Big Kid Moments

At the beginning of the year, we moved Hudson to a booster seat. He reached all the requirements and was getting too big for a car seat.


Now, he looks like such a big boy. I can't believe he will be 5 in April!



On January 21st Gianna started potty training. We got prepared with panties, treats, apps on the Ipad and a sticker chart. I had a week where we could stay home and concentrate on the training. 
She picked out Hello Kitty & La La Loopsey panties

watching potty training videos 

looking at books to get use to sitting on the potty 
I started out by getting her sit on the potty for a while until she went and then I brought her every 30 minutes and stretched out the time longer and longer. On the first day, she had 3 accidents and by Day 3 she had none! I was so surprised she took to it so well. She started to go on her own and tell me that she needed to go. I would give her a little piece of candy for a reward. 

She pulled the toy basket to her while sitting on the potty  
Now, she is mostly using the big potty. She does have accidents every now and then and is still having trouble with bowel movements. I have her wear a pull up when we go out just in case. It has been a good potty experience so far. She turned 2 1/2 last week.

She did a great job! The ballet and pointe dances were so powerful and beautiful this year! I always get teary when I watch and this year was no different.  I volunteered on Sunday for the last showcase I was with a class next to Jules and got to watch some of her dances from back stage.  Gianna and Jules were both in this showcase, so my parents came to watch on Sunday A long weekend for the big girls, but they love doing it

February 2025

The girls had dress rehearsal for dance. I went on the Thursday class on the 6th. We got to see a preview of the dances.  Hudson had his first driving session on February 10th. He has to do 8 hours of driving with 2 hours being at night. I waited in the parking lot until he left. We did pretty good waiting while he was gone, but we kept checking Life 360. He said it was fine, I thought he was a little nervous. Afterward, he said it was no big deal. I guess we shouldn't be surprised, since he has been driving off road vehicles since he was young.  We spent Valentine's Day at home and made pizzas.  My birthday was on a Friday and I had work. Josh surprised me with an orchid for my desk.  I had lunch with some of my family at Albashas. Dillon was in town for something else and was able to come to lunch.  We celebrated our 19th anniversary by going to The little Big Cup in Arnaudville.  The food was really good. I had the crab cake and eggplant stack and Josh h...
