Full Monty

We’re in big girl panties.  I say “we” because it’s a team effort.  On Wednesday and Thursday, Kensington wore them around most of the day.  On Friday, my friends Helen and Nancy told me I needed an “all or nothing” approach.  The exact phrase was “you need to go full monty”.  So, since Friday at 10:50 a.m., Kensington Kate has worn nothing but undies unless she was asleep in bed.  So far, so good.  Yes, she’s had some accidents, but she’s also done a great job using the potty and she finally today, told me that she needed to go.  She’s worn her panties out to eat dinner on Friday night (no accident), she wore them in the car to my grandparents’ house (1 hour drive with no accident there or back)…she’s worn them all weekend.  I’m so proud of my big girl…I’m actually, really proud of us for surviving.  We just need to continue to work extra hard today and tomorrow because she has school on Tuesday and I want to send her with confidence.

 We’re spending a lot of time in the bathroom these days, so Kensington has discovered how cool it is to wear mommy’s high heels.

 She’s dancing and singing “Let it Snow”.  Seriously.

 While at my grandparents’ house on Saturday afternoon, Mr. Stinker enjoyed sitting in the magazine basket.

 We went on a walk Saturday evening, and I snapped these pictures as the event was unfolding…event: Smith daring to touch Kensington’s Capri Sun.

 Reaction to said event: Smith getting scolded by big sister.

 Poor Lily.  Kensington loves walking my dad and mom’s dog…the dog on the other hand, hates it.
