Big Times

Can you believe it? Santa brought Jackie's duck potty early this year. I figured we might as well have her get used to the idea. She took off her diaper and sat on it like a big girl and then got up - she didn't use it. It brought tears to my eyes and I put a diaper on her and decided not to rush the matter. I am not mentally stable enough for this stuff! She is getting too big too fast. She'll be 10 and I'll still be willingly changing her diapers. Eek... maybe we'll just wait until she turns 2 or until she insists or something.
We picked up the jungle playmat from Grammy's and H-ster freaking loves it and Jax kind of likes it too again.
We turned Jack's car seat to face forward, which is 1.5 months earlier than the recommended time, but we had our reasons that are too boring to type here.
Lastly, we decorated the Xmas tree last night. Jackie saw the huge thing of glass balls and started screaming "Ball!" She wanted to throw them and play ball. Not good. So we waited until she went to bed to put them on the tree. She had fun watching Dada put up the tree and also looking at ornaments we have with pictures on them.

I would've had this tree up November 1, but Jim has archaic ideas about not having a tree up before T-giving. We compromised, as my dad's T-giving was Saturday. So, by one side of my family's standards, Thanksgiving is over.
