Katya from Russia

Pond Party

Battle Creek Park Pond Party was our outdoor adventure for the week.. We caught tadpoles, turtles, fish, baby salamanders... All not all the time..

This baby painted turtle was the size of a quarter.

All the kids brought their pond dwelling creatures to have a show and tell. It was very cute. Ms. Tanya even had pictures of all the animals.

D was fiercely awaiting his turn to dip his net. Although he refuses to get his hands dirty so I spent most of the time searching thru the muck.

First day of Sam's potty training (April 1, 2013)

Just for the record this was a second attempt. We tried to weeks ago and clearly neither of us was ready. Today's attempt went very well. We had one minor accident, but he was great about letting me know he had to go.. and letting me know he got a sticker AND chocolate afterwards!! Photo  is blurry but its a very Full potty chart.
