywho, I have discovered that 60% of second marriages and 73% of third marriages end in divorce in the US. So, basically...if you don't get it right the first time your screwed. I think people just expect to marry the perfect person and well, I hate to break it to you guys, but that guy doesn't exist! John and I have had our fair share of good fights, but I think we both realize that everyone makes mistakes and that helps. If only everyone could do the same, maybe we'd all have better relationships...so, here's to marriages! Mazeltov! And here's to Harry Potter finally coming out...cheerio!

Poker Face and frogs

Victoria's favorite song right now is "Poker Face" by Lady GaGa. Whenever it's on the radio she sings it and at home she dances to it. Here's a video of her dancing to it and if I can get a good one of her singing it I'll post that too. We think it's funny.


Also, Victoria is still learning to pronounce things correctly (of course) so things come out a little wrong sometimes. The other day she was watching her Baby Einstein DVD and saw a frog on there. She started screaming "Frog! Frog!" Not a big deal usually, but when Victoria says "frog" it comes out sounding a lot like a vulgarity that I'm sure you can figure out. Well, for some odd reason instead of just saying "Frog!" she was saying "Frog me!" So of course we all turn to look at her like "What did you just say?" And well, yeah. Oh the joys of motherhood and translating for your daughter.
