Tennis, Tennis, and more tennis....

Jack sitting in his booster seat eating lunch. Shortly after saying "I'm Stuck"

Emma and Grandpa at our Friday night hangout El Porton

We are so proud of Emma she has used the potty at least once everyday since her break through. Jack is a talking machine. Grandpa came over today after going out to lunch and Jack was inside and he could see Grandpa outside and he kept saying "Grandpa" over and over (we did go outside and Grandpa pushed him and Emma up and down the driveway in their cars). Our favorite saying of Jack's right now is "I'm Stuck". Our favorite saying of Emma's right now is "No, I say NO!"
Bobby and I are playing in a tennis league called T-2 and we call our opponents and set up the time and date that we play against. Well, we won our division!! We had our first playoff match last night at 8:30 and won. We finally finished at 11pm!! So now we play our next round in the next few days. My womens ALTA team is currently tied in first place. We should have had our final regular match of the season today but we had a rain out. So we will see how far our team can go. We cannot go too far because our USTA team made it to STATE finals last August and we are playing our State playoffs in Rome GA in two weeks!! How exciting. We have been playing lots of tennis lately. At one point, Bobby and I were both playing ALTA and K-swiss (a singles league similar to T-2) and we were playing T-2 together. We are both now done with K-swiss, but my next T-2 league (with my partner Denise) will start on Monday!! YIKES. Tons of tennis. But we love it and it gives us a date night once a week. Our Anniversary is on Thursday May 1st. It seems like we have been married forever, but it has only been 4 years. Wow a lot has happened in 4 years. We have two beautiful children. :)

YIPPPEEEEEEE!! We are so proud.

This week we have been working on potty training Emma. I bought an Elmo video which she watched. I also got an Ernie potty book that we have been reading. In both these things they show a little potty. I was adamant about not buying a little potty cause I did not want to re-train her to use a real potty. Anyways, I broke down and brought her to the store and let her pick out her potty. She loves it. She likes to sit on it. Of course I still have to bribe her a bit. For the past two days she has sat on the potty, but nothing. I read book after book and nothing. Well tonight we went to dinner and her pull up was dry so I know it had to be soon that she had to go. So I told her that I would give her a lollipop if she would sit on the potty in front of the TV and put on Little Einsteins. Well it worked. About 10 minutes after sitting there she said "Mommy I pooped!" Bobby and I are so proud of her. I am hoping that this continues tomorrow. If she uses the potty one time tomorrow I will be so excited.
Emma has also been doing this really funny thing for a while now. If we put her in her crib for a nap or for bed and she hears us sneeze, she asks us if we are ok. She will ask us over and over again if we are ok if we do not answer her. I am not sure why she thinks something is wrong, but she does. Now anytime we sneeze she asks us if we are ok. I think this is so funny. She also has started noticing more sounds. Tonight she asked me what noise was outside. It was a cricket chirping. Every time a plane flies by she tells me that there is a plane high in the sky.
