Busy Bees

We are very busy here in our household. For those of you that don't know we are getting ready to move. We have sold our house and have one to move into. We will be heading one county over in a effort to get closer to Ryan's work and Nanny daycare. This move will cut down on travel time significantly. Ellie seems to be handling it well. We are trying to prepare her by talking about the events to come.

She has decided that she want to live in a "pink house with a little red heart on it." Our new house has a play set in the backyard. She can't wait to have her own playground.

Potty training is going well. She has a accident here and there, but mostly makes it to the potty. Blue M and Ms are her favorite reward. Peeing during naps and bedtime will take a while to disappear.

Today Ellie had her first official nap in Nanny's big bed. She has outgrown the pack and play. We knew it was a matter of time before she would protest. Today she told Nanny that she didn't want to sleep in it. I hope to ward off moving to a big girl bed at night for a while. She has plenty of room in the crib and hasn't figured out how to climb out.

So, needless to say with our move happening in a few weeks activity will be slow as far as posting goes. (yes- slower than it has been) We will try our best to keep updating the blog. Hopefully in month or so life will slow down a little. It will be just in time to enjoy the fall temps on our new screened in porch!

Congrats on all that is good and especially for selling your house in this tight market! Being closer to work and family is so smart.
