1. We moved Maggie to the other big girl bed in Campbell's room. The first night they were up until after 10:00 despite numerous attempts on our parts to convince them to go to sleep. At one point I went in there to find all the pillows and blankets on the floor and the girls jumping on the beds. It was so cute and I'm excited to think about the memories they'll make as they share this time. And luckily, most nights have been much easier than the first night! (Oh, and yes, if you can tell from the picture, Campbell's name letters are above Maggie's bed. This used to be Campbell's bed and the letters are pretty much glued to the wall because she went through a phase where she kept knocking them down. Campbell decided she wanted the other bed so we're going to have to figure out what we're going to do with Maggie's letters...)
and isn't this a cute picture of them coming to join me in the bathroom as I tried in vane to take a peaceful bath about an hour after they went to bed...
2. Campbell and I picked some Queen Anne's Lace flowers on our run the other evening. I remember doing "experiments" with these flowers with my mom as I was growing up by putting them in water with food coloring. So, Campbell and I are repeating this experiment and having fun observing the changes in the flowers!
3. The girls and I took an impromptu trip to the zoo last week. They were so much fun! I'm loving this time that they are more independent and fun.
4. I've already talked about how much we're loving going to the pool and it just keeps getting better. As well as going on the weekends, several nights we've met Robbie there after he got off work and had a picnic dinner and played in the pools. Maggie is getting so brave and with a little help from Campbell, will go up the steps and down the little slide.
5. We have been working on another big girl milestone with Maggie this week: potty training! I have to say, she's been amazing. I put her on the little potty while watching a TV show and she went the first time and there's been no looking back! Today was day 2 and she didn't have any accidents and even had a dry diaper when she woke up this morning and after nap!

Oh, and kind of a cute story regarding #1: the writing of this blog was just interrupted by Maggie doing her best Lassie impression and running out of the bedroom (we put them down about an hour ago but they've been talking and playing) and pointing to the bedroom frantically and saying "Daddy, Daddy, chaoeaeorhneonjdnodaaonowaloa!" Turns out Campbell was stuck between her bed and bedside table and she told Maggie to come get help.
