Here is a video of Georgia...she found her pacifiers in her drawer and was trying to hide them from me. Then she breaks out into "Wheels on the Bus" about half- way through...Sorry it's a long video, but pretty funny- well to me at least!

Potty Training Success??
As you all know we have been potty training Georgia. She is doing pretty well, but is still in diapers. I decided not to use pull-ups- I just don't understand the concept of them- it's basically a diaper that doesn't open on the sides. So we have cloth training pants we use at home, but mostly we just ask Georgia about every 1/2 hour to see if she has to go. Some days she is very willing, others she isn't.
Today I was cleaning out the garage (which is also a make-shift playroom). I had moved Georgia's potty out there last week. We were having friend over and she has refused to use it for months now, insisting on using the big potty instead. Georgia walked in to the garage and saw the potty. "Oh, Potty Mommy!" She said. Then she picked it up and walked back inside with it. I was still cleaning up when she walked back out a few minutes later with a clean diaper in her hand and asked me to put it on her. She was wearing a dress so I asked her if her diaper was still on to which she said, "I go potty Mommy, I go potty!" Sure enough her diaper was off so I ran to see where she had gone potty. When I walked into the bathroom her potty was back in it's place. She had come inside, removed her diaper put it in the trash can- put the padded seat back on the potty and went to the bathroom, then went to her room to get a clean diaper and came back to ask me to put it on her! I was floored!!!
About 30 minutes later she told me she had to go potty again so I followed her in to help her and she turned and said, "No Mommy, I do it" and pushed me out of the bathroom, so I watched her from the hallway remove her diaper and go to the potty a second time all by herself! We just might be done with diapers during the day! YIPPEE!!
Georgia is talking a lot now, and basically chatters to me the entire time she is awake. She is learning new songs at Mother's Day Out that I love to hear her sing. The first time I realized she was singing a song I had not taught her how to sing I was so excited. I then tried for 2 days to get it on video tape- which I finally did. It melts my heart to see her sing it- it's only "Wheels on the Bus" but it is soooo cute to see her sing and do the hand movements they taught her. If I have time I am going to try to figure out how you post videos on her, then you call all see what I mean!!
The pacifier also went "Good-bye" this month. She has always had it only at nap time and bedtime, but we decided it was time to get rid of it for good. We actually just took it away last week and there are still a few stragglers laying around the house in different places. Georgia has found a few, but she knows they are now contraband. Just last night she and Doug were playing in the living room when she ran off and told him, "Stay there Daddy, I'll be right back" When she walked back in the room there was a very familiar shape under her t-shirt, and she refused to show us what is was. The little sneak had found a pacifier and stuck it under her shirt to hide it for later!
I finished making Georgia's Halloween costume last week- it turned out very cute! Here is a sneek peek at some pictures of it- I still have to make a "Head-piece" for it, but you can get the idea:
And I will leave you with some pictures of Georgia from Halloween the past 2 years:
