Tell me if this sounds right.....To get my two year old to stay in her diapers I promised her that I would go buy her a new potty and big girl underwear. I have been dreading the day she learns to take off her diaper herself because I have seen what my sisters have gone through. Particularly when they go to get there kids up from naps to find a naked toddler with surprises all over their crib. This was a day I could put off for another year and with no older sibling I thought we would, but Kate had other ideas. So, after running around naked for awhile screaming "potty" and then compromising with the hopes of big girl underwear we set out in the storm to fulfill my promise.
Umbrellas were almost useless and my clothes ended up drenched anyway, but we made it there and back in one peace. The worst part was that it seems the more rain and the harder it falls the faster people drive. Luckily we only went a few blocks. We came back tried out our new underwear and potty then we took a long nap. We spent the afternoon playing dress ups with the windows up to listen to the rain. This too was a compromise instead of Kate being out in the middle of the downpour and wind. She loves to be in the rain.
She can pull off anything.
Then to top off our day Chris and I set out to get a new bed for Kate. We had to get it while it was on sale and we got the very last one. It was worth the effort.
Kate is a little suspicious of her new bed to sleep in it but she likes to play in it right now. She has four months till her brother comes so hopefully she can adjust. But we are grateful we made it through our first storm no damage done.

I am glad you guys made it through the storm. They have been driving me nuts out here. I have been soaking wet all week. It feels like I live in Seattle. You and Kate are so cute together.
Cute pics! I'm glad you guys are alright and didn't get hit too hard. Ah, I never thought about them taking off their diapers during their nap...lawsy! no es bueno! Her big girl bed is way cute, I love it! You guys still coming out here in October? What days?
I am glad you guys are okay. That hurrican stuff is super scary. I love Kate's attitude - and her new bed. I dread the day Anna has to move out of the crib. I am sure she will never stop playing and go to sleep. I might be asking you for tips on that transition in the future!
I love her new bed! She has such a cute smile! That is funny she knows how to take off her diaper. I guess I have a little while before I have to worry about that. I can't believe all this hurricane stuff. That is crazy. I'm glad you didn't get hit too bad. I love the updates. How's your pregnancy going? Are you feeling well?
I am suprised you went out in the rain! It was crazy. I love the pictures and the bed is so cute! I was talking to Diana about Kate this morning and she was telling me how she is talking in sentences and I couldn't believe it!! She is getting so big!!
Kate is so cute! I'm not looking forward to the day when Easton figures out how to take off his diaper as well. I love her new bed. Kate is just growing up so fast. She definitely is a big girl now!

It sounds like you had quite an eventful day! I guess it really has been awhile since I have seen you all because Kate looks so much older to me! She is such a doll. You two just look like best buds. I'm glad that you weathered the storm well. I heard about it on the news and was worried about everyone back home. I hope the next ones will pass you by! well, we will be back this saturday for a short while--we should get together!

I am glade you guys are safe. I love her big girl bed it is adorable and sad that beens she definitely is not your baby anymore.
I just want to send out a plea to you that I want you to take more picture of you and your cute pregnant belly. Because if you don't I am going to take a whole bunch of picture and Do a belly post all about you while your here.
It's so hard to have you so far away!
Hey I'm glad you contacted me! We should get together or at least share fun things to do in DC:) Your little girl is SO cute! It looks like you guys are really sweet parents. I was a little worried about the hurricane but we were lucky all it did was flood our backyard and nothing else. DC seems really eventful so hopefully I can take advantage of it. Oh and Eden is only 8 months and she is already trying to take off her diaper (she's only been successful once) I am super worried!
Cute profile!!
i like it! and you didn't have to erase everything like jade did! haha!
Hey Laur. looks like you had an adventurous week. WHen does Doogie leave? I so can't believe he is old enough for all this. Tell him I say good luck. He is such a handsome kid. anyway, how are you feeling? not too much longer.
