Posting goofup - duh.

The previous post was supposed to appear yesterday, but I goofed and it was posted on another of the blogs that I post on instead. Eek! It's kind of blabberdy, so here's a more brief posting with fun news!

I felt the baby move!! I was trying to get to sleep last night (it's stupid - I am SO exhausted and yet there are nights when I cannot fall asleep. it's awful!) and after I turned over, I felt a whole bunch of movement right up under my ribcage, all fluttery! I had thought maybe I felt something at pilates in the morning while laying on my stomach, but I wasn't sure. But this was definitely baby. I've felt a few other things today, which are probably just gas, but it's neat to think that this kid is definitely developing! yay!

News from my other child - Emily peed in the potty yesterday! She is really smart about knowing that the potty is for sitting on and she's starting to put together that you take off the diaper to sit on the potty. While her bath was filling last night, I suggested that she sit on the potty and see if she had to pee, and she did!! She stood up and looked behind her, as though, "what was that?? what did I do??" I am so proud of her! Today we went to babies'r'us and bought more potty training supplies, including 3 packages of big girl undies. They're so tiny!! Hilarious to see, really. I have emailed Amanda, her sitter, to see if she has any insights to offer as to when to start in on potty training, since I really don't know what I'm doing besides introducing it to her and staying 100% upbeat. I am thinking I'll try to find some good books on potty training at the library, too, and get a little bit informed before I start in. She's got such good groundwork that I don't want to throw her off track at this point!

It's been a beautiful weekend here. We were at a friend's housewarming party tonight, and there were 3 other little girls who were within 2 months of Emily's age (older and younger) and a little boy who just turned 2. She had a fantastic time, and was so well-behaved! They're all really nice kids, but Emily just shines. I know I'm biased, but she looks so beautiful and expressive and engaging, even next to these really nice little kids. I'm so proud of my little girl. :)
