March 2008

Dave and I went to Playa del Carmen, Mexico, for an entire week!!! This was our first trip since our honeymoon almost 4 years ago. The kiddos were very excited that mom & dad were going scuba diving with Nemo and Dory. They were also really happy that Papa & Grandma Good came to stay with them for a whole week! Wouldn't you know, Dylan had a bad fall the day we left and cracked his head open and ended up with a nasty scar (his first of many we are sure). While we were gone, the kiddos marched upstairs and got their swimsuits on (Dylan put on one of the girls suits) and came down and told Papa & Grandma they were going scuba diving. How cute is that! We had a fantastic time but really missed LTD in a BIG WAY!! As souvenirs, we bought sombreros, ocean magnets and snorkels & goggles for LTD and Kahlua for Grandma (we thought she might need it after a week with the munchkins). When we got home, we had an official Potty Party for Taylor!! We baked cupcakes and LTD decorated them. Sugar Police (aka Dad) made sure they were rationed on how much frosting they could use to decorate. They each got a candle to blow out and Taylor beamed from ear to ear as we sang out the Potty Song (Here's to sister Taylor.....!). Only one left to go and by the looks of it, it may be quite some time. He doesn't seem to mind running around with poop or pee in his underwear or pull-ups. We are back to diapers since we are sick of accidents in his "supposed" big boy underwear. I guess it's just not his time to shine, yet.
