A Sunflower popped up recently in our backyard. We did not plant one (at least not in this spot!), and actually didn't realize what it was until right before it bloomed! Claire brought a started one home from school but it never materialized. The kids are amazed by both the flower and Mommy's bird seed explanation. There is a bird feeder in the same landscaped area that held sunflower seeds this spring. Quite the learning experience!
The potty is back out in our house. Much to Landon's astonishment, I did not take the potty back to WalMart when he asked a couple months ago, and it returned in glory a few days ago. He started asking to try after Sissy would go, and has found success several times! He has received a small monster truck each time (yes, it's a large bribery, but we've got to start somewhere)! Geoff taught him a trick of the trade this evening...the pic says it all!
Claire has loved her short "do" this summer, but has been anxiously awaiting the time when it would be long enough for a full-fledged ponytail again. Yesterday we realized that pig tails were possible now, with just a tiny bit hanging in the back. This is exciting stuff and Claire is very proud of her growing tresses!
Lastly, Landon loves these monster trucks...I think right now they even take precedence over the trains. Now although it may not be unusual for a young boy to love trucks, I can't believe that something has taken over the thrill of the train table. I knew it would eventually happen, it just happened unexpectedly! Hey, if it gets him to potty...
