random word translation:
"memenaide" = lemonade
"hop-a-roo" = kangaroo
"bite-a-mims" = vitamins
and, a cute story:
the kids and i were putting together a puzzle the other day and i said to natalia, "boy, jameson is pretty good at puzzles, huh natalia?"
she replied, "yeah, mommy, and i'm pretty too!"

burning ring of fire...
this wasn't the best take of her singing...she'd had just about enough of it. but, still cute, nonetheless. enjoy!

potty training
i'm going to say this very, very quietly so as not to jinx the situation...so, listen very carefully! :)
natalia has been in "big girl undies" during the day for two days - without any accidents! :)
we've tried on a few occasions to get her to potty train...she just wasn't interested at all. and, she didn't seem to get it. so, we waited.
on saturday morning, on a whim, i asked her if she wanted to wear her big-girl-dora-undies. she didn't scream and stomp in protest, so we tried it. we did what a friend suggested when we were potty training jameson and set the timer for every couple of minutes to "try" to go. she didn't pee for a couple hours of that...but then eventually did on the potty with no problems. then, she was playing in the living room while i was in the kitchen (jim and jameson were having guy-time outside)...suddenly she says, "i have to go poopies." and, marches her little self right to the bathroom. as i get there she's ready for me to put her on the throne. she squeezed out those little turds and was SO proud of herself! i was darn proud as well! :)
today went much the same (minus the poo...seems today was an off day?). no accidents or incidents to speak of. of course, we were quarantined to the house because i dare not take her out in public yet. i don't trust that she'll tell me when it really matters - like in the laundry detergent aisle of walmart. i'm sure not complaining, though! (it's cold out there again, anyway.)
man, i sure hope it's really this easy! ok, now shhhhhhhhh...and i'm going to knock on wood...
