Lily has been such a rock star this past week.

We started her at Preschool! Can you belive it? She told me on the first day – I am not going to cry this time. I dropped her off and she didn’t even give me a kiss she just ran off with the teacher to wash her hands and have a morning snack. Background info….there is a new private preschool (like Phoenix & Kindercare) that opened up right by Louis’ work in the Zinfandel Village neighborhood (so it is in a neighborhood, next to an elementary school) and it is called Goddard, they are only two other schools in California but they are really big in the east.

We went there with Lily for a tour and then to their Open House. She got to meet the teacher and play in the classroom for a little bit with the teacher. We then took her back again to reserve her spot and once again to fill out the paperwork. Then just a few days later (June 10th) it was time for her first day. I was so nervous that she was going to cry and fuss and fight about the whole thing. But she was excited to go and she hoped in the car and said ‘ Daddy is going to pick me up from Preschool after lunch’ and then she said ‘ I am not going to cry this time’…referring to the two times we tried to get her to go to the Phoenix school.

Anyway, when we got there she was good to go. I walked her to the class room and she ran off with the teacher. I went home and didn’t know what to do with myself. I had work to do but I was pretty sure that the school was going to call me and tell me to come and pick her up. But, nope all was well and Louis picked her up after her lunch and brought her home. I was in shock.

My next surprise from Lily was in the form of pee. The teacher works on Potty Training in her classroom. Once she is potty trained (and 3 years old) she can move onto the next class, which she really wants to do because they have a bug exhibit and a computer in there. Anyway, she peed in the potty twice at preschool (not in her pull up) for the teacher…someone she doesn’t really know got her to pee in the potty. She did it again the next time at preshcool too (which was Thursday). On Friday and Saturday at home she wanted to only wear underwear, no pull up. She went to the potty on her own several times and only had one accident a day (in the form of poop)…but wait there is more! We went out on Saturday and she kept her pull up dry until she used the potty with Auntie Daria at the Punchline! She is now using public potties! She started doing poops in the potty on Sunday! What the heck? This kid is on a roll.

Now she is cutting her last molars, her two year molars are coming in on the top. She told me that her top teeth hurt, she let me look in her mouth (another shocker) and there they were, poking through.

My baby is getting so big!

Our next goal is to get her to go to sleep without us in the room. It almost happened tonight, but she keep having to go pee in the potty that she got up so many times and then came looking for me. But oh well, we will try again tomrrow night and maybe I can get more things done around the house!!

See, look below…even Junior is a happy about it!

Daddy rode with me for my first rollercoaster ride. Despite the look on my face, I was having a great time.

I went on the log ride with Mama and Daddy a few times.

For dinner, we decided to go to Hooters…now I know what you are thinking..but don’t think it. Hooters is just a name…their food is good…ish and the girls are really nice. We did get confirmation that a Hooters is coming to Rancho Cordova so Daddy can have chicken wings & mama and I can have grilled cheese sandwiches from time to time.

We did pick up a new shirt for me at Hooters. It says on the front “Future Hooters Girl” and on the back it says “Make ‘em drool early”

Here are some pictures I drew today. Mama thought I should put them up on the blog. They are pictures of my kitties and a doggie I saw today at the pet store.

This is a frog I drew for Daddy. The frog is jumping.

Here is Kenny and Grandma, I love playing with Kenny. I like to give him toys and play with him.

This is me with Donovan & Julia at Grandma’s for Easter.

Julia really wanted to put my hair in ponies, so I let her play with my hair for a while.
