girls' trip to hilton waikiki village

In early talks regarding our girls’ spring break staycation next week, we’ve been discussing what we’re going to put in our backpacks.  Lela and I talked about swimsuits and a change of clothes…. then Lela said, “Well, I can pack Estelle’s backpack.  She needs the pink spoon, the kitty bowl, the pony cup, her dot dot dress, a pair of pink underwear, and her superbear pajamas.”  Estelle, shaking her head in agreement, adds….”and Oatmeal Squares.  Mom, did you pack Oatmeal Squares?”

estelle at the toilet

she's gotten in the habit (after watching her buds, kyan and kalani, at the potty) of cleaning off the toilet seat.  well, after going potty recently, she wiped the toilet seat clean with her toilet paper (scrubbing it very meticulously) and then continued to use that same piece of tp to WIPE HER FACE AND MOUTH OFF!!  bleh!!!  brant was there to witness this all.  estelle!!!

estelle update

estelle is potty trained!  we did the weekend potty training (on halloween weekend!) and she completed it like a champ....after NEVER having gone on the toilet for us previously.  she was 2 years and 4 months old.

estelle's favorite letter is O.  she hates fuzzies (they scare her).

i asked estelle what she thought lela was doing at school today...she answered immediately, "oh, yeah, she's just doing the chicken dance with her teacher."
