George had knee surgery for the second time today. All went well and he is propped up on the couch downstairs for now. Kelly, Dave, and Laura came over tonight and made chili and cornbread, yum! Madison is doing well with potty training this week. We started on Sunday the 20th and she's used the potty 21 times! Today she pooped in the potty for the first time! Funny the things we get excited about as parents!

Madison went pee pee on the potty!!!! So very exciting in our household!!!! I was in Auburn, so George called me so that Madison could share her exciting news! I'm so proud and hope she continues to do it!

Jayden Gives Us a Scare!

We went to see Santa at the Galleria last Monday and after four snapshots, we finally got a photo with the kids both looking at the camera, although lacking smiles. Afterward, while playing in the family bathroom area, Jayden ran his head into the sharp corner of the glass TV frame!! Blood came rushing from his head while his screams filled the room. Luckily my parents were with me, so my mom watched Madison while my dad and me tried to stop the bleeding with paper towels. I was terrified, trying to map an escape route to the nearest hospital while calming my frightened son. Thankfully, the bleeding stopped quickly and we saw that Jayden had a small "hole" on his head instead of a large cut, so stitches wouldn't be necessary. What does Jayden want to do right afterward? Run right over to play the same game that caused this whole situation!! I guess he hasn't grasped the concept of cause and effect yet!
