All kinds of new things!

Where to start? There is the obvious new addition to our family, Brenden Allen Fringer! But since he is the newest change I'll save him for later.

First, we have been very happy with Sierra as she has fully embraced her big girl bed. We have had our share of issues but overall I've been impressed with how she is dealing with the obvious freedom that a toddler bed could give her. Nap time has been the hardest challenge since she isn't usually tired enough to stay in bed when there are so many books to look at on her shelf. But if sleep doesn't happen I am trying to get two hours of 'room time' for her. Here is a picture of her the first night in the big girl bed.

Next was the fun we had with getting Sierra ready for her baby brother. It was very cute to hear her take on what would happen. She often said "when baby brother comes out, he's gonna drink hims milk, and sleep in hims crib, and play with hims toys!" Then right at the end she started telling us that Baby Brother was in her tummy which was just too cute. Here she is proudly displaying her baby tummy.

Next I'm so happy to report that Sierra has gone pee-pee on the potty before bedtime the past two nights! I'm very excited about that because for several months she hasn't had much of an interest in sitting on the potty. When I've asked she's very politely said, "no thank you". So last night her Mommom asked her if she wanted to sit on the potty and she said yes. Then tonight she asked to go sit all on her own! Yeah, let's hope it continues!

And finally, for some cute pictures of Brenden, please see the next post.
