Miller tee-teed on the potty for the first time last night. She’s been sitting on it regularly for a while now with no success. Quite often she’ll stand up and go on the floor while walking to the tub for her bath. But last night while Daddy was doing bath duty she did it!! I would say I’m sorry I wasn’t there to witness it. But apparently she was so excited when it happened that she stood up, the potty stuck to her little booty, and spilled all over the floor! Oh well, you take what you can get. What a big girl!

Aunt Suzanne took Wilson to run a few errands this afternoon. While they were out he picked up a rather large bag of gummy worms. On the way home Suzanne said, “Is your mom going to shoot me for letting you get that big bag of candy?” Wilson thought for a minute and said, “No. She doesn’t know how to use a gun.”

Sorry it’s been awhile since my last post and sorry that this one doesn’t have any photos. But I do have a funny story- maybe that will tide you over until I unload my camera. We’ve been having a great summer so far and are really enjoying swimming and seeing friends.

The highlight has probably been our trips to Memphis which is where I am as I type. This time the whole fam. came up for Daddy to get to hang out with some friends to celebrate the upcoming wedding of a good buddy. On the way up we stopped in Grenada at this little shopping center that has an indoor courtyard that the kids could run around in and let off some steam. It was about 7:30 so the only thing open was the restaurant where we were having supper. After we ordered I took the kids out to explore while we waited on the food. We started looking in the windows of this really cute kids shop. I was tying to look for things to show Wilson and Miller starts her usual one sided chatter. I started listening to the chatter and realized the word “shoes” was coming up a lot. I looked over and she was sitting on the ground taking her shoes off and absolutely drooling over the display of Mary Jane Crocs in the window. When I told her we weren’t going to be getting any shoes, she laid out on the brick floor and pitched a grand fit for the whole world to see. The ladies from the restaurant came out to see what was wrong and to offer assistance (crayons, crackers, etc.). I let them know that unless they had a key to their neighbor’s store, we were just going to have to ride this one out. So we did. Until the food came and she got to pitch another fit because she was sharing with me and couldn’t have her own fork.

Last week we had the annual Bomgar night at the Braves game. It’s always so much fun and a great way to measure the growth of the company- in the first picture you can see orange shirts in three bays of seats there was one more section on the other side of us. We also had two air conditioned boxes. Last year we had one box and two sections of seating and the first year there was no inside seating and just one little section of seats off the deck where we ate! Wilson had a great time- he’s become such a pro after playing t-ball. He wanted to wear his whole uniform “in case one of the baseball men sees me- then they’ll know I play t-ball!” He settled for just his hat and a Bomgar shirt. Miller enjoyed climbing all over the stands and some of Daddy’s coworkers. She and I had to leave about half way through the game, but Dad and Wilson stayed until the very end and enjoyed the fireworks.
