So this week was week two of potty training for Eliza and we had a much better week! She is pretty consistently going in the toilet for #1 and she had a major breakthrough on #2 this week. We have some bigger rewards for her when she does #2 and on Thursday she finally decided that she would get up the guts to try to go. She told Sarah that she needed to go and then just went into the bathroom to “have some privacy” and took care of business! She was tickled pink with herself! She could hardly contain herself when she told me about it when I got home from work. She got to have a reeses and a cool key chain when she did it and she kept them for a day until she had another accident. We’re still trying to get her to consistently have courage to go. She gets up and then just gets scared and kind of freezes up. I suspect that we’ll have another few awesome breakthroughs this week.

After our week last week of sickness this week has been much better on that front. We’ve actually had several nights that everyone has been able to sleep all night! We’re almost done with all of our antibiotics and feeling back to normal.

We had a good day at church today and Eliza had a great time in nursery. Sarah visit teaches our good friend Sis. McCullough and Eliza and her are good friends. Sis. McCullough was substituting in nursery today and they had a great time playing together. Eliza told her all about our daddy daughter date we had on Saturday.

For several weeks we’ve been planning on going on a daddy daughter date this week. We had a gift certificate to Chick-fil-a and tickets to the Round Rock daddy daughter dance and we were super excited to go to that. Eliza loved getting all ready and dressed up to go. She picked out my blue shirt that she wanted me to wear and got all dressed up in her pretty pink dress. Sarah did her hair like “princess hair” and Eliza loved it! She was just beaming the whole time. We had a fun dinner at Chick-fil-a and then drove to the dance. (She fell asleep on the way over). They had the rec center all decorated fancy and had people there to welcome us and make the girls feel super important.

Eliza just wanted to dance the whole night away. She had a lot of energy for the first hour of the dance and was jumping and dancing and spinning and flying all over the place. We saw some friends from church there and she had some fun dancing with them too. She was so sweet just wanting to dance with me. I had to convince her to go get some refreshments but she really just wanted to dance. She wanted to stay all the way to the end and was super sweet. I had a great time with her and I’m excited to make this a tradition for us.

We also had a family assignment to clean the church on Saturday and we had a good time doing that. Eliza and James worked with us (they refilled the toilet paper and re-dusted things…) and had a good time.
