Potty talk and sand in my bed

This afternoon when I called to ask Paul how Anna's day at school went, he told me her teacher had good and bad news.

The good news was that she ran up to Miss Hilarie, told her she needed to pee-pee and poo-poo and actually did so when Miss H put her on the potty! Wow, that one came out of left field. This weekend we did alot of talk about undies and potty and stuff but still when she sits on the potty, nothing. So we are shocked to say the least she's shown some thoughtfulness on this...it must be a result of watching her school buddies take turns on the potty at school. We haven't been pushing the whole potty training issue though we talk about it. We've decided to let her do it when she's ready. This is interesting to see where it goes...Since it hasn't been something I've been obsessing over, I was surprised at how proud and happy I was when Paul told me! It has more to do with her getting the concept than actually getting potty trained I guess. Anyway, what a big girl!

The bad news was that she apparently spit on a little buddy who was already crying for some reason or another at school today. Oops...ick...but kinda ha-ha if only for the visual of it. The only time we have taught Anna to spit is while brushing her teeth. So this is NO DOUBT something she's picked up from her little school buddies.

Spitting was overshadowed by the potty work of the day so she earned herself a popsicle at home. She also got to go swimming with LW and her kids. This year Anna has been scared in the swimming pool the few times we've taken her. (That's how it started last year too but by the end she loved it). Anyway, with her friends there tonight Paul said she had a blast, even jumping to Paul from the steps and dunking her head completely a few times! My big girl!!!

I miss them. Boo...

In Florida, it was a great day. The plane ride was awesome, the rooms are nice, the beach is right by my room (I can actually hear the tides right now as I type this in my bed), the company is great and the food...well, I'm doing my best but kinda blew it with a big fat bread pudding desert tonight. Too good to pass up (but I shared it!). I've gotten my fill of the good food :)

I'm tired but wanted to get in the post on Anna's day. Tomorrow's a long work day at KSC but it will be neat. This whole trip has been awesome so far and it's only day 1. Tomorrow the real work begins and I'm looking forward to it! I can't believe I have the coolest job, surrounded by some cool people. Dang.

Goodnight from Cocoa Beach.
