No Longer a Baby
A few nights ago Hayden told us she was going to sleep in her bed. After months and months of falling asleep in the family room, we were in a state of shock and couldn't process the new information - Potty trained AND going to bed nicely? Who is this girl?
Kind of sad these days are over:

Indecent Exposure
Hayden has been doing really well with potty-training. It's exhausting due to all the false alarms, but we really can't complain - She's barely had any accidents and is great at telling us she needs to go.
The kids love malls, so today I decided I'd take them to Fashion Valley for lunch. It's mostly high-end stores, but it's close to the house and has a few shops they love (Disney and Lego).
We went potty before we left.
We stopped at the bathroom once we arrived (no joke, 8 minutes have passed).
We got pizza at the food court, and sat down.
Three bites in Hayden yells she has to go potty and before I can put my slice down, her pants and underwear are at her ankles.
I can only imagine my face (and those enjoying their lunches) as I pulled her pants up.
We RAN to the bathroom (you know, the one we were in 4 minutes ago...).
Nothing. Yet another false alarm.
Only me.

Mornings with My Children
My eyes open to a face three inches from mine.
5:45am - I need a show.
Go back to bed.
5:52am - I want a mint waffle.
Can we discuss this in an hour?
6am - I need a show.
Fine... Chuggington and waffles, enjoy. I am going back to bed. Must. Get. Sleep.
6:03am - I don't want Chuggington. Is there a new Blaze?
Done. Please let me sleep.
6:07am - I need another waffle.
Okay, here it is. Please let me sleep.
6:15am - I have to go potty.
Then go.
6:20am - There's a Mustang outside!!
6:27am - I need water.
It's on the table.
6:35am - Hayden is awake.
Yes, as is the entire neighborhood. Your lovely siren noises are much appreciated.
6:36am - I don't like Blaze. I want Bubble Guppies.
6:39am - I need hot toast.
6:42am - Not THIS Bubble Guppies.
6:48am - Cole took MY blanket!
6:53am - I need more hot toast.

Monster Jam
Beautiful morning at Balboa Park.

After a nap, it was Monster Jam time!!



From the trolley ride to/from Petco... To the crazy races and tricks... Date night was a success! It was great hearing all the stories and seeing Cole's happiness in Tom's photos.
While the boys were off having fun, Hayden and I walked for ice cream.

She was still upset she was left behind and didn't consider ice cream a "date." She kept asking why we weren't going to Disney on Ice (again), so we went home and I gave her a pedicure while she watched Little Charmers.
We should've named her Princess.
