We've been busy lately! About two weeks ago, we started potty training Natalie (#56). We decided to try the 3-day potty training method with her since the laid back approach was not working with her even though she wants to sit on the potty -- I think she just needed to know the feeling of letting it out when sitting there. So we put her in underwear as of 13 days ago and she hasn't gone back to diapers since. She even wore them right away during nap and bedtime. The first 48 hours were the toughest -- for her and us. But she didn't have any accidents at nap or bedtime for the first few days and only a 3 or 4 since. She had one day of regression last Friday but since then she's had only two accidents. We're so proud of her. She's such a big girl! She picked out her own underwear to start with (in combination with the ones Oma got her) and of course, they were Disney Princesses.
I've also tried two new wines in the last week (#99) - Crane Lake Petite Shirah and Middle Sister Drama Queen Pinot Grigio. I really need to take the wine class so I can try to explain better the tastes. But overall, I thought both were very good. I really like Shirahs though. One of my favorite types of red wine.
