A week of growing up

Daddy working on his truck!

Hello, I am Jenni, look at me and my shoes!

Goodbye!

My big girl on the potty, Holy Cow!!!

Grace was invited to her first Preschool friend Birthday party, while I never actually saw her (running around the whole time) I actually caught Jenn stopped in one place!

This week has been a little bit on the edge for me. Jennifer actually went PeePee on the potty, I literally was just telling Ryan that she is starting to dress herself and that she will be following that up with potty training pretty soon. I had no idea it was going to be this soon!!!

Grace is loving Preschool and I am so glad that we got her into her program, she has a best friend and a lot of other friends too. She even brings home art projects some of her friends have made for her. She is loving school, and I love that!! This week we had to sign her up for Pre-K for next year, I am already having anxiety over it because she will be gone all day long. Yes, Jenni and I will get lots of private time, but this is a HUGE step for me and I am sad and happy and totally anxious.

In other news I got a flash for my camera and a fancy pair of shoes for a wedding we are going to in April. The flash, I have wanted for a long time and I am going to be using it while I photography a wedding (my first wedding) in June, I hope to use it more often and learn to use it so I can further advance my photos, the real photos, not the ones of my weekly adventures. The shoes however, I took back to the store. : ( Sad I know, but I just will never wear them again and my Mommy-self just cannot rationalize with the Cheryl-self buying shoes that are totally impractical to my life. Call my crazy, I know I "deserve" them as my Mother and Ryan told me, but I just can't bring myself to wear these shoes when I know that I will hardly ever wear them again. Instead I am going to get a different pair of shoes, still fancy and fun, just not so high and ones that I know I will wear again! I hate having two me's inside my head!!!

The shoes I gave up! So cute!
