Pottys, baseballs, and whatever else!

Gracie received a potty chair for Easter from Aunt Shell. She LOVES to strip naked & sit on the potty, but will absolutely not pee in it. She peed in my chair instead. Nice. Now I can't keep her diaper on. She can be a bit of a stinker. Her speech is taking off in leaps & bounds! I'm so excited to hear her ask for things using words. She says phone very clearly & has called many people on my contact list without my knowledge. She has learned to jump & does it whenever she can. If you see her, ask her to jump for you. It makes her very happy to do this! She still loves her doggies & they have learned to be patient with her. She hugs them very tight around the neck & they just lick her face & tolerate her.

Ronnie is playing baseball & is tremendous! He hit an in-the-park home run yesterday & was named player of the game. He rarely strikes out. I love to watch him play, though I find myself getting a tad competitive. Quite sad to be "that" mom. I love our parents of the kids. We hang out & talk & have a good time. It's hectic, but fun. Not much else to report. Gracie starts daycare on June 1st & it will be the first time she is away from me everyday. I think it will be good for both of us, but I know I will miss having so much time with her.

I get to go to Shipshewana with my Mom on Monday. Can't wait to go & have fun & relax! We get to eat a meal cooked by an Amish family & go to the shops & flea markets. Then in a couple of weeks, I get to go with my sisters to West Virginia to celebrate my Nannie's high school graduation. Yes, she is 91 & graduating from high school! Isn't she amazing?!?! What an inspiration she is!
